This page in a nutshell:

Calm down. Think rationally
Read the rules and understand them
Lay out your objections in a clear, short, and concise manner on their talk page
Understand and accept that you can be wrong

You probably got sent to this page because someone didn't want to type out a guide to challenging administrators and established editors on Wikipedia. This is not an insult. They could have just been mean to you but instead they are trying to help you out!

First you need to stop what you are doing. Ignoring other people's warnings and advice will make most people give you up for a lost cause. THEN YOU GET ~~CANNED~~ BANNED. That's BAD.

Please select from one of the following sections. Just pick the one closest to your issue =)

Administrator wrongly deleted a page

STOP Do NOT recreate the page yet! Otherwise people will be pissed that you're ignoring the rules/procedures!

There are a lot of rules that govern what CAN and CANNOT be included in Wikipedia. You would be best to READ them, ALL of them. Wikipedia is has datacenters full of servers and experts manning them. Wikipedia will still be here in 15 minutes!
