So, the contents of this page don't seem particularly egregious violations to me. Death by Stereo may be questionably, but Rancid has more airplay than a lot of other bands in Wikipedia.

Is this page supposed to hold Michael up to ridicule? Justify his banning? I guess I'm kinda missing the point. --Evan 03:38, 13 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I have no problem with Michael displaying his text here for the time being, until he finds a more appropriate location. -- Tim Starling 05:22, 13 Jan 2004 (UTC)

You want to delete Death By Stereo, huh? Go head and I quit Wikipedia now. - Michael 01:25 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Michael. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Michael~metawiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
