* '''''Made a minor mistake in Perigean tides'''''.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Perigean_spring_tide#Confusing_first_paragraph]. 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"''.
 
The other minor edit discussed in the debate originated in Black hole [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 minor edits 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] and many others I have contributed over the years.
 
I ask to be unblocked to return to error fixing[https://doomsdaydebunked.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor/Wikipedia_mistakes_or_omissions] which I did most weeks as volunteer editor for Wikipedia. Here are some that I have noticed since I was indef blocked: [https://doomsdaydebunked.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor/Wikipedia_mistakes_or_omissions].
 
I may eventually return to content creation, perhaps microtonal[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor#Microtonal_Music,_Tuning,_Temperaments_and_Scales_project_proposal]. If so, my plan is to seek collaborators from the start, for encyclopedic tone, WP:RS, WP:NPOV etc. However for now that's for other wikis andincluding my own. Also for Wikinews, where I collaborate with other editors forwith substantiveoccasional contentarticles[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:NASA%27s_InSight_Lander_makes_it_to_Mars] and contributed one major article, an original reporting "scoop"[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]I. What I learn there is likely to help if I do return to content creation here.
 
There seems to have been a fair bit of confusion in the discussion, so I would like to respond to themsome of the main points for clarity, but it is collapsed as you may not need to assess them.
