[WikiEN-l] Unexisting Wiki policy is enforced?

Tue Jan 17 19:07:27 UTC 2006

I would like to know if it's possible for editors on
Wiki to be blocked for things that are not covered in
the policy of Wikipedia. This is what has happened to
me. I was blocked for displaying a photo on my
userpage. The photo in question was of another user
and was in "good standing". I was given an ultimatum
to remove the photo or be blocked. I argued that I had
the right to display the photo on my userpage and that
there was nothing in the policy that disallowed me
from doing so. I also argued that the user in question
agreed to release the photo under GDU at the time when
they uploaded the photo.

FeloniousMonk blocked me for 24-hours for harassment
and disruption. I don't see how I did any of that by
having the photo displayed on my userpage. Nowhere in
your policy does it say that we can disrupt by having
a photo in "good standing" displayed on our userpage.
I would like to know whether I am in the wrong, and if
so, why; and I would like to be unblocked. Thank you.

Anittas.
