Hi Zephalian,

This is something that you will need to sort out with the local admins, but I'm happy to give some advice.

Looking at your contributions, it seems to me that you may have come in too strong, and that people on the wiki found it rather overwhelming. Almost half of your edits since you returned to the wiki were on talk pages - almost 40 in a couple of days! You also said a lot of self-depreciating things, which makes it sounds like you are trying to get people to reply with compliments and support... which can feel manipulative. I'm not saying that was your intention, but it may have contributed to people's annoyance.

I would suggest that you go back to editing, and let conversation come up more naturally. You don't need to make big edits, just looking for typos, or adding small facts, or adding appropriate images is a help to a wiki, and will show your good intentions. Building up relationships with others on the wiki though that sort of interaction is better than trying to force it with multiple talk page messages.

I'm not saying that the way you interacted justifies the rude response, but it's likely you can help to change future reactions by backing off a bit and allowing yourself and others time to get to know each other (again).

I hope that helps.
