Unblock request

 
This blocked user is asking that his block be reviewed:

Robertinventor (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (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.

As per WP:OTHERWIKIS the deleted content is now in other wikis or blogs

  • Astrobiology [1]
  • Buddhism [2] (content originally written by Dorje108)
  • Tune Smithy [3]
  • Clathrate Gun Hypothesis [4]
  • Morgellons [5]).

I accept the consensus decision to delete this material from Wikipedia. I am also committed to reducing my word count.

I have a ten year history of Wikignoming with no issues.

Only a couple of points discussed relate to wikignoming:

  • Made a minor mistake in Perigean tides.[6]. 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 in the debate originated in Black hole [7](1,859 watchers[8] and a Good article[9]) where it was immediately reviewed by WolfmanSF[10]. It is still there[11] as are the other two I mentioned [12][13][14][15].

Note, previously I was the main editor of Planetary protection (69.3% mine, check with WhoColor[16]). However, if unblocked, I will not return because of connection with deleted material[17][18] but edit my copy[19].

I ask to be unblocked to return to error fixing[20] which I did most weeks as volunteer editor for Wikipedia.

I may eventually return to content creation, perhaps microtonal[21]. 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 and Wikinews where I collaborate with other editors for substantive content[22][23].

There seems to have been a fair bit of confusion in the discussion, so for clarity:

  • I have never used Wikipedia for WP:PROMO. I used a cite often used for notability in the topic area.
  • I do use a few sentences from Wikipedia in a kindle booklet but this is permitted under CC by SA
  • I did not add my own views to Wikipedia, but summarized the cites in good faith.
  • I did add an article on fringe medicine, but followed the guidelines in WP:FRINGE for such articles
  • I did not copy blog posts into Wikipedia, instead I copied deleted material and drafts into my blog
  • I did use material that I added to Wikipedia in my 2017 kindle and online book under "all rights reserved" however you may not be aware that Wikipedia's content license permits dual licensing

If you feel I need to answer these or any other points in more detail, can I ask you to please wait for my response first before making any decisions, thanks.

Thank you for your time in considering this appeal.
