{{Unblock|I have asked responsible members of the English Wikipedia Community to review the circumstances under which I was indefinitely blocked on 9/11 of last year, in the wake of a questionable [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Moulton|RfC]] filed by the editors of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_intelligent_design#Participants|WikiProject on Intelligent Design]]. (Note: I have ''not'' requested that the block be lifted for the purpose of editing mainspace articles in the English Wikipedia. Rather I have requested that the [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Moulton|RfC]] and subsequent block(s) by members of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_intelligent_design#Participants|WikiProject on Intelligent Design]] be reviewed to determine if the proceedings and actions taken conformed to the normative practices of the English Wikipedia.) The requested review began on 15 May of this year at [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Moulton|WP:AN/Moulton]] and is ongoing.}} |
