Hello, I have noticed that you have been blocked for a while, and with no recent unblock requests I am removing you from the Mailing list so that the newsletter does not fill your talk page.

Negotiation to unblock
I have requested to unblock twice, but both are declined. Therefore, I want an admin to WP:NEGOTIATE with the matters related to my block. As I said in my last unblock request, I have changed myself significantly, and will never edit disruptively. I will edit constructively with no vandalism or racism. I also request to blank my userpage for now. --Soumya-8974 (talk) 13:35, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Pinging, the admins involved with my block. --Soumya-8974 (talk) 13:46, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, it's been six months so I am fine with a WP:SO unblock as long as there are significant restrictions, namely topic bans from redirects, Kashmir, and China broadly construed. I'd also like to see an assurance to stay away from anything that may be considered controversial, as controversial topics are an easy way to shorten the amount of WP:ROPE you have left. I'll go ahead and blank your userpage as requested. -- Tavix ( talk ) 14:59, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Time to unblock?
Just reading the Lunar Module Eagle page again, which Soumya created, and was interested in asking for his comment on a question, and saw this block. An editor who had the interest and creativity to began and nurture that page surely is valuable to Wikipedia, and will only get better with time. Please consider enough as being enough, and unblock this editor who was insightful enough to fly with the Eagle. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:49, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

 * , Soumya-8974 is indefinitely blocked, and is not going to be changing the text to avoid COPYVIO, so please just go ahead and delete everything that has been copied; no reason to wait further. You might check their contribution history and run direct checks with Earwig or whatever tool you're using to see if you can find other OCPYVIOs. Good luck, Mathglot (talk) 05:52, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately about 90% of the text is copyvio, might as well be better to nuke it. SHB2000 (talk) 07:40, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , Go for it. It's not unfortunate, it's policy, and there's good reason to nuke the material, or the whole article if you feel that's better. I support either decision. Mathglot (talk) 08:03, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah I'll start a deletion nom soon. SHB2000 (talk) 09:38, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, there might be an easier way than that. Can you post an Earwig (or other) link showing the 90% copied text? If so, then I think we could just PROD the article, link it to this discussion, and then it will get deleted in a week. Or alternatively to PRODding it, just add the Earwig link here, then change the article to a redirect. Save folks at Afd the trouble of a discussion. 19:24, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Please edit the page and not delete it, the topic is easily notable. There are lots of cites from various acceptable sources. Let's see what's left when those sources are checked as back up of the text, including the images which are still good, and then a few edits can polish it up. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 20:40, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , Link to copyvio. Also, I meant 80%, not 90%. That was a typo.
 * But if you think that you guys can rewrite this, then go for it. This isn't my home wiki at all (although I do have a high interest in astronomy), and I barely do stuff here. SHB2000 (talk) 07:00, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Okay. , I removed copied material, moving the refs nearby to the new "Further reading" section, where they can be reapplied by editors who expand the article. Can you double check my work? Here's the result of Earwig at this point: 2%. Mathglot (talk) 07:16, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Unblock request

 * I am not banned, I am blocked by for "Disruptive editing, WP:CIR and racism per Special:Permalink/999244891#Soumya-8974,_again". Soumya-8974 (talk) 14:03, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I disagree; this was pretty clearly community consensus (WP:CBAN) by my investigation. Regardless, no admin is going to unilaterally lift the block. In this situation, they'd risk losing their permissions if they did so. So whether or not you are actually banned, the only path forward is via WP:UNBAN. --Yamla (talk) 14:05, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Since I cannot appeal at the discussion board (I can only edit this page), someone have to do so in behalf of me per WP:UNBAN. --Soumya-8974 (talk) 14:11, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Correct. And you'll need a massively more convincing request in order for that to happen. WP:UNBAN gives specific instructions. --Yamla (talk) 14:19, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

WP:AN thread opened
I have opened a discussion on WP:AN. You can see it at Administrators%27_noticeboard. --Yamla (talk) 11:45, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Unblock request (another attempt)

