I would like to appeal the ban placed on me on Logopedia, and explain why an unblocking (even if it doesn't result in the reinstatement of my admin privileges) should be looked at for review as well as my role in what happened.

First, concerning the issue that started the ball rolling on the ban: the edits of the TBS page. The SVG files I uploaded onto the files earlier in the month were already uploaded to the site. My reasoning for replacing the images in question were that I felt that the files were on the page were not completely accurate design-wise (particularly the 1989-1991 logo, in which the first SVG version had clearly different kerning on the "TBS" lettering). The website I converted the files to SVG from did not have a feature to improve the quality, though the files appeared, to me, to be of reasonable quality.

Second, concerning the templates section, I created those sections because of an apparent bug with the visual editor that causes the lower-most template to be removed from a particular page if a user edits and publishes the entire page on that editor. For example: if one edits a page containing the Nexstar Media Group template and a template listing television stations in a particular market, if the Nexstar template was displayed last, it will be removed from the page layout by accident if a user edits the full page instead of a particular section. I thought that to be a band-aid to the issue, since no administrator on the site noticed that bug, and it was never noticed or reported by any other user.

Thirdly, concerning the talk page, I'm aware that I didn't respond to your posts when they came up, and I apologize for that. Seldom have I responded to posts from other users, in no large part because of time management issues. (This is an issue that I have gotten better at on Wikipedia to some extent, though issues concerning my edits are seldom addressed on that site.) In addition, I didn't realize this until after the block was imposed, but all emails concerning posts to user talk pages go directly to the social bin on certain email providers (I use Gmail, where this is the case, compared to Wikipedia, where all talk page posts are directed to the primary bin), hence I didn't receive the posts that NewYorkCity101 sent me regarding my edits, since I don't usually look at the social bin as the majority of emails sent there relate to notifications sent to my YouTube account (from which many news open compilation videos have been used on certain television station pages on Logopedia). In addition, early in my time as a Logopedia editor, I routinely received email posts from particular users who would bombard my page with questions to where responding was difficult; beyond that, I never considered that anyone would have any issues with what I was doing to where problems that would cause a prospective ban would precipitate.

In closing, I have been a valiant user of Logopedia, because the content of the site interested me when I first browsed it years ago. However, I did not consider that anything I did could be considered worthy of a suspension or an outright ban because I tried to follow some of the site's rules as much as I could. Not realizing, I landed into trouble for reasons some of which were not conventionally cited or perceived as portending disciplinary action. If I am unblocked, I will try to make a better effort as a user. If you're an administrator who has read this, thank you for your time and I await your response.
