If you have been editing Wikipedia for a while, you have probably heard the joke:
In other words, Wikipedia's success and continued existence requires that more humans want to help each other than hurt each other. That is so cool. These days, there is no shortage of reasons to be cynical, but the fact that Wikipedia exists at all means that, hey, maybe there is hope for us yet.
To be sure, Wikipedia is far from perfect, but that only means there is more work to be done, more articles to improve, more topics to cover. On Wikipedia, if you see a problem, you can go in and fix it yourself. On most articles, that is something you can just do right now. This is a project where the people who use the product and the people who make the product are one and the same.
Along the way, you'll meet all sorts of amazing Wikipedians, not all of whom will share the same opinions or interests as you. That's okay. That's good. Disagreement and conflict are inevitable in any diverse community. As long as we have mutual respect for each other as individuals, I have faith that we can move forward.
That way, we can reach a point where, decades or perhaps even a century from now, after we're long gone, subsequent generations—our kids and their kids—will be able to look back through that "View history" link and see our usernames in that history. What will your contribution to that history be?

— Marcy Cottrell Houle, preface to Wings for My Flight (2014 updated edition) Hello, and welcome to my user page. I'm Mz7, and I am a volunteer editor at Wikipedia. I made my first edits to Wikipedia in 2008 as an anonymous user. I created an account in March 2010, but I really only started actively editing in late 2011. Most of my work here is behind-the-scenes:
I have three alternative user accounts: User:Mz7 (alt), which I use on non-personal or otherwise insecure computers; User:Mz7 (test account), which I use to see how Wikipedia looks to new users; and User:Mz7 (bot), which I am currently using to update the case table you see at WP:SPI. Articles I have significantly contributed to:

Well then, I'll see you around! —Mz7

You truly made my day today. Thank you (again)! — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 14:27, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
*opens up visor* Hey there. *removes helmet* Sorry, I need to wear this thick, heavy suit for protection when the vandals start attacking us. Anyways, thanks for your barnstar! I am usually on every day, but today I was particularly driven to stay on as ClueBot NG was down earlier. It's down a lot recently, don't you think? School got in the way, but as soon as I had some Internet access that was fast enough, I was fighting vandalism using Twinkle, Huggle, and STiki. Now that the bot is back up, I can hopefully get out of this suit. *unzips zipper* Anyways, I think I'll repay a barnstar with a barnstar, so here it is! Have a great day! ...now if you can give me a hand with this heavy suit... K6ka (talk | contribs) 21:55, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
