<nowiki></nowiki>{{unblock|reason=
Apologies for taking up so much time before, have learned my lesson and would love to get back to contributing, no hard feelings.
My main reason for asking for the unblock is to fix errors in Wikipedia, patrol proposals for deletion and continue my work in the topic area of microtonal music.
Most of the issues raised were in a situation where I or another author added substantial new content, spent a long time over it, and another editor suddenly deleted it or nominated it for deletion, with no prior discussion or involvement in the editing.
* I or someone else as sole author spent a long time adding content to Wikipedia, following guidelines to best of our ability.
* Another editor suddenly, in a bold edit, removed the content or nominated it for deletion, without prior discussion or editor involvement.
The problems arose when I tried to get it restored or defended it from deletion. ▼

It is rare that I add new articles. My article creation list has only one other in the two years previously; the rest are redirects [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=50&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=Robertinventor&namespace=0&tagfilter=&newOnly=1&start=2015-08-01&end=2017-08-31].
ToMy preventplan thisif unblocked is to do most of my substantial editing in themy futureown wikis. If I do anything like that here, I will endeavour to find support of co-editors with diverse views before starting on substantial contentfirst. I also recommend this to friends. This will also help with gray area issues of encyclopedic tone, notability, reliable sources and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view WP:NPOV].
AllI issuesshouldn't ofhave verbosityproblems werewith due to talk page responses after these bold deletions. The comments were not off topic. This is not likely to happen againverbosity if I takedo these precautionsthis. I will also continue to work on reducing my word count in talk page conversations.

* I will use the sandbox to reduce word count - see the note to myself at the head of the talk page.
