:Just to clarify for any other readers, [[User:Conversion script]] documents a segment of Wikipedia history from 2002, when the basic software was changed and all the pages were ''converted'' to the MediaWiki software. It is the user page of the account that was used to make this change; I suspect the actual password is held by Brion Vibber, if he even remembers it. It's pretty clear that Heymid was not here during that conversion, nor does he have the site development history knowledge to be able to really add something to that page. If he can't resist adding something, a proposed edit on the talk page would be more appropriate, so that it is vetted for correctness by those who have the necessary knowledge.

Stop editing User:Conversion script
The header says it all. You were not here when this happened, you do not have knowledge of how it happened, and your changes are incorrect. Thank you. Risker (talk) 16:29, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
- Regarding my first edit, the statement "every article" was made before I modified it to "most of the articles". HeyMid (contributions) 16:30, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
- Heymid, this is exactly the kind of thing that keeps getting you into trouble. From now on, please, don't edit anybody's userpage without their permission (even if they're blocked). HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:37, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
