Banned from Wikipedia

It came to my attention that a 19 year old from Finnland banned the multimedia artist UEK and disallowed any further UEK entries on Wikipedia!.

Yippi, UEK must be doing something right!

Here is the copy Wikipedia has/had an issue with:

--------------------------------------------------
UEK mutimedia artist

Extending the frontiers of art is an all-consuming passion for UEK. Dissatisfied with the limitations of conventional techniques, UEK has successfully crossed unexplored borders by fusing traditional fine art techniques with modern technology. He's demonstrated that you can link proven and experimental methods and break the rules at the same time in order to come up with 3D constructions that communicate with today's media weaned audiences.

UEK's hybrid techniques can be traced to a well-rounded background in art, graphic design and music. Including sound recording & programming; advertising; photography; journalism as well as graphic and type face design.

UEK is living in New York City since March 1981. His artwork is represented in many private collections.

For a small sample art work from the Talking Pictures work (1990), called Metropolis (exhibited in New York City and the San Bernadino Museum of Art, California in 1992). click here[1]. Keep in mind, that the Talking Pictures include sound.

I will try to find some more information and artwork and post it here in the future.
