Hi. Yes, I understand how frustrating it is to "lose" your work like that, and it is an unfortunate part of this situation. However, the articles are not lost, but can generally only be seen/restored by an admin. She might be willing to do this for you if you ask, or if she does not know how I can undelete them briefly.

If you are willing to work on non-Elementary articles she has said she would shorten the block. But if you are not going to be able to resist arguing about it, then she probably will just block you again.

Lots of things on wikis are not explicitly stated, but exist as "rules" in the heads of long-term contributors (whether admins or non-admins). And really, even when they are written down most new contributors are not likely to see them. On a lot of wikis users who break those rules are blocked immediately; in this case the admin tried to explain the guidelines to you several times and only blocked you when you refused to accept them.

As for what makes Elementary different from the Guy Richie films I have no idea as I've never seen either; the scope of a wiki means different things to different people and that will always be true. Even if I did know, it's not my decision about the content that belongs on that wiki,
