UCoC Violation Report: Coordinated Cross-Wiki Harassment and Admin Tag-Teaming (el.wiki / Commons)

Here is the context: During an active, ongoing community discussion (consensus-building) regarding a structural update on the Greek Wikipedia (el.wiki), Administrator A unilaterally deleted the work without prior consensus. When I formally asked them to provide the specific local policy that justified this deletion, they completely avoided the question and refused basic accountability (WP:ADMINACCT).

While this discussion was still active and I was waiting for a policy-based answer locally, Administrator B (acting in clear concert regarding the same dispute) followed my contribution history to Wikimedia Commons and began initiating retaliatory copyright/deletion claims against my uploaded files.

Because this involves a coordinated, cross-wiki retaliation effort by multiple local admins to intimidate an editor after shutting down a local consensus process, I want to ensure I report this to the correct global authority.Ioannis Kouimoutzoglou (talk) 12:00, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
