Silverback,
If you want someone on this mailing list to do something about it, you'll have to explain why the block is not warranted - in other words, why the block reason that whoever blocked you is given is incorrect in each point mentioned.
The reason you have to explain why you have not done the things you are supposedly blocked for is that admins tend to trust each other's judgments and are reluctant to get involved in cases where they are unfamiliar with the circumstances.
If you can provide me with reasoning, supported by links to diffs on Wikipedia which I can validate your reasoning against, and if the people who are 'opposed' to you in this dispute do not respond adequately, in my opinion, to your comments, I will unblock you (and talk to the other people involved in the dispute about it).
Fair enough, here are the reasons given for the block:
(reverts incessantly, removing information from his RfC , has been attacking 172 a lot lately, hasn't been too civil, hopefully this block will turn him around.)
Firt of the alleged incivility and attacks are what the RfC is supposed about, and those are in the past. There was not any of that today. So Redwolf24 is preempting the process and the community. The merits of those RfC allegations are themselves in doubt, because they aren't the usual "namecalling", but are actually alleged abuses and POV warrioring type of allegations that are perfectly permissable on an RfC. I happen to confront people with them outside an RfC, so I think there is some question whether the community will consider them "personal attacks", in addition 172 takes some things personally that weren't even referring to him at all.
The reverts and the removing info from the RfC are related to 172s changing allegations in the certified section that I had already responded to. In fact he was responding to my responses, but making them look like they were his initial allegations. I discussed this thoroughly on the talk page, and in edit summaries, and on the 3RR page and on the vandalism in progress page and I think there is a good case that this is vandalism, or at least something so unfair that the community will decide it should not be part of the process. Vandalism that changes the meaning of things in ways that might decieve people is considered "severe"
I was being bold, yes, but at the same time being reasonable, because I allowed in Lulu's elaboration of a point I hadn't responded to yet, and I informed 172 that I had no problem with him put his responses to my edits into the RfC, just not undermining my responses, or deleting what his initial charges were. Note that I am being called the "subject" of this RfC.
I think that addresses Redwolf24s stated reasons. Note that he has actually authored one of the sections of the RfC. Note also these four edits in a row from 172s contributions:

Redwolf 24 is involved in ways that he shouldn't be if he is going to be the admin taking action on this. -- Silverback
