User:Robertinventor/Unblock appeal2
This is a draft for an appeal for my indef block in Wikipedia
Unblock request
Robertinventor (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Most of the issues raised were in a situation where I or another author added substantial new content, spent a long time over it, and another editor suddenly deleted it or nominated it for deletion, with no prior discussion or involvement in the editing. I am verbose when I try to get deleted material restored, or defend it from deletion.
All this deleted material is now in other Wikis, such as Dorje108's Encyclopedia of Buddhism[1], and my new Encyclopedia of Astrobiology[2].
My plan if unblocked is to do most of my substantial editing in my own wikis. If I do anything like that here, I will endeavour to find support of co-editors with diverse views first. I also recommend this to friends. Co-editors will also help with gray area issues of encyclopedic tone, notability, reliable sources and WP:NPOV.
I will also continue to work on reducing my word count in talk page conversations, but if I avoid the situation where I defend material from deletion it's not likely to be an issue.
It is not easy to know what to answer by way of the other points, because there was no consensus and the closing admin just said "Closing with a consensus towards an indef block, plus my own admin judgment in that direction"[3]
I have never used Wikipedia for WP:PROMO. I added the Tune Smithy article because it was cited to Sound on Sound similarly to other material in the topic area, before I discovered guidelines on Conflict of Interest. When I discovered those guidelines I did a CoI statement. Other editors were not aware that the Wikipedia license permits me to use its content in a kindle booklet (only a couple of sentences of deleted material).
They were also unaware that CC by SA permits dual licensing, so that as author, I can release the same content here under CC by SA and in my book under a non free license.
I have never put my own views into Wikipedia. What other editors thought were my views were the views of NASA summarized to the best of my ability. To check this, watch this short (less than two minutes) official NASA video, third on the main overview page for the NASA Office of Planetary Protection[4]. I was endeavouring to express their views not mine.
If unblocked I will keep well away from the topic of Mars astrobiology and have no intention of appealing the Buddhism appeal. I did add a fringe medicine article back in 2015, but I followed all the guidelines for such articles, Wikipedia of course does cover fringe medicine, and they are not required to comply with WP:MEDRS, see for example Chronic Lyme disease.
I have added content that was mistaken, however that is permitted under WP:BOLD. I am currently topic banned from the Buddhism topic area and having failed my topic ban appeal have no intention of trying again.
If you unblock me then I will be editing in my own wikis most of the time but I can usefully help Wikipedia fixing errors in the articles.Notes:
