Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

I think your best chance of being unblocked is to take the standard offer, and re-apply in 6 months time with no more abuse of multiple accounts. PhilKnight (talk) 16:31, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Frankly, this looks like you set out to mislead us with regard to your abuse of multiple accounts. Additionally, it looks like every single edit made with this account violated your WP:TOPICBAN. --Yamla (talk) 11:29, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Technical evidence shows no recent block evasion. --Yamla (talk) 22:49, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

Are you able to give me a timeframe as to when a decision will be made? Ker3243 (talk) 16:25, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

No. --Yamla (talk) 17:19, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Hi @Ker3243, please be patient as there is a backlog of unblock requests and they're reviewed by volunteer admins. Your request is visible and will be dealt with as soon as an admin is able.

The Standard Offer explains that it's a good idea to get evidence of productive editing on another project, if you have this I'd recommend adding it below.

You should probably also address the concerns raised by Yamla during your last unblock request in April, since an admin may well ask you for more detail on that. Blue Sonnet (talk) 19:01, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

I can address Yamla's concerns briefly right here. In terms of setting out to mislead people, I can assure you that I had no intention of misleading anyone. As I stated in the past It had been a long time since I had used wikipedia and I had forgotten that I had an old account that was banned. Likewise, I was unaware about a topic ban I had violated. Ker3243 (talk) 14:06, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Hi again and thanks for your reply. If you were unblocked, would you agree to adhere to the same topic ban as before if an admin wanted to reinstate it?

Since I'm not an admin I'm not sure if they would want to do that, but it might help to get that question out of the way in case it speeds up the process a little. Blue Sonnet (talk) 09:12, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

I would be ok with it, but I would hope that it would expire if I were to follow through on that topic ban for a brief amount of time. Ker3243 (talk) 14:09, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) From what I understand, you'd need to build up a significant history of problem-free edits then you could apply for reconsideration, but there's not usually a set timescale.

Trying to go straight back to problematic areas too soon can give the wrong impression, so I'd focus on building up as much experience as you can in other areas & stay far away from anything that could cause concern.

If/when you're unblocked with a TBAN and you've been able to edit constructively for a few months without any problems you might consider asking for a review, but that'd be much further down the line & it's too soon to say anything more than that.

For now the best thing to do is focus on getting the basics sorted out & building up a good edit history. I'll leave the rest to the admins, there's currently a backlog but someone will be along when they can. Blue Sonnet (talk) 15:41, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

@Ker3243, you said above, I apologize for making a new account many years after another account of mine had ben banned from editing. I had forgotten about my other, as I was not using wikipedia for a very long time., but you didn't actually name that old account. Could you do so, please? -- asilvering (talk) 00:18, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

Krao212 Ker3243 (talk) 14:43, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

Wow, that's quite a history on that original account. If/when you re-appeal following the Standard offer, make sure to read through the history of warnings and edits on that account, then explain why you acted that way originally and what's changed in the time that's passed - sockpuppetry breaks trust, which you now need to spend time and effort fixing.

I do sincerely hope that you buckle down and get a good history elsewhere, since there are some incredible editors who had a similar history to yours and were able to overcome it in the same way. I'm sure you don't want to be in this same situation in a year or two.

Good luck! Blue Sonnet (talk) 18:05, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

I've made a new unblock request. If you are willing, please consider adding your thoughts below before making a final decision. Not telling you what to do just asking sincerely Ker3243 (talk) 21:10, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

I have addressed some concerns related to statements about my old account below the new unblock request Ker3243 (talk) 19:08, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Request reason:

Hi! I apologize for my behavior on my old account. I was a lot younger back then and my behavior was much more immature, aggressive, and confrontational. I apologize for my behavior with vanamonde where I called him a neo-nazi. I did this simpy out of frustration as things were not playing out the way I expected. What has changed now is that i'm much older, and know how to move past disagreements without getting aggressive and also learning the humility that there are many perspective that can be valid even if I cannot relate to them. Moving on to violations of topic bans. I violated topic bans at the time because I felt they were unfair. However this feeling was not rational as I did get warnings from Kautilya about not making disruptive edits otherwise I would be sanctioned. I'm aware that there were some times where I used the framing "right wing muslim supremacist" to describe editors that I believed were posting defamatory and false information regarding topics on India/Hindus. I realize now that such comments are innappropriate and unprofessional. I understand that this may not be seen as a credibile explanation, but im hoping to get some feedback on some specific behaviors/edits I made in the past for some clarity. Again requesting the standard offer, Have not made any block evasion attempts for 8 months now.

Decline reason:

Given the recent and consistent disruption, the standard offer is the route forward. You may request an unblock on May 22, 2026 or after and it would be helpful to show a positive history on another project. Star Mississippi 15:51, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

Okay, I'm glad that you're now able to admit that you did knowingly violate the topic bans. But do you care to revise your statement about sockpuppetry? You said It had been a long time since I had used wikipedia and I had forgotten that I had an old account that was banned. This is not a true statement, and I would invite you to make a true one. -- asilvering (talk) 22:21, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

Fine it wasn’t true that I had forgotten about my old account. I didn’t take the time or effort to make an appeal on that account and decided to make a new one since it took far less time and effort. I now realize that behavior was wrong Ker3243 (talk) 12:33, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) It's great that you're being more open just bear in mind that this means you weren't honest with admins only two months ago.

For your own sake, remember that every lie (or lie-through-omission) will add another step to the hill you have to climb to become unblocked.

Unfortunately you've chosen to create a hill for yourself, made it steep through socking, then covered it in slippery mud.

You now have the following choices:

• walk away and do something else,
• make the hill bigger, or
• knuckle down and get climbing.

As a non-admin I can't see whether you've been fully open or not, but I do sincerely hope that you're approaching this honestly and can get unblocked eventually. Blue Sonnet (talk) 20:58, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Fair enough. I’ll start with “knuckle down and get climbing”. I understand the implications and thank you for bringing it to my awareness. I will say for the record however that everything I mentioned in my most recent unblock request was honest. Ker3243 (talk) 21:36, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Glad to help! An admin might still decide to unblock you because it's been a while, but at least this way you're prepared for all possible outcomes ^_^ Blue Sonnet (talk) 15:33, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

Please do not email me

there's nothing in my response that indicates I wish to discuss your block via email. If you do this to others you risk losing access to the wikipedia email system. Star Mississippi 00:58, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
