* '''''Adding my own views to Wikipedia, contradicting statements in Life on Mars that Mars is known to be sterile.''''' Before deciding whether these were my views or those of NASA, please watch this one and a half minute video[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk-Ycp5llEI]. It is the third video on the overview page of the NASA Office of Planetary Protection[https://planetaryprotection.nasa.gov/overview]. They explain why Mars missions are sterilized to protect future searches for present day Mars organisms from Earth microbes and why Earth has to be protected from Mars organisms in any future returned samples. |

* '''''Adding a page about my own software as WP:PROMO.''''' I added this after a review in Sound on Sound, often used as a reliable source in Wikipedia[https://www.google.com/search?q=site:en.wikipedia.org+%22sound+on+sound%22]. My software is also referenced in a notable book on microtonality with 554 cites in Google scholar[https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=18360403027930205731&as_sdt=2005&sciodt=0,5&hl=en] and in 17 other cites in Google Scholar[https://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Tune+Smithy%22]. When I found guidelines on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest WP:COI], I added a declaration of interest to my talk page and the article talk page. Before the sanction debate it had many editors and no suggestions to delete it. |

* '''''Selling Wikipedia content on kindle''''' It was only a few sentences from a deleted section[https://tools.wmflabs.org/copyvios/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title=Water+on+Mars&oldid=556727781&use_engine=0&use_links=0&turnitin=0&action=compare&url=http%3A%2F%2Frobertinventor.com%2Fbooklets%2Fpresentdaymarshabitats.html].
