I asked people kindly to stay off my thread unless you had something nice and law related to say. You get pleasure from humiliating people, please seek counseling. And unless you have something law related to contribute then don't say anything.

You're misunderstanding the page you cited. The father's rights need to have been terminated AND there needs to be a court order to remove him from the birth certificate. This has not happened in your situation, and it's not going to.
Now you're trolling.
Your father doesn't have any "rights" to you any more. You're a legal adult, neither he nor your mother have any authority over you at all. He doesn't have any "voluntary rights" to surrender - that would have had to have happened while you were still a minor, and even then, it would not get him off your birth certificate. That's the reality of the situation, whether it pleases you or not. Texas' "extenuating circumstances" have nothing to do with you - your birth certificate was issued by the state of Wisconsin, and birth certificate laws vary from state to state.
"Thousands of signatures on a petition" will not help you. The voters in the state of Wisconsin have many more important things to concern themselves with than whether or not someone irrationally angry that his father is on his birth certificate can have him removed.
I mentioned Texas, not because I think their laws have anything to do with mine, but because I thought there might be a similar law in Wisconsin. Do you know if there is for something for me to go off of or are you just going to keep shooting it down not knowing what the particular laws are for that state?
Anyway, I have not been able to find any law which dictates that a parents rights as a parent cannot be terminated after the fact. If there is such a thing, or a loop hole, I don't know, I'm just trying to find it.
Furthermore, I've been told that getting adopted as an adult (any adult may adopt any adult in Wisconsin) then that may be able to get it removed. I do have a potential adopter, very willing. All I want is the bio dad gone.
And the petition thing was just an idea. There are lots of petitions out there, some succeed, some don't. Hey, it's a thought. Okay?

Ask all you wish.
Your wishes may not be granted.
I'm sorry you don't like what you've been told so far.

So go with the adult adoption - if it's possible in your state.
Talk to your attorney.
I believe this was suggested several posts ago. But realize that if you do have an adult willing to adopt, you cannot remove HIM, either.

I would strongly caution this OP from paying an attorney (particularly the one who apparently either misunderstood what s/he was being asked, or outright misled the OP) lots of money to tell him/her what s/he wants to hear, and then embark on a costly (and non-refundable) exercise in futility.
OP may be surprised to learn that many regular citizens actually believe it's best (for various reasons) to have both legal parents remain on the birth certificate.
I understand. It doesn't change the fact of what I am trying to do. If getting someone else in replace of him on there (adoption) will do the trick, then that is world's better than having a reminder of my bio-dad on there. If that's the only way, then so be it.

Do you realize that this wouldn't remove your father's name from the registry of your birth and in fact might not remove his name at all from your birth certificate?
This is why you need an attorney.
And seriously - some counselling.

Yea, I know. Still better than the current option. Mind me asking where it states that, exactly, or where I might look for something that states that? I have been trying to find it. Thanks.

Yea, I do not know what entirely it will do. I'll ask an attorney tomorrow. Regardless, any idea where I might be able to find out (legal documents?).
Re: Remove Bio Father from My Birth Certificate
Something that states what exactly? I'm honestly trying to help you - but you're not making this easy.

Yes, I understand. Thank you. I meant, maybe, what documents to scroll. I can't seem to find much on the adult adoption topic other than that it's legal and who can do it. But not how it affects your birth certificate and what not.
Re: Remove Bio Father from My Birth Certificate
The thing about adoption - whether it's adult or minor - is that even if the birth certificate is changed (and that won't happen in every state - you'll have to check yours in the morning) the actual registration of the birth will not change in the vast majority of states. The natural parents will remain noted somewhere.
The other thing is that if you go ahead with an adult adoption, you can't afterwards easily remove him as your father. Adoption is meant to be permanent. This will be your new parent. Your new father. Are you prepared for the emotional impact of that?
