Topic ban reconsideration
Following advice in the introduction to WP:AE, would you reconsider my topic ban imposed by you over four years ago in Nov 2012 (discussion), (notification), on the consideration that: --Iantresman (talk) 13:37, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) It was over 4 years ago. During this time, I have:
 * 2) Received no further blocks
 * 3) Created over 90 new articles
 * 4) Contributed significantly to articles that have received Good Article status, including (a) Cerne Abbas Giant (15 Jan 2013), and Lobster (magazine) (6 Jan 2013)
 * 5) Participated in "grey" topic areas, on the advice of Drmies, and notified to yourself, that Drmies said "participation could be a test case for me".
 * This is not "grey area". It's squarely within your topic ban. I'm not inclined to lift it when there's a recent violation. T. Canens (talk) 20:44, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I am obviously very disappointed, especially as I was trying to contribute in good faith based on what I considered was another "grey" area, about a person. Yes he is related to plasma science (but the discussion was about him being a scientist), just as the "grey area" magazine discussion was related (broadly construed) to astrophysics. You'll note that in both discussions I provided more sources than anyone else by far, which as a basic pillar of Wikipedia per WP:RS and WP:TALK, I would have hoped counted for something. In my opinion, editors are supposed to be penalised for vandalising the sidewalk (pavement), not treading on the lines, and I hope you'll reconsider. --Iantresman (talk) 21:36, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
