With guidance from friends, I have learnedbeen myable lessonto learn valuable lessons on Wiki editing, and would lovenow like to getre-engage backas toa contributing,contributor with no hard feelings. Most of the issues arose whenmy side.
 
The main issues arose when
* I (or someone else) added substantial new content
* spent a long time over it
* another editor suddenly deleted it.
I become verbose* whenand I try to defend it.
I am aware I tend to become more verbose when this happens, it’s my academic background kicking in!

I willam also continuecommitted to work on reducing my word count, but if I don't add material that gets deleted it's not likely to be an issue.
 
It is not easy to know what to answer by way of the other points, the closing admin just said ''"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]. I will answer a few, please ask if there are more I need to reply to.
 
I will answer a few, please let me know if I need to answer more.
* I have never used Wikipedia for WP:PROMO. My Tune Smithy article in 2008 was cited to Sound on Sound similarly to other material in the topic area[https://www.google.com/search?q=site:en.wikipedia.org+%22sound+on+sound%22]. When I discovered [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest WP:COI] guidelines in 2011, I added a COI statement[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor#Declaration_of_interest].

*Summary:
{{quote|Recent discoveries on Mars, including recurring slope lineae, ground ice, and active gully formation, have been interpreted as indications for the transient presence of water. The potential for liquid water on Mars has profound implications for the habitability of the modern Mars environment. This session solicits papers that examine the evidence for habitable environments on Mars, present results about life in analogs to these environments, discuss hypotheses to explain the active processes, evaluate issues for planetary protection, and explore the implications for future explorations of Mars.}}
</ref>. The views I tried to express mostly came from NASA, as in this short (less than two minutes) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk-Ycp5llEI official NASA video], third on the main overview page for the NASA Office of Planetary Protection[https://planetaryprotection.nasa.gov/overview]. I accept the community decision.
 
If unblocked I will keep well away from the topic of Mars astrobiology. I have no intention of appealing the Buddhism appeal either. Most of this material is from years ago.
 
I didn't contribute many articles to Wikipedia, and our other wikis take up a lot of my time now.
The main thing I do here is error fixing, though other editors mainly notice the content creation.
* Examples of errors I've noticed since blocked, plus four that other editors requested I fix but I didn't notice this until after I was blocked[https://doomsdaydebunked.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor/Wikipedia_mistakes_or_omissions].
I spent most time error fixing, and this is what I want to return to do. Here are examples I've noticed since the block[https://doomsdaydebunked.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor/Wikipedia_mistakes_or_omissions], and including three[https://doomsdaydebunked.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor/Wikipedia_mistakes_or_omissions] that I offered to do and was told to go ahead, but sadly I didn't notice this until after I was blocked.
 
When I have time I may also return to my work on patrolingpatrolling proposals for deletion[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor#Patroling_proposals_for_deletion], and my work on microtonal music including the Microtonal Music project proposal "to do" list[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals/Microtonal_Music,_Tuning,_Temperaments_and_Scales#Examples_of_things_we_could_do]
 
Thank you for your time in considering this appeal.
