My admin policy: If you believe that an admin action of mine is clearly and obviously wrong, such that no reasonable admin, fully aware of all the relevant circumstances, would have done it, you may revert it without discussing it with me in advance, as long as you notify me afterwards. In all other cases, please discuss with me first before reverting it.
Reason: Per WP:MILMOS#NOTE, only recipients of the highest national award (in this case the Medal of Honor) are automatically notable; I'm unable to find any reliable sources on this subject other than the citation.
Your admin policy says that I may undo your block if it is "clearly wrong." Your block of me is "clearly wrong" to any reasonable Admin. But I do not have the means to undo it because of the way you implemented it. Please either undo your block of my personal IP address 108.20.219.169, or make an exemption, or allow me to talk to other Admins. Finally, I seek a formal accusation and a hearing in a Wikipedia setting so that I can defend myself fully -- your actions have disallowed me to even seek others' help.

108.20.219.169 is not blocked. And you are not blocked, either. The fact that you can edit this page is proof of that. T. Canens (talk) 17:42, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
I would like to file a formal complaint about how you treated me during this episode. I think you deserve to be thrown off as an Administrator -- you lorded it over me, didn't explain your rationales, and even your response here is jkust more of the same -- you should NOT be an "administrator" with that attitude! I want to apply to be an administrator myself, so I can resolve issues that people like you create. How do you want to proceed? I will lead the process if you won't -- but I'm sure you are more familiar with this process than I am! JesseAlanGordon (talk) 00:10, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
Here is my letter to info-en-o@wikimedia.org lodging a formal complaint against you. If you accept a {trout}-slap and declare me innocent of wrongdoing, and admit that you were over-zealous and impetuous in your responses to me (you assumed I had ill-intent, which is against a Wikipedia pillar!) -- if you do that, I'll leave you out of it personally -- otherwise I think you're a fine example of "overzealous deletionist" and I will fight to become an Administrator myself to take on people like you, citing you as my "mentor" forever. I note that you did NOT leave ME out of it personally in your crazed battle against Amazon (or whatever the heck you are fighting -- you never explained, impetuous over-zealot that you are!)

I edit Wikipedia as JesseAlanGordon and I would like to begin a dispute resolution process against Timotheus Canens. Here is a bit of our exchange -- it went on for days with him blocking me and then mocking me for not knowing the technical details of how blocks worked. At issue is that I was innocent of any wrongdoing, and Canens just didn't care -- he had some agenda against some group, and I was an innocent bystander victim. I don't think people like that should be administrators. I think people like me SHOULD be administrators. I want to be able to fight off people like Canens next time I am attacked, or next time I see someone like me being attacked. How does one go about becoming an administrator? I have been a Wikipedian for several years on this account, and several years prior to that also, so I think I'm ready and eligible. I would like also to propose an "anti-award" called "Overzealous Deletionist" to counterbalance Carens' many "awards" like "Wiki Defender" and whatnot. I have learned an important lesson about internal Wikipedia politics by encountering Canens -- I was personally attacked by a deletionist hell-bent on blocking as many people as he could -- and it would be better if I had some warning, like seeing a "deletionist" accusation on his "awards" page. I have encountered the overzealous deletionists before and I want to fight them. I feel I cannot fight them equally as just an editor -- I need tools to fight them. Last year, after losing my first struggle with the deletionists, I switched to editing Ballotpedia instead of Wikipedia. Alternatives like Ballotpedia exist because of deletionists like Carens -- but if enough people like me stick with Wikipedia, we can fight off the deletionists or at least achieve some sort of balance with them. Thank you for reading. In summary, how do I:
Begin a dispute resolution against an administrator who acted as an overzealous deletionist
Become an administrator (obviously I am an "inclusionist" but my interest is in inclusion in American electoral politics)
Invent some sort of negative branding system so that others can be warned against overzealous deletionists.
