Hi.

First and foremost, this is the sort of discussion that really should not be held here; the best thing to do is to use Special:Contact.

While in an ideal world the admin would, as you suggest, work with the community to make decisions about content, in practice that is not always possible. The Sherlock Holmes wiki does not appear to have a strong persistent community, so it falls more on the admin to make decisions about content inclusion. She is within her rights as an admin to do so.

While it is fair to say that you were civil in your discussion with her, you also continued to post to her talk page about Elementary after she had repeatedly asked you to stop and accept her decision about it. While I do not know for sure, I am willing to guess that this is why you were blocked.

I have asked her to reconsider the length of the block, but if she does agree to change it then you need to accept her decision about Elementary (and any other content issues) and try to work with her on things. Recent interactions with other people show she is open to suggestions (eg. to interwiki links to the content not on the wiki), so I think she is willing to listen to other people's ideas; but you also need to respect her point of view and not continue to argue endlessly.

At the end of the day, she is the admin on the wiki and has the right to maintain it as she wishes. If she does not do a good job then the likely result is that few people will edit the wiki. If you disagree with the scope of the wiki and/or cannot get along with her, then you are always welcome to create your own Sherlock Holmes wiki.
