As per the discussion at COM:AN/User problems, there seems to be a clear consensus to run a de-sysop vote following Fanghong's wheelwarring actions described in the section previously linked. Fanghong's only response to this troubling behaviour was here, which falls short the accountability an admin is expected to have for their actions. Of particular concern is an administrator stating that they are not a frequent Commons user and having them continually wheel-war by repeatedly restoring their own copyvio uploads. The conduct of this user demonstrates that they are ignorant of our processes and such behaviour is unbecoming of an administrator of the project. Jon Kolbert (talk) 19:36, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

•  remove As I mentioned at ANU, wheel warring is a bright-line. One of the few things admins should never ever do. Period. That enough is grounds for removal in my mind. --Majora (talk) 20:16, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

•  remove Fanghong wrote on AN/U "I am not a frequent user in coms" which seems to be true (User not familiar with policies including coypright and the best practices here at Wikimedia Commons). So it is safer if we remove the tools. --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:58, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
•  remove For all the reasons stated above. Ellin Beltz (talk) 17:07, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
•  remove per above. Wheel-warring is inappropriate and failure to heed warnings shows they have no interest in discussing what's best for the community. Jianhui67 ^T★C 17:33, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
•  remove What I find striking about this case is that his behavior parallels that of many new users who repeatedly re-upload deleted files. I don't view this as a case of admin abuse, but rather someone having advanced tools and next to no experience with our procedures. If he becomes active on Commons, learns the rules, and spends some months helping, I'd be open to a new RFA. Guanaco (talk) 21:51, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
•  remove - Wheel warring is something you never do!, Their response over at ANI is poor to say the least, Going forward I have no confidence in them as an admin and so I fully agree with the nominator and all of the editors above me. –Davey2010^Talk 18:30, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

• @EugeneZelenko: As the only still active contributor of the three who voted in the original RFA twelve years ago. --Fæ (talk) 20:43, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
  • I think the RFA is perfectly understandable in the 2005 context. Those days the whole user interface was translated sentence by sentence locally on every wiki in the mediawiki namespace and admin rights were needed to edit them. Jcb (talk) 21:23, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Effectively processes this old fall under a norm of limitations. The ping is intended as a courtesy, not questioning the RFA. --Fæ (talk) 07:17, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

It appears resignation is imminent.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 01:27, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Imminent? I think that is the resignation. By the way.. "do not remove others' legitimate content."[1]

I think that was the result of an edit conflict somehow, not bad faith. In that response they said "I am not a frequent user in coms and not seen UDR close reasons on time thought have to up again and make a mistake. sorry!" which I'm reading as "I am not a regular on Commons, I didn't see the reason for deletion in time and thought I had to reupload, this was a mistake. Sorry!". This apology wasn't really welcomed, so if I were them I would shut up too.. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 02:32, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

@Guanaco: I'm sorry if I misinterpreted that edit. I would expect a responsible editor to claim an edit conflict if that was the case.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 02:51, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
