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[1][2][3][4][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. The main cite for Tune Smithy, Sound on Sound, is often used for notability in this topic area.
  • I included a few sentences from a deleted section in a kindle booklet under CC by SA
  • The deleted article on Modern Mars Habitability summarized the cites in good faith and did not present my views. Its title came from an astrobiology sub-session title[1] .
  • The article on fringe medicine followed the guidelines in WP:FRINGE for such articles
  • I copied deleted material and drafts into my blog rather than the other way round.
  • I used the same material in Wikipedia under CC by SA and in my online book under "all rights reserved" however Wikipedia's content license permits this form of 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.

  1. ↑ Session Topics - ArbSciCon 2017:
    • Theme: Solar System Sites
    • Session: Mars
    • Subsession: Habitability
    • Topic: Modern Mars Habitability
    • Summary:

    "Recent discoveries on Mars, including recurring slope lineae, ground ice, and active gully formation, have been interpreted as indications for the transient presence of water. The potential for liquid water on Mars has profound implications for the habitability of the modern Mars environment. This session solicits papers that examine the evidence for habitable environments on Mars, present results about life in analogs to these environments, discuss hypotheses to explain the active processes, evaluate issues for planetary protection, and explore the implications for future explorations of Mars."
