'''CHARGE''': I was accused of disruptive behaviour for adding an article on the topic of the possible association of Morgellons with the spirochetes that cause chronic Lyme disease and of problems of FRINGE and MEDRS
'''CHARGE''': I was accused of disruptive behaviour for adding an article on the topic of the possible association of Morgellons with the spirochetes that cause chronic Lyme disease and of problems of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fringe_theories WP:FRINGE] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources_(medicine)WP:MEDRS]


'''TRUE SITUATION''': The merged away [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Moregellons_Lyme_hypothesis&oldid=661359802 article] states that it is fringe science as its first sentence, clearly explains that the research has limited support, and followed all the guidelines for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fringe_theories WP:FRINGE]. Fringe articles on medicine are not required to follow MEDRS, see for example [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_Lyme_disease Chronic Lyme disease].

I was never sanctioned or taken to WP:ANI over it, and it has nothing to do with the dispute that lead to my indef block. My last comment on the main Morgellons talk page was in [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/topedits/en.wikipedia.org/Robertinventor/1/Morgellons September 2016].

'''CHARGE''': I was accused of adding material to Wikipedia that was mistaken, and of including a quote in a footnote[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27_noticeboard%2FIncidents&diff=prev&oldid=855691579]


'''TRUE SITUATION''': I did make one mistake, but Wikipedia editors are advised in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Be_bold WP:BOLD]: ''"Think about it this way: if you don't find one of your edits being reverted now and then, perhaps you're not being bold enough"''. The other alleged mistake was not acted on by the editor who made the accusation - my text remains in the article just as it was before the debate.

I agree that my edit of the Perigean spring tide article was mistaken. If I'd noticed the revert and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Perigean_spring_tide#Confusing_first_paragraph the reason given] I'd have commented on the talk page agreeing with the editor who fixed it and thanking them for their edit.

On the black holes evaporation timescale, then the material I contributed in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hawking_radiation&diff=prev&oldid=852418447 diff] mentioned in the sanction debate is still in the Hawking Radiation article. Similar material in this [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Black_hole&type=revision&diff=852418871&oldid=852173684 diff] is also still included in the Black Holes article. The editor who claimed I made a mistake has not edited this article since the sanction debate to try to fix the alleged mistake [[https://xtools.wmflabs.org/topedits/en.wikipedia.org/Yakushima/0/Hawking_radiation edits by user]].

'''CHARGE''': I was accused of an off wiki conversation about possible future use of platinum in the construction industry that disqualifies me as an editor of Wikipedia [[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27_noticeboard%2FIncidents&diff=prev&oldid=855691579 diff]]

'''TRUE SITUATION''': It was nothing to do with Wikipedia. I barely remember this discussion, some years back. Potential lunar platinum ores of exceptional purity are a central theme of Dennis Wingo's [http://www.thespacereview.com/article/205/1 Moonrush], also covered in Crawford's [https://theconversation.com/why-we-should-mine-the-moon-34285 lunar resources review article]. I combined that with ideas for low cost export from the Moon to speculate about what would happen if was similar in price to copper, which is used in the construction industry.
