1. It was in good faith. I spent almost 2 hours making good faith contributions which I am now being criticised for. Of course they were bad and caused a lot of trouble and I would not do it again, but I didn't know that at the time.
2. Shunning/banning is an administrative action (I was already banned for a bit), giving advice is not. I believe I have noted before that I will accept any administrative action that may result from this gracefully, ie when I found out Raul had banned me I didn't run around screaming and crying like some people have demanding to be unbanned.

You apparently spent from 02:48 to 04:32, nearly 2 hours, vandalizing the tokipona wikipedia, thus requiring Angela to waste time reverting your changes. You may find it annoying to have that sort of behavior result in people giving you advice, but you're lucky it doesn't get you shunned or banned from the project.
