Ask for blocking

An unknown user repeatedly and with no reason reverts edits of User:JanSuchy in two files - see his activity: [1] Thanks! --PetrS. (talk) 16:16, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

 Done I have warned him and will block him the next time it happens. However, I also put a {{delete}} on File:SVT 137 154 modell Piko a.jpg as it is a copyvio of both the packaging and the model.

And, this page is for discussions about Administrators and their role. For your future reference, the place to request blocks is Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections.

Removal of Administratorship

Is there a process where one can vote to remove admin status from people who are not deemed suitable at all? I am referring to an admin going amok at Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Santon (figurine). Mass deletion requests of this sort without even haveing a look at each file is for me obviously a grave misconduct, and I'd even like to block that user completely. That somebody like that is an administrator is hardly bearable. --FA2010 (talk) 12:34, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

We have Commons:Administrators/De-adminship#De-adminship process as a result of abuse of power. I'll neither recommend nor discourage starting the process for this, though. --whym (talk) 03:18, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Voting

As everyone can check e.g. at Commons:Administrators/Requests/Ralf Roletschek commons crats actually do count neutral votes (14/(14+11) = 56% but 14/(14+11+3) = 50%). Thats why I changed the text on the page. Just in case someone wonders ... a×p_de^Hello! 14:33, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

I don't think you should unilaterally change long-standing policy like that. What you can do is point it out to the crat in question that they're not following the policy. Jafeluv (talk) 19:51, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Also I'm sure you already know about the community consensus on the matter. After all, it was you who started the RFC in the first place. Jafeluv (talk) 20:04, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

I didn't unilaterally change long-standing policy, EugeneZelenko did do that. I was just stating the facts! Why does he still ignore community consensus and noone interferes? a×p_de^Hello! 22:17, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

As I said, I think you're posting on the wrong page. Here's the link: User talk:EugeneZelenko. Jafeluv (talk) 06:13, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

I already told EugeneZelenko to change vote counting, but he didn't change. So what shall I do? Block him for ignoring community consensus? a×p_de^Hello! 17:12, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Another try: User talk:EugeneZelenko#voting a×p_de^Hello! 17:18, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Looks like it's been resolved there. Jafeluv (talk) 09:22, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