 * I bet this request is much more convincing than the previous one, adhering the WP:GAB and WP:UNBAN guidelines. --Soumya-8974 (talk) 17:54, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * What, if any, topic bans are you currently subjected to? What, if any, additional topic bans would you adhere to, if the community decided it was appropriate for you to edit again? I ask because you earlier stated you would "avoid major edits on controversial articles" and I believe, but could be mistaken, that it's unlikely you'd be unblocked without a topic ban in the areas you were previously causing disruption. --Yamla (talk) 18:04, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I am currently subjected to a topic ban on creating redirects since March 2020, as I created a lot of useless redirects back then. Editors were then telling to me always to avoid creating too much redirects, and I was reluctant to hear them. Now I promise to hear the feedbacks and take necessary steps to address them. --Soumya-8974 (talk) 18:11, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * If additional topic bans are necessary to unblock, then I will adhere a topic ban on controversial topics like Kashmir, Pakistan, Afghanistan, terrorism, where disruptive edits by me are possible due to lack of competence in those topics. I have no such history of disruptive edits related to astronomy and spaceflight, however. --Soumya-8974 (talk) 18:18, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose. This user has been given many chances to improve, and WP:Standard offer doesn't apply here.. Generally, a disruptive editor would also disrupt other topics as well, and even then, you have shown to repeat your behavior many times. You don't want feedback and improvement, you just want to get in to Wikipedia as soon as possible, and it is likely that is an obvious indicator of insincereness. We don't have to unban you becuse you have an eloquent argument, nor admitting people who drain our soul and will even if they make 100 featured articles. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 19:25, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * While my comments may still sound insincere due to my past behaviours, I have now changed my behaviour since my block due to my participation in other communities. While I may be disruptive in certain topics (Kashmir, redirects etc.), I have never been disruptive on topics about which I have significant knowledge and interest (astronomy, spaceflight). Of course, I am not irreplaceable (since there are several Wikipedians with spaceflight interest), and I am not the centre of Wikipedia either. I am here to volunteerly improve the encyclopedia. --Soumya-8974 (talk) 06:06, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I believe this should be discussed by the community. While I'm currently unsure if I'd support unblocking/unbanning, I think there's enough here for the discussion. I plan to move the request to an admin noticeboard over the weekend. Soumya-8974, given the oppose above, you may choose to have me hold off if you wish. --Yamla (talk) 13:13, 21 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Oppose This user also has CIR issues on other WMF projects as well, such as Wikivoyage and never communicates with us, and to the point where I had to start nominating Soumya's pointless redirects for deletion ( also nominated some controversial Taiwan redirects as well). I've also had to decline numerous file move requests on Commons as well. And what about that copyright violation? SHB2000 (talk) 11:27, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Extremely sorry for these. Besides, I never actually had any will to contribute to travel guides, and I could not realise that the code of conduct in WV is different from WP. Most of my copyvios in Commons were in my early stages of uploading files, now they are little to none. Also sorry for behaving almost like when it comes to redirects. --Soumya-8974 (talk) 14:17, 25 October 2021 (UTC)


 * The disruptions on Wikivoyage were months ago, and I no longer touch Wikivoyage due to the lack of willingness to contribute there. I will try to follow the social and behavioural norms if you kindly give me the last chance to contribute in my primary interest area at least (my primary interest is on spaceflight). I am here to improve an encyclopedia, not a travel guide. --Soumya-8974 (talk) 14:28, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I unilaterally redirected the WT:BBL redirect as I was looking for Babel box for Wiktionary. I have reverted it and address the problem with a makeshift hatnote. --Soumya-8974 (talk) 14:39, 25 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I think you should wait and do something else. If you return 6 months later and being sincere, you might get a second chance. You should edit in your native language wiki as well, to prove that you are not being disruptive as well. Also, please listen to others, since this is one of your major complaints. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 14:34, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Since I don't really like to reveal my native language (although I had revealed it several moons ago), I am reluctant to edit in my native language. I will try Simple English Wikipedia as a proving point instead. --Soumya-8974 (talk) 14:39, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Is it the time to be unbanned?
I have been contributing in Commons for six months since my last unban request in October, with numerous constructive edits. As my enthusiasm towards Wikipedia is surging, I want to know whether it is the time to be unbanned. Soumya-8974 (talk) 13:16, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Frankly, no. There are far, far, far too many warnings over at commons/UT/Soumya-8974/Archive_1. Nor has it been six months since you were last considered for unblocking here. WP:SNOWBALL would apply to any unban request from you at this time. --Yamla (talk) 14:04, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Most of the warnings are from my early days of Commons. If you look at the warnings in 2021 and 2022, you can see that I have strived to solve those warnings. Anyway, I'll wait further and work more in Commons and possibly other projects. --Soumya-8974 (talk) 05:13, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Let me be blunt: your competency has not being proven by your Commons edits. However, I do see that you have improved over time (or it is just because you uploaded less between March and April), so I suggest that an unblock request should be done in early 2023. Not a firm date though... CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 00:06, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, I was less active in March and April as I focused much on my off-wiki activities and I have even thought of leaving the whole Wikimedia for good. However, as I see that there are still some opportunity to improve myself here, I have decided to stay in Wikimedia. Due to my alleged incompetence in English Wikipedia, my unblock request is unlikely and I have formally declared myself as a former English Wikipedian. Soumya-8974 (talk) 14:11, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Unblock request 8 February 2023

 * The WP:UNBAN says that I should use the unblock template, since I'm banned/blocked by English Wikipedia community. --Sbb1413 (talk) 13:20, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes. But it says more than that, doesn't it? --Yamla (talk) 13:21, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * It says "Post an appeal "unblock" template or comment there, by email or other off-site means such as the Unblock Ticket Request System (UTRS), and ask for it to be reposted to the appropriate discussion board. This is a voluntary act and should not be abused or used to excess. Submit an appeal to UTRS and ask an administrator to post it to the appropriate discussion board. This is a voluntary act and should not be abused or used to excess." It means, my unblock request should be posted to the appropriate venue by an admin. Sbb1413 (talk) 13:23, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Your request was for an unblock, not an unban. I'm not convinced you understand the difference between a block or a ban and I have to warn you, that strongly indicates WP:CIR still applies. You didn't ask for it to be copied over to the appropriate discussion board. Take your time. Make sure you get it right, because you will be judged on how you handle your unban request. --Yamla (talk) 13:26, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Should I take yet another six (or so) months before initiating another unban/unblock request or should I repeat the unban request with better wording right now? Sbb1413 (talk) 13:30, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * You haven't made an unban request, you have only made an unblock request so far. Provided you have not edited (the English language) Wikipedia in at least six months (with another account, or while not signed in to an account), you can make your unban request now. --Yamla (talk) 13:34, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Duodecimal
I've recently noticed that there's a COI template in the talk page with my previous username. I had added the template due to my poor understanding of WP:COI back then. Since I never have had any real association with any organization promoting the duodecimal system, the template should be removed. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 13:31, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
