As you have violated your WP:TOPICBAN from all edits covered by WP:ARBIPA, which was part of the conditions imposed on you when you were unblocked, I have reinstated your indefinite block. These conditions were documented in User talk:Shaan Sengupta/Archive 2 and listed at Wikipedia:Editing_restrictions#Active_editing_restrictions. --Yamla (talk) 12:28, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla I have no excuses but only explanation and apologies for my actions. Its just that I went to that page when I was looking at Cinderella's edits while we were involved in similar articles. I went there to see whether they had flags and found that a few of them had partof missing. So I added them, which was in violation of my TBan. The only good, if any, thing about it is that it was nothing controversial and only basic. I can assure you that it was totally unintentional. By no means I did that on purpose. Ever since I was unblocked, I have tired my best to act responsibly and respect the terms. One instance happened when I edited the ICC president page. Voorts explained what and how it went wrong. Since then I always acted carefully. But I don't know how I forgot today about it. You can see my contributions have been very limited, bcoz of me not having good knowledge of world outside my country. Still I tried my best. The conflict in my edits were mainly limited to Indian politics, still I gladly accepted WP:ARBIPA, broadly construed. I would request you and the community to rethink this, and give me a chance. I will take more precautions and will try my best to not work in haste. I am sorry once again. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 13:00, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You've repeatedly violated your topic ban. You clearly understood your topic ban. This is on top of previously substantially abusing multiple accounts. You were given multiple chances and decided to squander them. I'm sorry, as far as I'm concerned, this is the end of the line. --Yamla (talk) 13:15, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla This was the third instance when I violated the TBan. First was when I created my userpage, bcoz I thought it was only limited to articles and not userpages. I requested it to be deleted when Toddy1 explained it to me. Second was when I edited ICC president page. I did it since it was about a page of world cricket governing body. I was told that the things I edited contained parts related to WP:ARBIPA. When I got aware about it, I took a step back and became extra careful. This is the instance where it was completely my mistake and has no explanation. And I am regretful for that. Had it striked me, I would have reverted myself. I know I made a mistake. I paid for the evasions. I was unblocked with a TBan. I would respectfully disagree that I decided to squandered my chances. I limited my activity here only so that I don't violate any rules and terms. This was an instance when it happened which shouldn't have. I am very sorry for that. If given a chance, I will definitely do my best to fix this too. I am sorry. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 13:29, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Claiming "I limited my activity here only so that I don't violate any rules and terms" is so blatantly false it beggars belief. You are free to contest your block. I oppose any unblock request. --Yamla (talk) 13:31, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Shaan Sengupta, I suggest that you make a list of edits that you made that breached your topic ban. It might help you assess how often you did it, and what led you to doing it.

• You did four on 8 January 2025.
• User:Voorts told you in December 2024 that some of your edits on pages to do with cricket and cricketers violated the ban.^[1]
• On 25 November 2024 you made two posts (5 edits) to WP:ANI#... Kannappa and were warned about it here.

There were some earlier ones. -- Toddy1 (talk) 14:27, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Toddy1 What let me do them, I have explained above. You have listed all except the ones that you only made me aware. The creation of my userpage which I nominated for deletion based on your advice. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 14:46, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
