Next steps

I understand that you are keen to contribute to our article on fields. Now that your block for edit-warring has expired, you must decide how you want to progress this. I notice that while blocked you continued to edit the talk page with an IP. This is not permitted and I would be within policy and custom to reblock you for this, see WP:SOCK. I decline this time to do so, but I warn you not to repeat this or further measures will be taken against you. I hope this will not become necessary as you will not require to be blocked again. Do not edit war, see WP:EW, but discuss with your sources (see WP:IRS and WP:V) on the talk page, under your proper account. 

I know that editing here is a steep learning curve and I am willing to help you do it right. You must accept that we are a mature community with very well-established policies and customs. If you come here you have to work within that, just like if you get a job in a university you have to listen to the people who are already working there. I can tell you have a lot to offer to the project. Please make your arguments in talk, be patient and kind to the folks who wrote the article (I am not one but was asked to look at this by someone who is. This does not mean I endorse their opinion on how the article should read.) even (especially) when you disagree with their writing, and accept that you will seldom get all of what you want, just as in most areas of life. I am a volunteer just like you, but I have been around for a good while and I am entrusted with the janitorial role of making sure that things don't get damaged. In support of that role I am allowed to block users, protect articles from editing and certain other powers. I would very much rather not use them any further here. I am also a science graduate, and have some passing understanding of the subject you are here to edit, for whatever that may be worth.

Please resume your discussions in talk, but please do not edit-war or sock again. Let me know if you need any further help and I will be glad to offer it to you.   

My voice is important to me, if you take it upon yourself to snuff it out, or otherwise misrepresent it, in my book you are not out to help. 

The good cop bad cop, all-in-one schizo stuff is kinda weird; & your paternalism is waaaay off the mark. Ignoring you was not ""unwise"", & I am hardly intimidated by your inadequate mastery of the rules you wish to nail to the wall. Perhaps you should review these dictates more closely yourself & check your double standards at the door. I am speaking of editing my criticisms of your actions amongst other things.

I did not start an ""edit war"" as you imply. Your issue was personaldisobedience to be exact, with a sprinkling of that self empowering sparkle which lording over others endowsthe joy of duct tape & racquetball, which only a cop-at-heart can understand. I did not practice deception as you imply with the ""sock puppet"", I signed my name to every puppets comment. I am not a perp, as implied by your actions in sum. Therefore you are barking up the wrong tree. I don't buy it that you are a robot bound to regs just doing your job as implied; you are a person making choices & you chose bad faith & laziness.

The generalisms you sincerely & patiently list, I'm sure are relevant in the wider context & larger community that you refer to & I'm sure what you do is of value there. I don't envy your job. In this case, however, we're talking two people debating in a forum, & an article that needs to be kept safe & sterile from any potential change lest something terrible happen! Is the cop/citizen ratio so mature in this community that there are resources to police such minor quibbles? Where am I Disneyland? Tracking IP's attached to names in order to reign in such terrorism is downright dumb for a supposedly progressive community. See WP WTF

If you place an obedient noob filter on any & every minor impulse-response test that passes though looking to improve upon the low grade blasphemy passing itself off for knowledge, you will reap what you sow. The page will never make it to the C grade it claims to be.

I do care about the subject, & *your* site is misrepresenting it for years now. I will continue to do what I can to fix it, with or without your rules if it's important to you that you stand in my way. There has been zero effort to address the fundamental criticism brought up a year ago now. How many people are going to bother explaining themselves after stroking a potentially infinite series of well meaning, but primarily self-serving policy enforcers hovering over a page, in order to change a few sentences? 

Since you have a science degree, you might know that this is a
