User:EugeneZelenko (DR ban)

From COM:ANU#Time for a ban on DRs and speedy deletions?, there seems to be a general consensus for a 3-month ban on EugueneZelenko from making DRs or SDs. I'm keeping this as short as possible to prevent myself from adding my personal opinions to this message, but could an admin have a look at this and implement this ban? --SHB2000 (talk) 11:09, 17 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

After 72 hours, seriously no response? I should say, though, that I'm a bit disappointed how admins on Commons are essentially shielded from blocks and bans, albeit indirectly. SHB2000 (talk) 09:56, 20 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
and people here want an "arbcom" run by admins...yeah never gonna works and this might just be Exhibit A.. Stemoc 10:11, 20 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Well, that's a perfect recipe for losing long-term editors... SHB2000 (talk) 10:57, 21 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Gestumblindi, Yann, Ellywa, and King of Hearts: Can one of the admins in the original discussion weigh in or take action? Gbawden (talk) 11:53, 21 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Gbawden: If I see this correctly, no technical blocking would be involved for now - as participation in DRs or editing of file description pages except for SDs would still be allowed. So this would basically mean we ask EugeneZelenko "don't make any DRs or SDs for three months from now on", with a block if he doesn't comply? Gestumblindi (talk) 12:30, 21 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Don't ask him not to do it, tell him not to. And it has to be done by an administrator in their official capacity with a message/warning on his talk page. Otherwise, it's just toothless. --Adamant1 (talk) 16:37, 21 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes. This has to be a warning, not just a request. It would make sense for the wording of the warning to include the words you put in quotes, Gestumblindi: Do not do a and b for the next three months, and if following that, you continue to engage in the behavior that users have complained about in the other thread (x, y and z), a block will be imposed. I think that's the consensus. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:21, 22 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • So you want someone to close the other discussion? What does coming here to say "I want someone to close that discussion with a ban on him right now do? You want to start another discussion with support votes for closing that discussion with a ban on him? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:59, 22 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • The other discussion hasn't been closed so starting a separate discussion and wanting people to comment here is precisely the wrong way to handle things. There isn't a "general consensus" and coming somewhere new to state that you have one and want another person to close that discussion for you is why you aren't going to get results. A ban on making DRs or SDs does not require a block or protection so why are you here? You aren't proposing blocking him, you aren't proposing protecting any page and since it hasn't been settled, you can't demand someone block him from doing something he hadn't been banned from doing. Feel free to run to another board and be shocked no one is going to comment in a third or fourth place about the same thing as you just jumping with what you want and make more demands on other people. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:56, 22 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Do you have any sense of how long it's likely to take for any action to happen? I understand your reaction, but when nothing happens, it's understandable for someone to do something to see if there's a way to get attention to move things along. If you think of things using a customer service model, you'll understand. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:20, 23 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Special:Contributions/94.138.255.246, block-evading sockpuppet of User:KC626266

This IP address was just blocked at English Wikipedia following other blocks of IPs in this range over several months there. See en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/KC626266 for the cases and patterns. THe person was blocked here for adding images of numerous phony flags and then embedding them in articles. This user made three edits here today, to Flags of cities of the United States, characteristic of their interest in flags and in manipulating them.
