APPEALING MY BLOCK
[edit]I understand the rule that I'm alleged to have broken. I can't stress enough that my words were taken literally when they should not have been. I am neither representing a group, nor allowing anyone else to use my account.
When I first registered with wikipedia, i read the guidelines for user-pages carefully. I though that I would be able to say non-empirical things on my user page, and I guess I pushed the line. I never expected someone to read it that was outside of my particular field of interest -- had an admin who was familiar with my particular interests seen my page, they would have understood that my page an explicit joke about post-structural ontology.
If you'd like to explore more about post-structural ontology, please see the first chapter of A Thousand Plateaus > http://books.google.com/books/about/A_thousand_plateaus.html?id=B9xLrS6mpGoC
If you don't want to read that chapter, check out the diagrams on this page: http://www.bumblenut.com/drawing/art/plateaus/index.shtml
There are two possible reasons why the admin who blocked me would be correct: 1. It is a user account shared by more than one person, or 2. It is a user account USED by one person, but to represent a group of people.
I can honestly say that neither of these possibilities are true. What is the process for proving this?
"User accounts can only represent individuals. Sharing an account – or the password to an account – with others is not permitted, and doing so will result in the account being blocked."
-- I have not broken this rule.
"Accounts that purport to represent an entire group or company are not permitted no matter the name;"
-- Ok, on one hand, I can understand this. (had I seen that before, I would not have written my userpage the way I did). BUT, in my defense, there is no actual group called "ahwoooga", it has never existed. It is my personal email address and handle.
Therefore, I ask that any admin reflect on the following entry from the guide to appealing blocks:
"Wikipedia blocks are usually warnings only, and once over and learned from, unless repeated, they are in the past. Wikipedia and its administrators and arbitration committee have a real wish for everyone who is capable of acting responsibly to be able to enjoy editing."
In that spirit, I will happily change the wording on my userpage to be clearer: this account represents an individual (me), not a group. Please see that this is a case of mistaken encroachment on a rule of which i was not aware. Similarly, it is a case of misunderstanding (the problem exists only if we assume conditions exist that actually don't). I
I'm working on getting a reputable person to vouch for me from this group, to which i belong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Philosophy/Anarchism
Please reconsider the block denial (or, at least describe what I would have to do to prove it)
Okay
[edit]I've unblocked you. Please modify your userpage to more clearly indicate that you are a single individual and that the 'collective' is metaphorical.

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kiarina Kordela, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Foucault (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
