Comment

Perhaps we should forget this ever happened. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.95.135.59 (talkcontribs) 08:19, December 11, 2005 (UTC)

This was the straw that broke the camel's back - or in Misplaced Pages's case, the straw that made anonymous creation of articles no longer possible. I think it is interesting historically. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benjaminhill (talkcontribs) 09:49, December 11, 2005 (UTC)

Birthday

this page is weakly written, it could stay as trivia but structure should be improved

... age 38 as of 2005 ... why not type born in 1967 instead it's not like he's going to be 12 or 81 next year ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.113.99.10 (talkcontribs) 09:21, December 11, 2005 (UTC)

If his birthday is after today but before New Year's, he would have been born in 1966. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.247.59.209 (talkcontribs) 10:04, December 11, 2005 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages history

People who've said this wikipedia history are right when they say this is a historical event in the life of this website and of this siegenthaler incident, As such this needs to be a part of the "Siegenthaler wikipedia controversy" article.
