Revision as of 15:56, 25 April 2019
This is a draft for an appeal for my indef block in Wikipedia
Unblock request
This blocked user is asking that his block be reviewed:
Firstly, apologies for taking up so much of everyone’s time in the past. With guidance from friends and by contemplating what happened, I have been able to learn valuable lessons that should prevent these issues arising in future, as well as help with talk page discussions, and would now like to re-engage as a contributor with no hard feelings my side.
I realize that most of the 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 when I try to defend it.
I am aware I tend to become verbose when I try to defend myself, it’s my academic background kicking in!
This deleted material has now found a rightful home in other Wikis[1][2] and I promise not to reinstate it here.
If unblocked I aim to focus mainly on fixing errors.
I will
do most substantial editing in my own wikis.
In Wikipedia, if I do this at all, I will:
Endeavour to find a consensus with co-editors with diverse views first. .
They will help with encyclopedic tone, notability, reliable sources and WP:NPOV.
This will ensure the material is suitable for Wikipedia.
I am also committed to reducing my word count.
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"[3].
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[4]. When I discovered WP:COI guidelines in 2011, I added a COI statement[5].
Commercial use - Wikipedia's license[6] permits this. Only a couple of sentences in my 2015 booklet were by other editors anyway[7].
Non free content - Wikipedia's license permits dual licensing[8][1]: CC by SA here, all rights reserved in my 2017 book[9].
None of the material was my own POV. The title of the deleted article came from an astrobiology conference sub session[2]. The views I tried to express mostly came from NASA, as in this short (less than two minutes) official NASA video, third on the main overview page for the NASA Office of Planetary Protection[10].
Most of this material is from years ago, and I have only added substantial content on rare occasions.
The main thing I do in Wikipedia is error fixing.
Here are examples of errors I've noticed since being blocked, plus four suggested fixes that other editors have suggested I do but sadly didn't notice this until after I was blocked[11].
When I have time I may also return to my work on patrolling proposals for deletion[12], and my work on microtonal music including the Microtonal Music project proposal "to do" list[13]
Thank you for your time in considering this appeal.

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.
