User:Robertinventor/Unblock appeal: Difference between revisions

Most of the issues that lead to the indef blockraised were in a situation where

* I or someone else as sole author spent a long time adding content to Wikipedia, following the guidelines to the best of our ability.

The problems arose when I tried to get this contentit restored or defended it from deletion.

It is rare that I add new articles. My article creation list has only one other in the two years before the sanction debatepreviously; the rest are redirects [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=50&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=Robertinventor&namespace=0&tagfilter=&newOnly=1&start=2015-08-01&end=2017-08-31].

If I only answer correct charges, that's my complete appeal. However sadly there were many mistaken points. The puzzle is, which of them am I expected to answer? The closing admin just wrote: ''"Closing with a consensus towards an indef block, plus my own admin judgment in that direction"''[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=855723651#User:Robertinventor,_again]. Though there was a consensus to block me in the sanction debate, there was no clear consensus about what I was sanctioned for.

I will answer the top three charges briefly. I give the dates because most of this happened long before the sanction debate in (August 2018). Only the Buddhism topic ban appeal and my attempt to defend the Mars astrobiology article from deletion were new.

Please don't use Wikipedia as your only source. For another perspective watch this short (less than two minutes) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk-Ycp5llEI official NASA video] and listen to what their planetary protection officer says about Mars organisms. ThatIt's the third video on the main overview page for the NASA Office of Planetary Protection[https://planetaryprotection.nasa.gov/overview]. I defended it from deletion not because I wrote it, but in an attempt to prevent complete removal from Wikipedia of theseNASA's views of NASA on extant Martian life.
