: If you can post here, you haven't been blocked; your edit was removed because Wikipedia doesn't try to predict current events before they happen.  When/if the mayor is replaced by the other candidate, then the article should be updated.  If you do get actually blocked from editing articles, it might be because it appears that you have an AOL IP address and other anonymous users might be vandalizing Wikipedia articles from the same IP.  In that case, you should probably create an account so you won't have to worry about that again. —
