Since no one else is addressing this I'll take a bite.

For starters, you have been warned. Literally just scroll down and while Game doesn't use the warning template, for all intents and purposes, it was a warning. That in mind, there have been other "informal" warnings, referring to the whole "The Scam" incident in which we discussed a lot of your.... objectionable editing habits and again, while it may not have been a formal warning, you should have taken that to heart. All that being said, having been on the chat, there were actually a lot of scenarios in which we attempted to warn you or sometimes suspend you but a number of factors prevented us, namely Kaiju and I haven't been promoted yet, and Russ, our most active buro, doesn't really have a knack for this article stuff. Needless to say, consider yourself lucky you got off easy for the time that you did.

Now to address this gallery issue. For starters a lot of the users got the impression that the whole seperate gallery thing was just one giant edit cow that you were trying to milk. A number of factors that created this idea was:

1. Your past editing tendancies. Not sure if you're aware of this but you actually have quite the history of both en masse editing (which while not explicitly against the rules, is generally looked down upon, especially when they're low quality which a lot of yours were), and what is obvious edit milking. In fact I actually remember some page (that I don't feel like digging for) where you arbitrarily undid some edit that added categories and you just added them back (one at a time at that, cause how else are you going to score some more of those juicy edits).

2. The low quality of the galleries you made. Just about every gallery you touched was either: Completely and utterly unecessary (Harold season 1, really?), laughably unorganized, or blatantly incomplete. A lot of the times it was all three, now that I think about it.

3. The way that you made them. The way that you edit is honest to god outright counter-intuitive. You take a lot of unecessary steps (I remember one time where you undid an edit only to fix it when you very have easily gone right to fixing it). How this relates to galleries is you typically created them and then added the categories and leave them incomplete (probably to add them in later to score some of those extra edits but that's probably just me being a cynic). I'm not sure if you're aware you can add categories right from creation but again, given your history, it just pointed towards more edit milking.

Those points being made, if you look at Kaiju's post in the gallery thread he makes not of what is described as these "purgatory" characters where they lie in this sort of middle ground where we would discuss their deletion (probably in chat), but not outright delete them yet. You made three mistakes in this regard.

1. You added the "middle ground" characters for deletion, going against what we stated in the thread, indicating that you really did not read it.

2. You went and tried to do everything by yourself. In the thread I detailed that we would want to make the transitition to whatever we wanted organized. You taking everything into your hands is not organized, not communicative, and is a prime example of some of the behavior that caused this problem in the first place.

3. You did all this at once. This was the biggie. Can I just speak on behalf of every honest editor and say that clogging up the wiki activity in the way that you do (and this wasn't even the first time) is a total nightmare. If anything, it just makes the patrollers' jobs harder. Seriously, just take a look at the wiki activity and look at all of the edits you did in such a short timespan and if you legitimately think that is acceptable, I honestly do not know what to say to you.

On a closing note, if you wish to take anything from this (although again, given your history you seem to have quite the knack for arguments), the main issues were really the mass, low quality edits. For your sake, I would really recommend evaluating some of the editing habits you have so that no one gets the wrong impression about what you're intending. My own personal opinion is that this ban was both perfectly fair and honestly pretty overdue. But I digress, please do take this time to think.
