Dear Wikipedia Administrators,
I do not appreciate the comments made towards my son earlier this evening while he was trying to create a new page on your site. He is doing a project for his fifth grade art class and wanted to put some of his information on your website. I am not entirely sure what happened because one of your administrators blocked our computers e-mail address and said my son was being a "pain in the ass". This language is far from acceptable, especially since the boy is so young. I could not create a profile, as that was what I was prompted to do, I assume because of the block placed on our "IP address". I would however like this "danny" to at least apologize to my son, the block can stay if it was placed for a reason, but certainly there is no acceptable reasoning behind calling a fifth grader a pain in the ass. I expect to hear from your staff promptly on this matter.
Sincerely,
Jacob Kingston
PS Here is part of what my screen showed my son:
