I am a good faith editor, always have been, and want to find a way to return to Wikipedia editing.
The deleted article was mya bestgood faith attempt to present views of others, not myself,. eE.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.▼
I accept the community decision to delete this material. This is just to affirm good faith. All the other matters raised in the debate were good faith edits, as a result of reading the guidelines and following them to the best of my ability. I could go through them all but was advised I shouldn't issue "corrections".
 
About half the articles I made were deleted, which is clearly an issue. SoHowever howthese doare articles when I showworked thaton Imaterial '''''By myself''''' for a long time, with only help from wikignomes, canand dothen editingit thatwas issuddenly okay?deleted.
 
So I need to find a way to avoid that situation in the future. I do write good content here. 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. I think that is good evidence that I can write good content given that theThe editor who was most strongly in favour of deleting my article is one of its editors, contributing 5.7% of its content under the names of BatteryIncluded and Rowan Forest. If there were any major issues with the cites I added, for instance, she would have removed them, and sheby didn'tnow. ▼
Well, most of the issues arose when I worked on material '''''By myself''''' for a long time and then it was suddenly deleted.
 
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]. However, that my content was retained surely shows that I can write good material here.▼
Note, I never edit war. Just talk. I am aware I tend to become more verbose when this happens, it’s my academic background kicking in!
 
How can I show that at least some of the other half was okay? As an indef blocked editor I can't work on any of them and submit them for "Good article" status.
▲So I need to find a way to avoid that situation in the future. I do write good content here.

Well, I am also the main editor of Hexany[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hexany], and therethe wasresult anof its AfD on this early on and the article was retainedKeep[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Hexany] which is proof thatshowing there is at least something thereof othervalue editors thought worth includingthere.

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]

My plan is to do minor edits and corrections for six months. After that, to do any major content with collaborators from the start. 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 together we'd submit it for review as a Good Article, similarly to WikiNews.
 
▲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.
 
I ask to be unblocked to return to minor edits[https://encyclopediaofastrobiology.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor/Wikipedia_minor_fixes_examples] which is what I worked on most weeks as volunteer editor for Wikipedia. And if the community consider this is appropriate I may eventually also return to major content. Most weeks I did minor edits and corrections and ifIf you think I shoudlshould 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. It cites a never published preprint for this figure which is clearly a typo for 18 km, the usual range given is 10 - 15 km. I wish to fix errors like that[https://encyclopediaofastrobiology.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor/Wikipedia_minor_fixes_examples].
 
Thank you for your time in considering this appeal.
