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:

Robertinventor (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Firstly, apologies for taking up so much of everyone’s time in the past. With guidance from friends, I have been able to learn valuable lessons on Wiki editing, and would now like to re-engage as a contributor with no hard feelings my 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.
  • and I try to defend it

I am aware I tend to become more verbose when I try to defend myself, it’s my academic background kicking in!

As per WP:OTHERWIKIS we have made new wikis to host the deleted content, Dorje108's Encyclopedia of Buddhism[1], and my new Encyclopedia of Astrobiology[2]. They take up a lot of my time now.

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:

  • Seek co-editors also keen on the project, with diverse views. .
  • They will help with encyclopedic tone, notability, reliable sources and WP:NPOV.

This will ensure the material is suitable for Wikipedia before I start, and at every stage along the way.

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 WP:POV or intentionally WP:OR. 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]. I accept the community decision that this WP:POV should not be covered in Wikipedia.

My article creation was rare, one or two a year. I spent most of my time error fixing and wish to be unblocked to continue this.

Here are examples of errors I've noticed since being blocked. It also includes four fixes that I offered to do and other editors asked me to go ahead, 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.

Notes:

  • In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
  • Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

    • Theme: Solar System Sites
    • Session: Mars
    • Subsession: Habitability
    • Topic: Modern Mars Habitability
    • Summary:

    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.
