I've realized what's been keeping me off the wiki. You once said I was very likely to get imminently blocked. I've been left worrying that the most innocent mistake on my part could make that happen, ever since. I'd never make a bad faith edit, so I don't think I'm in a position where I deserve to be blocked for any reason, but that's just my opinion, I realize. Am I allowed to make edits that might be attempts to do good that end up being minor less-than-helpful actions, or am I going to be teetering on that brink indefinitely?

I can explain why that past issue should not be the sole basis for my judgment now. This was because I'd marked a category for deletion and it ended up reverted and protected instead, thus implying that what I thought was nonsense was something important. I began worrying this to be a sign that I would only keep causing trouble as I went, and began trying all kinds of ways to atone. I used "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" as my defense, but got all hung up on the "stupidity" part and ended up insulting myself. It must be stated that I never intended to make general inappropriate implications about the basis of intelligence. (To express that, after you warned me and removed that thread, I removed all the other threads I'd posted on that topic AND erased their content.)  Honestly, I don't know what I was thinking. I've been clever all my life, and we all know it takes more than one thing to indicate otherwise. Please forget I ever said anything bad. Also, it turned out that said category wasn't even my fault at all (see here). I therefore declare the whole thing null and void, but figure an administrator must agree with me before I can be accepted as an innocent member of the community again.

So, can I remove things I think might not be helpful, or mark things that look like they might have no good reason to be here for deletion, as long as I do it all in good faith and don't do it to anything that should obviously stay?
