Wikipedia:No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spider-Man

There is no Cabal

How to get blocked on Wikipedia, as depicted by Spider-Man.
Jimmy Wales demonstrates correct behaviour. Instead of climbing the Reichstag, he has gone up in the lift in the orthodox way, and he has wisely avoided dressing as Spider-Man. Even if he were involved in a content dispute at the time, he is clearly not making a frightful exhibition of himself.[nb 1]
See? Even the late Queen of England climbed a famous landmark to illustrate a point. Her actions were reviewed by the Arbitration Committee.

Sometimes even the coolest of editors become involved in content disputes. These may become heated, or degenerate into incivility, edit wars, and typically result in protection on the Wrong Version by a passing administrator. Where the issues are of paramount importance, editors may be tempted to climb the Reichstag building dressed as Spider-Man to promote their cause. This is not only strongly discouraged but a blockable offense, and climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spider-Man will result in a complete and utter block from editing Wikipedia. The Reichstag has taken enough bad debate to deserve another Spider-Man.[nb 2]
