This is the main talk page of the user: Starkex
and the user shall be contacted via this user-forum.
Talks regarding users performance and requests are to be mentioned here such as if the user violated an specific WikiPedia policy.
(Note: The user takes complaints from Administrators Seriously)

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

I see you have ignored your topic ban, continuing to edit mainly about Pakistan (including the article Pakistan!). You didn't ask me anything about the topic ban, or protest in any way: you merely continued editing in the area you had been banned from. Often, I merely warn when this happens, assuming good faith and a misunderstanding; but this is so egregious that I have blocked you for two weeks. This block will be logged in the Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log/2023. You are welcome to continue editing once it expires, but any further violations will lead to longer blocks. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Request reason:

I have made mistake by editing articles related to Pakistan or Subcontinent as a whole because I wasn't conscious of my ban and I thought that Topic-ban and enforcement ban are different things as a result I kept editing further, for now I wish to make my topic ban nullified and now I promise not to engage in further aggressive editing that can lead to further violations and bans.
Thanks. Starkex (talk) 10:00, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

No chance. Asking that your topic ban be nullified is a complete non-starter at this time. Yamla (talk) 11:26, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I wasn't conscious of my actions back then, I apologize if I made any accidental mistakes regarding editing violations during (de-facto) account ban and with my initial ban period being expired, I request a unblock, thanks.

Decline reason:

This account is not blocked. 331dot (talk) 19:41, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The September block of 3 months is because you continued editing despite in violation of the topic ban. Being unblocked due to block expiry does not mean you are not topic-banned. It was an indefinite ban which you need to appeal if you want to continue editing in that area. cc @Bishonen — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 19:34, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, DaxServer. Looking at your block log, Starkex, it doesn't look like you're ever going to respect your topic ban. I don't know if this is because of lack of understanding or what, but every effort has been made to explain to you what a topic ban is. You have been blocked indefinitely. You can still appeal this block in the usual way, and try to explain to the reviewing admin what went wrong this time, and how you are going to make sure that you don't violate the topic ban again. If they're convinced, I don't mind them lifting this block without consulting me. Bishonen | tålk 20:23, 16 January 2024 (UTC).[reply]

@DaxServer @Bishonen

The hell? Sorry if my language irritates you but the recent message up the two articles here, there is a message written by user 331dot citing: "This account is not blocked.", even though I appealed my ban, with that statement I thought my appeal was useless as my block was over, well I didn't know if my block was "indefinite", what is this idiocracy going on here? can you guys atleast refer me the steps of getting out of this block loop? Starkex (talk) 16:52, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'll try one more time. I topic banned you indefinitely from India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan in July 2023, asking you to read the short explanation of what a topic ban is at WP:TBAN, and warning you that if you violated the ban you might be blocked to enforce it. I don't know what more I could have done to demonstrate to you the difference between a ban and a block. Anyway, you immediately went on to violate the topic ban. As a sanction for that, I blocked you for two weeks in August 2023. You appealed this short block in October, several weeks after it had expired, and consequently 331dot told you your account wasn't blocked, because it was by then no longer blocked. (You did not appeal the ban, and you're still banned.) This is my advice at this point: Try reading Difference between bans and blocks. And then appeal my indefinite block, with the usual unblock appeal template {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} and with an explanation that all these things happened because you weren't aware of the difference between bans and blocks, but now you are, and you promise to abide by your topic ban, and would like to please be unblocked. Note, only do this if it's true that you have now grasped the difference, and you understand how it applies to you. If you haven't, and don't, there's nothing else I can tell you.

Getting out of the block loop entails not editing about India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:51, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I wasn't conscious of my actions back then, due to which I made various topic-ban violations by continuously editing and I have realized that if I continue I will be subject to such more bans, with that being said, I humbly request my unban now, thank you.

Decline reason:

This makes no sense. Just because the original block expired does not mean that your topic ban is ended. You still don't seem to grasp that you may not edit about India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. You seem to not know the difference between WP:BLOCK and WP:BAN. You will remain blocked until you grasp not editing about India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Please describe what edits you would make not related to that topic area. Thanks. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:49, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express a concern regarding a section of the article featured on your page. While I appreciate the efforts you have put into maintaining the platform, there is a particular segment within the article that has raised significant concerns. This section references an article from The New York Times that portrays an anti-Pakistan narrative, linking the esteemed DG ISPR's father to Taliban. Such unfounded connections not only pose a threat to the reputation of Pakistan but also undermine the contributions of a distinguished individual. In light of this, I kindly request that you consider removing the aforementioned section to safeguard the integrity of the page against potential vandalism and misinformation. Preserving accurate and respectful portrayals of high-ranking officials is crucial. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I trust that you will take appropriate action to address these concerns promptly. 154.192.18.61 (talk) 07:05, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
