If you leave a message here I will probably respond here. If I feel it is important for you to get the message, I'll leave a talk back template on your page. If I left a message on your page, I'm probably watching it so you can respond there, though leaving a talk back template on my page is not a bad idea. Also if you're just here to let me know you declined speedy deletion on an article I tagged, don't bother because the page is already in my watchlist. Unless of course if you have something else to say besides the generic message.

Sorry, but Trina has an article. She wasn't wikilinked (is now). I've left the prod, as that does apply.

What is the best way to handle/report an admin that you feel is abusing their power? I searched through several pages and could not determine where is the proper place to report them. The admin I would like to report is User:Pratyeka (who became an admin back in 2003, back when RFA was a lot simpler). On more than one occasion, Pratyeka has restored pages that had been deleted via AFD without without any discussion or fixing the issues with the page, instead acting within his own opinion.

- If you feel you have a solid case, you can report it at the administrators' incident noticeboard. Just out of curiosity - can you provide a few examples (with links) of this behaviour? m.o.p 21:22, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
- Observe Hack Make and Nemerle. Both were nominated for deletion (WP:Articles for deletion/Observe Hack Make and WP:Articles for deletion/Nemerle and the consensus was to delete, but he restored the pages without a DRV or addressing the problems. He also has restored many articles that were deleted via PROD without fixing the problem such as OMAPI. While technically, that is not an abuse of power, it is not a good use of it either. JDDJS (talk) 21:35, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
- To be fair, there was a DRV for Nemerle here, after which Pratyeka brought back the article. However, I can't find anything for Observe Hack Make, and the recreation of that page is troubling because it was done by undeleting old revisions, not starting an article from scratch... which involves using admin tools to overturn a unanimous community decision. So yeah, that's definitely something. We'll see what the discussion at ANI brings. m.o.p 21:53, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
- I was under the impression that he restored it before the DRV, but it looks like he restored it in the middle of it. Still, it is an abuse of admin power to act based on a discussion that is not finished. JDDJS (talk) 22:01, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
