I am sorry you were banned, that was inappropriate and should not have happened without us first having explained why what you did was problematic. However, this wiki does not run under standard wiki guidelines and that was clear from the start in our guidelines and we expect all editors to join in our partcular vision which is the only reason ths wiki exists at all apart from the Lexicanum. You are welcome to contribute as long as you follow the guidelines and contribute to the collective vision we established from the outset, which includes administration leadership, not just management. That is simply a cornerstone of this type of wiki and the reasons for this have been made very clear in the Important Links on the Main Page, which I urge you to read if you have not done so. Adjustments have been made to our policies so people will receive a warning and instructions if they mistakenly violate our guidelines so that such mistakes will not be repeated. However, those who do not like this wiki's administration are free either to contribute to the Lexicanum or to create their own. And I mean CREATE, not steal. That action was completely unethical, if possibly legal under Wikia copyleft licensing rules. I do not want to hear nonsensical justifications for unethical behaviour simply because individuals were mad or angry over a slight on the part of an admin on a wiki. However, this episode is now at an end. We welcome you to work with us and I am sure your skills will make a great contribution if you choose to stay with us.

As to what happened with you, the problem was very simple: please do not make extensive changes to wiki coding and large numbers of pages without first discussing the issue with either myself or Algrim Whitefan, and any other admins we add in time to come. This wiki has a master growth plan, and we would like to fit all quality user contributions into that plan where possible. I'm sure we can reach an accomodation with any changes you would like to add and based on your prior work, I think it is of high quality. Thanks.
