Dear Wikipedia Folks,
I have been blocked for editing my article, and continuing to add information. The article is currently a VfD candidate and the democratic process has been occuring until today. The apparent reason for my block was that Neutrality assumes I am using multiple accounts? Or is it that he thinks my article is a hoax? He also mentions the use of self-made images. These images are related to the article and it shouldn't matter that I created them. The information being presented is brand new research and though it may be deemed that it does not deserve a place on Wikipedia, I feel its unfair to block me, remove all images, and attempt to discredit me before the democratic process has completed.
Furthermore, the block policy states, "Use of blocks to gain advantage in a content dispute...", and since this is the only article that I have been editing, it would seem that this clearly is the case. If you don't like the research, vote the delete it. If you like it, vote to keep it. Don't censor me from attempting to bring in other sources that help the article.
I have e-mailed Neutrality about this situation, and have yet to see a reply. I would appreciate a valid reason with proof instead of assuming that all keep votes were done by me.
Thank you,
Stewart Pederson

What I note about this is that you do not tell us the name of the article or any details about it or what was considered objectionable about it. So your complaint kind of ends up in the air. It upsets but it offers no way to easily look at it and determine what's going on.
Although one could research it by looking at your user contributions I suppose. But why not just tell us?
Fred

Fred, the article is [[Yopu]]. It has one source, and external link to a website that is currently giving me an error.

Rice in Tibet? Yes, as a matter of fact.
