Hello. I don't doubt your dedication to this wiki, and if you had the full support of the community there as well as the admin I'd be more inclined to overlook the block.

Likewise the block itself would not be an issue if your behavior had not been inappropriate. I understand that you were provoked, but part of being an admin is having the maturity or restraint not to respond in kind to trolls and vandals.

In combination I cannot approve the request at this time.

However I believe most of the community concerns were that you were had not been back long on the wiki. I generally give little weight to blocks that are older than 6 months or a year (depending on the block) when there have been no further issues on other wikis. So in both cases the solution is simply time. Keep working on the wiki, win over the community, and ask again next winter when the block is further in the past as well.

Or... convince somebody else to ask for bureaucrat rights, and then they can promote you sooner.
