Note

  • Before reporting one or more users here, try to resolve the dispute by discussing with them first. (Exception: obvious vandal accounts, spambots, etc.)
  • Keep your report as short as possible, but include links as evidence.
  • Remember to sign and date all comments using four tildes (~~~~), which translates into a signature and a time stamp.
  • Notify the user(s) concerned via their user talk page(s). {{subst:Discussion-notice|noticeboard=COM:AN/U|thread=|reason=}} is available for this.
  • It is important to keep a cool head, especially when responding to comments against you or your edits. Personal attacks and disruptive comments only escalate a situation; Please try to remain civil with your comments.
  • Administrators: Please make a note if a report is dealt with, to avoid unnecessary responses by other admins.

@Knolagee: please don't come in here as a relatively new arrival telling the administrators what to do. If you really don't understand the difference between what you were doing and what the site is about, I suggest you look around the site a bit. - Jmabel ! talk 01:25, 20 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Probably multiple reasons to block this account, but his threat against User:Taivo in the description of File:The Mains of Balhaldie - Location of the war of Balhaldie.jpg (a file that I just nominated for deletion) should be enough for an indef-block all on its own. - Jmabel ! talk 02:58, 20 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Jmabel You would have been justified in blocking them without bringing it here first.

Also: I'd really appreciate if we can get a quick consensus to delete Commons:Deletion requests/File:The Mains of Balhaldie - Location of the war of Balhaldie.jpg. I suppose I could just delete the nastiness in the description, but I'd rather see the whole file deleted. - 07:19, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

I deleted the userpage as blatant hoax. He claimed there: "He is the current top goal scorer in the Turkish Süper Lig, sitting on 65 goals in 21 games". Scoring more than thrice per every game is impossible. Per en:2022–23 Süper Lig top scorer of that season was Enner Valencia from Fenerbahçe, scoring 29 goals from 36 games.
