Request reason:

Hello everyone. This is the second unblock request that I am making after the first was declined for not addressing the sockpuppetry & POV pushing. Please refer to the thread above. Just for the information I was blocked in Jan 2024 and now Oct is about to end. Now I will try to address both the issues. *Sockpuppetry: My orginal account (which I no longer have access to) was blocked for being disruptive within very few days. I made another got blocked for Sockpuppetry. Then made other and was blocked again for being disruptive and was later discovered to be a sock account. Being honest, I had no idea of SPI policy of Wikipedia until I made JaggaDaaku (referred as JD, hereinafter) and it was blocked for Sockpuppetry. Then I waited for 6 months to apply for WP:SO. As my TP was revoked I made a UTRS appeal and was told to make the request from my original account. As I said, I had no access to that so I was left with nowhere to go. Then I made another mistake and I made this account. I thought this will be considered a fresh start. I was wrong. After spending some time this was also blocked for Sockpuppetry after an investigation report was filed by DreamRimmer and I accepted that before as soon as I got to know about that. Bcoz this time I didn't want to give false excuses. I was again told to wait for 6 months and apply for WP:SO. I will remind that I now only have access to this account and not any others. I had access to JD after I made this one. But my mobile was stolen and I could not retrieve it bcoz of my not so good habit of forgetting passwords. Now I only have access to this one. *POV pushing accusations on India (mainly political) related topics: I would like to confirm that my motive was never to do so. I know I have made mistakes but the past can't be rewritten. All I can do is apologize and make sure it doesn't happen in the future. And I promise it won't. Some users like Ratnahastin and Malerisch suggested no unblock without me being barred from WP:ARBIPA. If the community thinks that it is necessary I am prepared for that. I humbly accept my wrongs and promise to prove my worth when given a chance. Please refer to the thread above for this discussion. I would also like to note, as per the advice at WP:SO, I was not just waiting for 6 months to get over. I have continued making contributions to other projects mostly on Wikimedia Commons and a bit on Hindi Wikipedia. If there is something more that needs my explanation or I need to accept something plz tell me I am happy to do so. I would once again request the community to give me a chance. Thank you.

Accept reason:

Shaan Sengupta (talk · contribs) is conditionally unblocked subject to a single account restriction and an indefinite topic ban from all edits covered by WP:ARBIPA, appealable to the community via WP:AN after nine months and, if unsuccessful, every six months thereafter. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:54, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support unblocking with topic ban from anything related to India. Ratnahastin (talk) 15:51, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yamla, Shaan's contributions at Commons look good and I'm inclined to conditionally unblock if Shaan consents to an indefinite ARBPIA TBAN, reviewable in 9 months. Also requesting you run a CU check please. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:53, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No recent block evasion according to WP:CHECKUSER data. Assuming the original sock master account is EditingGodguru, the blocking admin there would be Blablubbs and I see a significant number of sock accounts. That said, I'd be okay with an unblock on that basis, with additionally a single-account restriction. --Yamla (talk) 01:34, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note that I meant WP:ARBIPA, not ARBPIA, above. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:54, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the specific terms I'm thinking: Shaan Sengupta (talk · contribs) is conditionally unblocked subject to an indefinite topic-banned from all edits covered by WP:ARBIPA, appealable to the community via WP:AN after nine months and, if unsuccessful, every six months thereafter. voorts (talk/contributions) 02:03, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Voorts & @Yamla thanks for the update. I have already agreed to both the conditions i.e. an indefinite block from WP:ARBIPA (appealable to the community) & single account restrictions. I myself had mentioned that I am ok with all the previous accounts locked globally, bcoz I no longer have access to any of them. Overall, I agree to all the above things that the community has till now proposed. Thank you. ShaanSengupta^Talk 03:08, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Voorts & @Yamla since you two are involved here in this successful unblock request. I have two requests. Can I add images to the pages who maybe are covered under the topic ban. Only images bcoz I have some on commons while I was blocked here. I promise not edit even a letter. Other is can I edit user templates related to India like this one or this one, the later being created by me only. Thank you. ShaanSengupta^Talk 10:51, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, adding images to articles covered by your topic ban would be a violation of your topic ban. It's unclear to me if the templates are covered by your topic ban. Please don't edit those unless Voorts indicates it would be okay. --Yamla (talk) 11:02, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The topic ban is ARBIPA, which applies to all pages (not just articles), broadly construed. I think those templates would be covered. voorts (talk/contributions) 13:23, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Yamla & @Voorts. Last question (for now

), Can I atleast make an edit request on the talk pages of the articles so that others can add the images. ShaanSengupta^Talk 13:28, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No edit requests either. You need to stay away from the topic completely. voorts (talk/contributions) 13:34, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Voorts sorry for the trouble. But Toddy1 just let me know at their talk page, that I might have violated my TBan with the creation of my user page. I apologise, if I have violated the terms of my unblock, i.e. the TBan. I would request you to delete my userpage if its creation violates the Tban. This won't be repeated. Thank you and sorry. ShaanSengupta^Talk 22:54, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted, but you should create a new one that doesn't violate the TBAN since the page is currently being populated by your meta userpage. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:13, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Voorts

Done please let me know if there is anything in the new page that still violates the TBan. I shall be happy to remove it. Thank you. ShaanSengupta^Talk 01:17, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back, Shaan! Great to have you here again. – DreamRimmer (talk) 07:13, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank u so much @DreamRimmer. Both for this welcome msg & the way u showed me to win back community's trust & get unblocked. Thank u once again. ShaanSengupta^Talk 11:52, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
