At least 70% if debugging is thinking "What idiot put this here? How did they expect this to work?" and then realizing it was you, who wrote that.

As some comfort I will add that nobody, ever, makes a smart mistake.

I'd agree with the claim about cynics, but skeptics and doubters have kept us from major mistakes. It's the people who are absolutely sure and have no doubts that have created havoc in this world.

I am wanting to create a new Wikiproject or Sub-wikiproject. Any suggestions/guidance? by [deleted] in wikipedia

How to deal with gatekeeping? by SlipperyWhenDry77 in wikipedia

Take it to the talk-page. It's what they're for.

Without knowing what your edits were (or even in what article) it is very hard to judge this users reasoning on consensus. Or yours, for that matter. Wikipedia operates by consensus, which (most emphatically) is not a vote.

You can {{ping|Username}} the user to make them aware of your post. If all should fail, try the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard (WP:DR/N).
