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. The way I see it, you're not playing your cards right at all. 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. Where are the citations? The references? The secondary sources?

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.
