I am aware I tend to become more verbose when this happens, it’s my academic background kicking in!

My plan is to 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.

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.

I have done minor edits with an article mainly written by another editor in this way[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:David_Meade_(author)]. This 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.

I have potential microtonal collaborators amongst voters for my proposed project[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor#Microtonal_Music,_Tuning,_Temperaments_and_Scales_project_proposal]


As per [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Why_was_the_page_I_created_deleted%3F#If_all_else_fails,_try_another_wiki WP:OTHERWIKIS] the deleted content is in other wikis or blogs. I accept the consensus decision to delete it here.

Only a couple of points in the discussion relate to wikignoming.
Only one contributoer to the discussion mentioned wikignoming.


* '''''Made a minor mistake in Perigean tides'''''.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Perigean_spring_tide#Confusing_first_paragraph]. I agree with the comment there. However [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Be_bold WP:BOLD] says ''"Think about it this way: if you don't find one of your edits being reverted now and then, perhaps you're not being bold enough"''.
* '''''Yes, I made a minor mistake in Perigean tides'''''.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Perigean_spring_tide#Confusing_first_paragraph].

In the year before the block, I fixed over 90 articles[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20180731235959&limit=500&contribs=user&target=Robertinventor&namespace=0&tagfilter=&start=&end=2018-07-31], with only 2 reverts[https://encyclopediaofastrobiology.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor/Wikipedia_minor_fixes_examples#Articles_to_fix]. I have a ten year history of Wikignoming with no issues raised before the indef block.

The other minor edit discussed originated in Black hole. It caused no problems there. It has [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Black_hole&diff=prev&oldid=852417737](1,859 watchers[https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/Black_hole] and a Good article[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Black_hole&oldid=382081986]) where it was immediately reviewed by WolfmanSF[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Black_hole&type=revision&diff=852426575&oldid=852418871]. It is still there[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole#cite_ref-Frautschi1982_139-0] as are the other two I mentioned [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stellar_population&type=revision&diff=844844779&oldid=844322513][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Megatsunami&type=revision&diff=848088930&oldid=843120593][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megatsunami#cite_ref-MegatsunamiStudyFlawed_23-0][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_population#cite_ref-21].

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.
