About Me
I was born in Los Angeles, California in Westchester on June 21, 1983 as Michael David Garcia (my full name) and I have a brother named Joseph (better known as Joe or Joey, born in 1985). On my school careers when I grew up, I was at Orville Wright Middle School from 1994 to 1997 and attended Westchester High School as of the same year I graduated, then Loyola Marymount University since 2001 and will soon be graduating in June 2005. I discovered this website in fall 2002 and registered in March 2003. My recent work for Wikipedia as of 2005 is music related stuff (band, albums, etc.) and I listen to KROQ sometimes (just like AlexTheMartian, he lives in my city too, but we're not neighbors though).
The time I was banned
I've been banned since mid-2003 and now i'm not anymore as of August 2004. I just wanna say that being banned was the worst thing that ever happened to me.

[WikiEN-l] 'Michael' unbanned
As an experiment, I am going to unban Michael and place him under the mentorship of Danny and Guanaco, who will watch after him. He will edit only under his new Mike Garcia account, and promises to make only good edits.
I ask all other sysops and users to give him a try, and try to welcome him into the community. I would like to ask those who have been directly involved with dealing with his constant problem edits to please just steer clear of him for awhile, and let Danny and Guanaco or others try to mediate and deal with him.
Essentially, banning hasn't worked very well, because he's a persistent problem. Blocking him has been problematic because he comes in on an AOL proxy, which blocks lots of other people.
This is a unique situation, and it warrants a unique experiment, and we have people (Danny in particular) who have taken the lead in volunteering to try something new.
