Welcome

Hi! I am Montanabw, I really do live in Montana and I really do own horses—who graciously allow me to upload their images into Commons from time to time. On Wikipedia, I've been around for a while, and am glad to assist other editors as I can. In real life, I am a small-town lawyer in private practice, which explains why sometimes I am not around to answer questions quickly and other times seem to live online; my work ebbs and flows. I occasionally write about legal topics, but in general, I do enough legal writing in my work; I prefer to work on other topics here. I also write books and do other freelance writing off-wiki. I am not compensated for anything I write on Wikipedia.

I sometimes fullfill requests for photos of objects or locations in Montana, particularly for National Register of Historic Places listings in Montana. I take random images when I travel, too, so check out my contributions at [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_by_Montanabw Commons]. I can also access documents in hardcopy at the Montana Historical Society. I choose not to use my real name on WP, but I've met a number of wikipedians off-wiki, helped facilitate some editathons in Montana, and I've been to a few WP-related events such as WikiConference North America/USA, so if you met me in real life, feel free to pop over to my talkpage and say hello!
