Unblock request

This blocked user is asking that his block be reviewed:

Robertinventor (block logactive blocksglobal blocksautoblockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (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. I would now like to re-engage, mainly as a wikignome, with no hard feelings on my side.

The main issues arose when

  • I authored substantial new content by myself (Or Dorje108 did, for Buddhism)
  • 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 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 again similarly to WikiNews.

I have already worked on an article with another editor here in this way[5]. This was eventually passed as a Good article[6] which retains all the cites I added.

I can probably find microtonal collaborators[7]

As per WP:OTHERWIKIS the deleted content is in other wikis or blogs. I accept the consensus decision to delete it here.

I am also committed to reducing my word count.

The closing admin didn't pick out any particular points[8]. In the discussion, only a couple of points relate to wikignoming:

  • Made a minor mistake in Perigean tides.[9]. However 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".

The other minor edit discussed originated in Black hole [10](1,859 watchers[11] and a Good article[12]) where it was immediately reviewed by WolfmanSF[13]. It is still there[14] as are the other two I mentioned [15][16][17][18].

I have always been a good faith editor. The deleted article was my best attempt to present views of others, not myself, e.g. dinner plate quote is of NASA's planetary protection officer[19], and eutectics section describes work of Toner et al[20], which I forgot to cite in three sections. I have always done the very best I can to improve Wikipedia and never include my own work, rather, I remove cites[21].

Note, I was the main editor of Planetary protection (68.8% mine, check with WhoColor[22]). However, if unblocked, I will not even add cites to an uncited section[23] because of connection with deleted material[24], but edit my copy[25].

I ask to be unblocked to return to minor edits[26] which I did most weeks as volunteer editor for Wikipedia. I have a good track record. In the year before the block, I fixed over 90 articles[27], with only 2 reverts[28]. I have a ten year history of Wikignoming with no issues ever raised with any of it before the indef block.

Thank you for your time in considering this appeal.
