It seems - please correct me if I'm wrong - that several editors have asked you to change aspects of your use of Wikipedia (WP), and generally you don't respond to their concerns, either by talking about them or modifying your editing style. This to me implies that you are a disruptive editor.

You may think that the Wikipedia community is powerless to force you to change. You're right - up to a point. Unless you transgress by breaking clearly-defined rules with escalation paths - like vandalism - there seems to be no way of your easily being temporarily blocked.

Not that I for one would favour a block as a first resort - but we've tried reasoning with you, to (so far) no seeming avail. So why would somebody want to block you? Maybe your edits in a way benefit WP? Fine, but if you're disruptive, that causes other editors time and trouble in dealing with you. (Rather than dealing, I'd like to say interacting with you, but unfortunately your pie-chart of edits shows no appetite on your part, to date, for discussing any aspect of WP with any other editor.)

If you were to be temporarily blocked from using WP, it would give you time to consider whether you do want to continue editing the English WP in future &, if so, how you might modify your behaviour to follow the community's consensus.

But how could you be blocked, if you don't break clear rules? Well, there are ways, but I'd rather not go down that path yet. I'd much prefer to see an editor respond to other editor(s)' concerns, & seek a compromise whereby the editor makes reasonable changes, than see a potentially useful editor barred.

Am I being reasonable? Do you believe in consensus? Are you really a good Wikipedian?

I'd be grateful if you could respond here, in your own defence. Thank you. ~
