Written text belongs to the reader, and they can't guess the intentions of the writer. A phrase like "My ban. Why?" will suggest the opposite to someone on the receiving end. Short, callous phrases one can easily spit out in a rage. You're all up in his face. You attack him, shift blame to him ("You could have been that help."). That's confrontational. Starting a rival wiki just because you get blocked can come across as petty.

There's no golden way to writing a "can I please get unblocked" message. I've seen good ones fail and bad ones succeed. But I would stress making this primarily about what you did, not what you plan to do or how you feel about it. Explain what you were doing with those redirects, how you messed up and how you were hoping to clean it up. Explain you hope you two can come to an agreement, and make sure you learn about it so you don't make the same mistakes again.

And change the title to something more friendly.
