If I may, i'm gonna chime in here, This is what you want to do to become a permanent editor on wikipedia, 1. Don't do what you did to get banned, 2. {{Special:Createaccount}} I'd recommend this but its not required if you want to be a permanent editor (Unless your IP changes or if its shared) and 3. Look for what you enjoy editing in and edit there but make sure to provide a reliable source to most of what you put here on wikipedia, and 4. I'd recommend signing your posts by using this but 4 times over, or clicking the button towards the bottom of the editing page, thats pretty much all you need to know about becoming a permanent editor.
