You need to bring facts to back up your claims and complaints - and you need to do this detective work yourself; don't expect someone else to find evidence to help you, because no one cares.

You went in, barging in like a bull in a china shop, accused other users of being affiliated to the former royal family and, even if your intentions might have been good, you didn't offer something new to the discussion.

Furthermore, I have contributed numerous other edits to all sorts of different articles, ranging from passenger aircraft to computers and from music to dogs. I also would like to point out that my main interest is copyediting, perhaps much more so than anything else.

You really don't understand the mentality here, do you? With this confrontational attitude, you're not going anywhere. On the internet, one of the oldest truisms is that the oldtimer is always right and there's very little leniency towards newcomers, especially if they appear to be confrontational.
