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].

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.

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.
The deleted articles were ones I worked on '''''By myself''''' for a long time, with only help from wikignomes. That seems to be the main issue.


How can I prove that at least some of my content was okay? As an indef blocked editor I can't work on anything and submit it 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 Modern Mars Habitability article is an editor, contributing 5.7% of its content under the names of BatteryIncluded and Rowan Forest. She has retained almost all my cites and content, so surely that is evidence most of it is okay?

My minor edit of Black Hole[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Black_hole&diff=prev&oldid=852417737] was of an article with (1,859 watchers[https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/Black_hole] and it is 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]

In the year before the block, I fixed over 90 articles[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20180731235959&limit=500&contribs=user&target=Robertinventor&namespace=0&tagfilter=&start=&end=2018-07-31], with only 2 reverts[https://encyclopediaofastrobiology.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor/Wikipedia_minor_fixes_examples#Articles_to_fix]. I have a ten year history of Wikignoming with no issues raised before the indef block.

Nobody has ever raised issues with my wikignoming before the indef block.


I hope this is enough evidence to see that I am an editor who is an asset to Wikipedia.

So, how can I return without causing problems? I plan to do minor edits and corrections for six months. After that, to work with collaborators from the start, as I do 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]. Then we'd submit it for review as a Good Article, similarly to WikiNews.

If you think I should only do wikignoming, that is the main reason I wish to be unblocked. For examples see: [https://encyclopediaofastrobiology.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor/Wikipedia_minor_fixes_examples].
