Plus Ultra

Hello,

I just wanted to inform you that the Plus Ultra band did really exist, they released two albums in the 1980's...I even saw them in concert once!!!...they do exist, maybe you are right, they probably were't influential in the creation of power metal and the reason you can't find anything on the net is that they were probably too small, but they did release records and have songs out there...they are not a hoax...a Kokarinen is an opera singer, he's not one of the best...but he is...the article is not hoax...

Plus Ultra

SirWoland,

First of all, before anything else, I would like to thank and congratulate you for your avid searches and thrist for finding the truth about Plus Ultra! Congratulations on a job well done...just out of curiousity, how much time did you spend searching for the truth about plues ultra?...time that by the way, you could have spent doing something more...what's the word?...PRODUCTIVE!...How was it that you first stumbled upon the article?...well no more delays, no more point in arguing...I made the article up!...There never was a band named Plus Ultra...never...I wanted to see how long a false article would last in Wikipedia...and it impressively lasted a few months, quite impressive...now you know the truth, delete the article I don't mind...oh and my age, well I had to change is from 27 to 37 so you would believe I actually went to a Plus Ultra concert. Incidentally, maybe you should learn a little respect. My real name is Michael Kiske, what is wrong with that?...Helloween's former lead singer also had that name...what is the matter with that? Your tough mind can't hanlde it?... Oh, and I almost forgot, please answer the messages you are sent!, it doesn't hurt to be a little brave now and then...try it, its not too bad.

You have no reason in making fun of me or making personal attacks at me, I am a greater collaborator to wikipedia than you, and that doesn't imply I must go out attacking everyone on wikipedia for articles I believe to be wrong, erroneous or fabricated...don't use sarcasm with me, if you want to speak about me or say something about me, say it in my face...don't go behind people's back and speak negatively about them or stalk them without knowing it...when you want to say something to someone you come to them like a man...with bravery and honour...and that's not only for the wikipedia world my friend, it's for life...be a man, don't be a coward, and maybe, just maybe, you might get to a point in your life where you might be a little more openminded, less methodic and might even score a girl!...how does that sound? Well Sir Woland...Oh I almost forgot, you want to honour your title as a knight of the order of garter?...be a man, follow their code of honor...which would mean contacting me before making changes or outlining me in the talk page and sarcastically referring to my name and my person...oh and please don't disrespect me ever again, you seriously don't know who you're dealing with here...seriously, I wouldn't do it if I were you...you might regret it Kiske 23:17, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Sir Woland

Sir Woland,

I know you will not be answering this, but I am going to write it anyway. First of all, your authority in this manner my friend, along with your judgments of my person being a liar, a vandal and a hypocrite are to me worth the same as your own life...which is absolutely nothing...nothing, I could not give a damn if you make claims about me or judge me in anyway...what are you? Nothing!...a methodic immature person that knows nothing about life...you are in no way and in no position to critize me or tell me how wikipedia works!...I do not vandalize wikipedia, it was only an experiment, and believe me, I know how wikipedia works, I have a lot more edits and contribuitions than you...so please refrain from calling me a vandal...and besides that, what are you? you follow the rules don't you and insult people when they break them, and judge them...I don't like people like you, I knew a person like you once, and I didn't like his attitude and one day I took the action into my own hands...if you know what I mean...Oh and just as side note, I didn't complain about your edits, I complained about the fact that you entered my profile and exposed me in wikipedia, you are in no way in any position to do that...oh and by the way, I only abhor sarcasm when it is directed at me...I can use it whenever I want, and I would find the comments insultive, that's why I wrote them, to insult you!...that was the point!...oh and please go ahead and contact the administration...do so...that's the way you work don't you? as a coward and an informant?...do it...you think I care?... I don't, because, unlike you, I have a social life and a life outside of the wikipedia universe... Kiske 20:33, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
