Antonio, since you're a sysop you can unblock yourself. Make a note of the IP that is blocked (the message you get when you try to edit will tell you this). Then go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Ipblocklist, find that IP and click the "unblock" link next to it.
I expect the reason you are blocked is because you share an IP with an AOL vandal.
Well, according to the block log, the reason he was blocked is because he shares an IP with his father, who was blocked for "repeatedly recreating duplictate article despite repeated requests to stop."
There's something wrong in the tone of that response. I have not looked at the article but I do understand that it was a biographical article, and the dispute was over whether the person's middle name should appear in the title of the article. The reference to "repeated requests to stop" suggests that the person making those requests was operating on the premise that the existing article was absolutely correct. What attempts did that person make to find a compromise solution?
