I think he should be encouraged to email me and chat about it.
Sometimes that's helpful.

Michael is still around. I was on meta about three

turned up and I had an entertaining 20 minutes or so blocking half a
dozen users he created and clearing up the mess once I confirmed to my
satisfaction that it was him!
Michael's obsession with Wikipedia defies reason. For 9 months, he has
been adding information about several bands to Wikipedia, only to have
it consistently and rapidly removed. First to the English wiki, then to
meta, simple and even on es and pl using a machine translator.
I'm relieved there's no such thing as an English-to-Welsh machine
translator!
When he's not posting inaccurate information
about bands, he's making
fun of Hephaestos or other administrators. Ordinary wikipediholics like
ourselves at least have something to show for our efforts. Will Michael
eventually realise how much time he's wasting and do something useful
with his life? Or will his obsession continue throughout adulthood?
At least his user names are quite easy to spot (I didn't think George W.
Bush would really spend time contributing to meta about "Death by Streo"
(sic)...). I do hope he'll grow up some day soon, though.
