Because the people with whome you were edit warring with are under AC
restrictions now.

During those 1 1/2 years you were edit warring. No one is doubtimg
your good intentions anyway. What we doubt is your ability to not edit
war.

Since you *could* do it then why don't you just do it?  What it would
prove is that you *can* edit uncontroversially.  I would love to be
proved wrong on this.
