<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.
Line 26 ⟶ 28:

I don't have much to go on with the closing statement: ''"Closing with a consensus towards an indef block, plus my own admin judgment in that direction"''[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=855723651#User:Robertinventor,_again]. Though there was a consensus to block me, there was no consensus in the debate about what I was charged with. I will choose what seem to be the top three charges, and answer them as best I can, but please bear in mind I do not wish to edit in these areas any more.
The problem I have here is that the main thing I did "wrong" according to the unblock debate was to defend my Modern Mars Habitability article from being deleted which they say as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CHEESE WP:CHEESE]. If I could agree with that unblock is simple. But what do you do if you can't agree with that? This is my best try:
* '''''Contributing an article in March 2017 that contradicts statements in Life on Mars that the Mars surface is known to be sterile [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FModern_Mars_habitability&diff=prev&oldid=855472459], and defending it from deletion.'''''[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27_noticeboard%2FIncidents&diff=prev&oldid=855483230] For another perspective on why I defended it from deletion, please watch this short (less than two minutes) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk-Ycp5llEI official NASA video] about planetary protection for Mars organisms. It's the third video on the main overview page for the NASA Office of Planetary Protection[https://planetaryprotection.nasa.gov/overview]. I understand that the final decision of the Wikipedia community is that material that contradicts that section[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_on_Mars#Cumulative_effects] should be deleted. However please don't make it an unblock requirement that I have to say that NASA's views are [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CHEESE WP:CHEESE].

The deleted article[http://deletionpedia.org/en/Modern_Mars_habitability] had numerous cites. It summarized what the cites said to the best of my ability, not my own views.

The other charges are easier to address:
* '''''Adding a page about my own software in 2008 as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox_or_means_of_promotion 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]. When I found the guidelines on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest WP:COI] in 2011, I added a declaration of interest to my talk page[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Robertinventor#Declaration_of_interest] and the article talk page. There was no commercial intent there.
{{cot|Details}} I had multiple reasons for considering it notable. As well as that review, it is 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]. It is also referenced in 17 other cites in Google Scholar[https://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Tune+Smithy%22]. Google scholar is an accepted way to investigate notability[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Search_engine_test#Specific_uses_of_search_engines_in_Wikipedia]. Many years before the sanction debate it was modified substantially by other editors, with no suggestions to delete it. You are not required to delete an article when you discover rules on COI, just declare your connection.
