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, spending 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.
The problems arose when I tried to get it restored or defended it from deletion.

I was attempting to prevent removal from Wikipedia of NASA's views, not mine.

* '''''Selling Wikipedia content on kindle in 2015''''' 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]. Some editors in the debate were unaware that Wikipedia's license permits commercial use[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_LicenseCreative]. I released the booklet under the correct license and attributed Wikipedia with a link back following their guidelines[http://robertinventor.com/booklets/presentdaymarshabitats.html]
Although I was suddenly charged with many things in one appeal, they were old charges. I had never been taken to ANI about them before and most of them were about content I added at least a year previously.
Only the topic ban appeal was new.
If I answer the remaining charges, it will take this well over the recommended 500 word limit, and it is already slightly over, so I will collapse them.
