<nowiki></nowiki>{{unblock|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.
 
I hope nobody doubts that I am a good faith editor. The deleted article was a good faith 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. Rather than cite myself here, I remove cites[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=820822757].▼
I am a good faith editor, always have been, and want to find a way to return to Wikipedia editing.
▲The deleted article was a good faith attempt to present views of others, not myself. E.g.

Rather than cite myself here, I remove cites[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=820822757].
 
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. I will be avoiding all the topic areas in which may content was previously deleted.
Line 10 ⟶ 9:
About half the articles I made were deleted, which is clearly an issue. However these are articles when I worked on material '''''By myself''''' for a long time, with only help from wikignomes.
 
How can I showprove that at least some of my major content was okay? As an indef blocked editor I can't work on any of themanything and submit themit for "Good article" status. However there is some evidence may be useful.
 
The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_protection Planetary protection] article is 68.8% mine (checked with WhoColor[https://f-squared.org/whovisual/]). More than half the cites were added by me. The editor who was most strongly in favour of deleting my articleModern isMars oneHabitability ofarticle itsis an editorseditor, contributing 5.7% of its content under the names of BatteryIncluded and Rowan Forest. IfShe therehas wereretained anyalmost majorall issues with themy cites Iand addedcontent, sheso wouldsurely havethat removedis themevidence bymost now.of it is okay?
 
I use this just to show that I can do some good content. If unblocked, I will not even do minor edits because of connection with deleted material[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_protection#Mars_special_regions][https://encyclopediaofastrobiology.org/wiki/Planetary_protection#Mars_special_regions], but edit my copy[https://encyclopediaofastrobiology.org/wiki/Planetary_protection#Mars_special_regions].
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
I hope this is enough evidence to see that I am an editor who is an asset to Wikipedia.
 
MySo, planhow iscan I return without causing problems? I plan to do minor edits and corrections for six months. After that, to do any major contentwork with collaborators from the start., as 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 togetherThen we'd submit it for review as a Good Article, similarly to WikiNews.
 
If you think I should only do wikignoming, that is actually the main reason I wish to be unblocked. For instance the Chicxulub article says that the impactor could have been up to 81 km in diameter, citing a never peer reviewed non published preprint. Reliable sources say a range from 10 -15 km (81 may be a typo for 18). I wish to fix errorsexamples likesee: that[https://encyclopediaofastrobiology.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor/Wikipedia_minor_fixes_examples].
 
Thank you for your time in considering this appeal.
