Hi! I was blocked severely and unfairly by user RickK. I need to be unblocked. He also blocked my father, because there was some name changing war between them.
I dont think of RickK as an administrator, rather he thinks he is a DICtator, which is a shame because I share a lot of respect for all wikipedians, and wonderful friendships with some of them. RickK , as far as I know, didnt even bring the subject of blocking us to Village Pump or other discussion fields before blocking us. Administrative abuse of powers, maybe?
I need to be unblocked so that I can return to be a good wikipedia contributor, as does my dad, user Marine 69-71.
Thank you and Godbless!
Sincerely yours, User:AntonioMartin
Hi! I was blocked severely
Actually, all blocks are equal in intensity.
and unfairly by user RickK. I need to be unblocked. He also blocked my father, because there was some name changing war between them. I dont think of RickK as an administrator, rather he thinks he is a DICtator, which is a shame because I share a lot of respect for all wikipedians, and wonderful friendships with some of them.
I will note that others have agreed with you in the past.
RickK , as far as I know, didnt even bring the subject of blocking us to Village Pump or other discussion fields before blocking us. Administrative abuse of powers, maybe?
Blocking of individual users such as this block is not a usual topic of the Village Pump. Current policy, furthermore, does *not* _require_ any such notice or discussion of blocks. Where would you have him take this discussion?
I DID NOT block Antonio. I DID block Marine 69-71 last night after REPEATEDLY asking him on his talk page to stop creating a duplicate article at [[Joaquin Phoenix (Actor)]] and to work on the article at [[Joaquin Phoenix]]. He kept reverting my redirect and re-adding duplicate and POV material and refused to respond to my requests to stop.

Then you move on to the next step of the dispute resolution process. What policy did Marine break that warranted a block?

How? It certainly is not the type of obvious vandalism that policy allows admins to block. Just saying something is 'vandalism' is also ad-hominem.
Not responding to user talk page requests may be very annoying, but I'm not aware of that being against policy (might be a good idea though). Not to mention a policy that would allow an admin to block a non-vandal user over.
Having the power to block other users also makes your meta actions open to question by the community. Insulting those who comment on your actions is therefore not called for (thinking of your response to Jimbo's comment).
