Your admin policy says that I may undo your block if it is "clearly wrong." Your block of me is "clearly wrong" to any reasonable Admin. But I do not have the means to undo it because of the way you implemented it. Please either undo your block of my personal IP address 108.20.219.169, or make an exemption, or allow me to talk to other Admins. Finally, I seek a formal accusation and a hearing in a Wikipedia setting so that I can defend myself fully -- your actions have disallowed me to even seek others' help.

I edit Wikipedia as JesseAlanGordon and I would like to begin a dispute resolution process against Timotheus Canens. Here is a bit of our exchange -- it went on for days with him blocking me and then mocking me for not knowing the technical details of how blocks worked. At issue is that I was innocent of any wrongdoing, and Canens just didn't care -- he had some agenda against some group, and I was an innocent bystander victim. I don't think people like that should be administrators. I think people like me SHOULD be administrators. I want to be able to fight off people like Canens next time I am attacked, or next time I see someone like me being attacked. How does one go about becoming an administrator? I have been a Wikipedian for several years on this account, and several years prior to that also, so I think I'm ready and eligible. I would like also to propose an "anti-award" called "Overzealous Deletionist" to counterbalance Carens' many "awards" like "Wiki Defender" and whatnot. I have learned an important lesson about internal Wikipedia politics by encountering Canens -- I was personally attacked by a deletionist hell-bent on blocking as many people as he could -- and it would be better if I had some warning, like seeing a "deletionist" accusation on his "awards" page. I have encountered the overzealous deletionists before and I want to fight them. I feel I cannot fight them equally as just an editor -- I need tools to fight them. Last year, after losing my first struggle with the deletionists, I switched to editing Ballotpedia instead of Wikipedia. Alternatives like Ballotpedia exist because of deletionists like Carens -- but if enough people like me stick with Wikipedia, we can fight off the deletionists or at least achieve some sort of balance with them. Thank you for reading. In summary, how do I:

Would you happen to know if this edit where the script didn't remove the "no include" tags was a fluke, as I checked again with this edit and noticed the same issue appearing. Thanks! Kevin Rutherford (talk) 11:26, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
