Your topic ban: a proposal

Peeta, I see that as soon as you returned a few days ago from your self-requested block, you again started editing Sikh- and Punjabi-related pages, indeed you have edited little else. This violates your topic ban from Sikh- and Punjabi-related articles pages, broadly construed, per my note from 3 December 2016 above. However... I would rather not block you for it. I'd like for you to be able to edit cinema articles peacefully, if you're able to do it without disruption. Could you explain why you have done things like removing the unreferenced tag from List of Punjabi cinema actors and List of Punjabi cinema actresses? Your edit summary "It's a list" explains nothing. All the actors on the lists have Wikipedia articles, so they're referenced in that sense, yes. But I checked a few of the people you yourself added to List of Punjabi cinema actors, and their biography articles don't state that they're Punjabi or Sikh — they just give the nationality as "Indian". What needs referencing is that they belong on these lists, so removing the unreferenced tag is pretty disruptive, especially while adding more unreferenced names. That is just one example. Please respond below: did you have a good reason for removing the tags? Or, if not, do you understand the problem, and do you think you will be able to avoid such problems in the future, and pay more attention to a) sources, b) the opinions of other editors? I have looked up your appeal of your topic ban here, and I'm really unhappy about the way you describe other good-faith editors' (and often very experienced editors) attempts to argue with you as simply "targeting" you and "bullying" you. If you can explain in a cogent way how you will be able to edit without disruption and without disrespect towards others going forward, and without nationalistic POV-pushing, then I'll be glad to lift your topic ban.

@Bishonen: I'll try editing "peacefully". List of Punjabi cinema actors and List of Punjabi cinema actresses are lists of actors, who have previously worked in Punjabi cinema films. This is not a list of Punjabi or Sikh actors. I still need to go through the lists and make sure every actor listed has worked in Punjabi films.

Peeta Singh (talk) 08:51, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

(Note that the "ping" function doesn't work unless you sign the post.) I think you misinterpret the list, it isn't a "List of actors in Punjabi cinema", it's a list of Punjabi cinema actors. But also, even with your interpretation, you removed the "unreferenced" tag first, and now, afterwards, you say you need to go through the list to make sure everybody's referenced — and the tag is still missing. Your response is altogether unimpressive, as that was just one example, and I talked about other things, such as sources. Look, I'm sorry, but I don't feel I can reward your ban violations by lifting the ban at this time. I do need to see you editing other areas, and learning more about Wikipedia, before I let you loose in the area you feel so strongly about. You are still banned from Sikh- and Punjabi-related pages, broadly construed. Please don't just stop editing: edit other areas, get some practice. Bishonen | talk 08:47, 25 June 2017 (UTC).

@Bishonen:, I have just checked, every actor and actress in the lists have acted in a Punjabi cinema film.

Peeta Singh (talk) 11:18, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

You don't seem to be taking in any of the points I've made. That wasn't one of them. Be sure to respect the topic ban this time, or you will be blocked. I really believe you need more practice in less loaded areas. If you do well there, and especially if you edit without violating your ban, you can appeal again to have the ban lifted — say in six months. Bishonen | talk 12:24, 25 June 2017 (UTC).

Portal Punjab

Hello Peeta Singh. I see you have edited Portal:Punjab today. Are you assuming that Portal Punjab, present on over 40 Punjab related pages, is not itself a Punjabi related page, from which you are topic banned? You seem to me to be playing chicken with administrators. My advice to you is to keep away altogether from Punjabi and Sikh related pages, as you don't seem to have the strength of will to avoid editing them. Apuldram (talk) 13:07, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Arbitration enforcement block

To enforce an arbitration decision you have been blocked forone year from editing.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. Doug Weller talk 15:04, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

I suggest that you spend your time editing other English language Wikipedias (English so that your edits can be read if you appeal, not for any other reason). Note that I am blocking you in my capacity as an Administrator, not as an Arbitrator. If you don't edit before you appeal you won't have given yourself a chance to show that you can edit competently so an appeal would likely be declined. Doug Weller talk 15:03, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Peeta Singh. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Acchar Singh".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
