Thank you for your time in considering this appeal.
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. I would now like to re-engage, mainly as a wikignome, with no hard feelings on my side.
Most of the issues arose when
I authored substantial new content by myself
another editor (not a collaborator) suddenly deleted it or nominated it.
and I posted to talk pages to try to get it restored or kept. Note, I never edit war. Just talk.
I am aware I tend to become more verbose when this happens, it’s my academic background kicking in!
My plan is to avoid that situation for the future. I am also committed to reducing my word count. I will do minor edits and corrections for six months. After that, to do any major content with collaborators from the start. I already do this on Wikinews[1][2][3][4]. After completing it together we'd submit it for review as a Good Article, similarly to WikiNews. Also similarly to this article where I contributed mionr edits [5] and it was eventually passed as a Good article[6] which retains all the cites I added.
As per WP:OTHERWIKIS the deleted content is in other wikis or blogs. I accept the consensus decision to delete it here.

I have always been a good faith editor. The deleted article was my best attempt to present views of others, not myself, e.g. ''"one giant dinner plate for Earth organisms"'' quotes NASA's planetary protection officer[http://deletionpedia.org/en/Modern_Mars_habitability#cite_ref-32], and the eutectics section describes work of Toner et al[http://deletionpedia.org/en/Modern_Mars_habitability#cite_ref-TonerCatling2014_29-1], which I forgot to cite in the previous sections.
I accept the community decision to delete this material. I just want to affirm good faith. I have always done the very best I can to improve Wikipedia. Rather than cite myself here, I remove cites[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=820822757].
Note, I was main editor of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_protection Planetary protection] (68.8% mine, check with WhoColor[https://f-squared.org/whovisual/]). However, if unblocked, I will not even do minor edits because of connection with deleted material[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_protection#Mars_special_regions][https://encyclopediaofastrobiology.org/wiki/Planetary_protection#Mars_special_regions], but edit my copy[https://encyclopediaofastrobiology.org/wiki/Planetary_protection#Mars_special_regions].
I ask to be unblocked to return to minor edits[https://encyclopediaofastrobiology.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor/Wikipedia_minor_fixes_examples] which is what I worked on most weeks as volunteer editor for Wikipedia.

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting accept reason here with your rationale:
{{unblock reviewed | 1=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. I would now like to re-engage, mainly as a wikignome, with no hard feelings on my side.
Most of the issues arose when
* I authored substantial new content by myself
* another editor (not a collaborator) suddenly deleted it or nominated it.
* and I posted to talk pages to try to get it restored or kept. Note, I never edit war. Just talk.
I am aware I tend to become more verbose when this happens, it’s my academic background kicking in!
My plan is to avoid that situation for the future. I am also committed to reducing my word count. I will do minor edits and corrections for six months. After that, to do any major content with collaborators from the start. I already do this on Wikinews[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:NASA%27s_InSight_Lander_makes_it_to_Mars][https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Mysterious_dimming_of_Tabby%27s_star_likely_due_to_space_dust,_not_alien_superstructures,_say_scientists][https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Simple_animals_could_live_in_Martian_brines:_Wikinews_interviews_planetary_scientist_Vlada_Stamenkovi%C4%87#Review_of_revision_4457552_%5BPassed%5D][https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Sun%27s_mood_swings_not_so_strange_after_all,_say_scientists]. After completing it together we'd submit it for review as a Good Article, similarly to WikiNews. Also similarly to this article where I contributed mionr edits [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:David_Meade_(author)] and it was eventually passed as a Good article[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Meade_(author)&diff=prev&oldid=830640681] which retains all the cites I added.
