Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing. — Jimbo Wales [1]

People who think spacing after punctuation makes sense are out to sabotage the work of those of us who use space more efficiently — Louis Epstein [2]

Most startling question ever asked on a Wikipedia talk page

"A rather intrusive personal question: are you wanted by the State of California Office of the Attorney General for violation of sex offender registration requierments?" Question asked by El_C on talk page of User:Kenneth Patrick Bogan on 05:11, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC). I highly recommend a viewing of this talkpage to anyone and everyone. Definitely the most surreal series of events I have ever seen unfold in Wikipedia.

-'''Lars Ulrich''' (born [[December 26]] [[1963]]) is the [[drummer]] of [[Metallica]], which many consider to be the biggest [[Thrash metal music|thrash metal]] band of all time. He was born in [[Gentofte]], [[Denmark]] to an upper-middle class family and worked in a gas station and as a paper boy during his childhood and teens. Ulrich moved to [[Los Angeles, California]] at the age of seventeen. At the age of thirteen he begged his grandmother to buy him his first [[drums|drum kit]]. The kit was a ''Ludwig'' because he wanted to have the same drum kit as [[Ian Paice]] of [[Deep Purple]]. After publishing an advertisement in a local [[Los Angeles]] newspaper, called [[The Recycler]], he met [[James Hetfield]] and created a band whose name would be well-known for millions of people world wide&mdash;Metallica.

+==Most startling question ever asked on a Wikipedia talk page==
-His father, [[Torben Ulrich]], who was an acclaimed tennis pro from the late [[1940s]] into the early [[1980s]], was also a musician, playing [[jazz]] with such giants as [[Stan Getz]] and [[Miles Davis]]; another jazz legend, [[Dexter Gordon]], was Lars' godfather. He had a jazz club in which Lars spent a lot of time as a child. Because of his early introduction to music, it is not quite surprising where his interests in music come from. What was surprising, however, was when Ulrich made a sudden and dramatic change in his musical interests: he went from loving jazz to becoming obsessed with the [[NWOBHM|New Wave Of British Heavy Metal]]; the heavy metal era that was sweeping its heavy, rough, leather-clad way through all of Britain. Ulrich's first concert was that of great metal&mdash;[[Deep Purple]] in [[Copenhagen]] when he was barely nine years old. Needless to say, he instantly became a fan.  Despite Metallica's commercial success Lars' simplistic and predictable drumming style has resulted in his being dubbed 'The Ringo Starr of Metal'.

-Ulrich moved to the USA to pursue his training in tennis.
+--------
-In [[December]] [[1999]], Ulrich filed a [[lawsuit]] against [[Napster]]. This action caused him to be seen by many as a greedy musician, completely unaware of his fans. Due to this lawsuit against [[Napster]], [[Metallica]] lost many of their devoted fans who had supported them since the band's beginnings.

-In [[2004]] Lars divorced Skylar Satenstein, with whom he was married for seven years. They have two boys, Myles (b. [[August 5]], [[1998]]) and Layne (b. [[May 6]], [[2001]]).

-In [[2005]] a band called [[Beatallica|Beatallica]] (a band that mixed lyrics and riffs from [[The Beatles]] and Metallica) received a [[Cease and desist|cease-and-desist]] order from Sony (who hold a lot of the rights to the music of the Beatles). Surprisingly, Lars Ulrich stepped up to support the band.
