Before you start engaging in drastic or punitive actions it helps to discuss the problem with him first.. Negotiation can be a wonderful tool.
Well, it was maybe a matte of shoot first then ask questions.
I had asked about the situation before from others, and no one seems to know why there were so many deletions and why the article counts were so screwy. Like a hundred thousand words deleted. That wasn't just a few articles with "stubs". And that's only one instance. There are negative new article entries??? What's up with that?
And the complaints from disgusted contributors who kept wondering where were articles that they'd edited? And I've experienced it myself. Sometimes I'd think that they were problems with the software, that perhaps there were upgrades, or shutdowns which required the reloading of a database... and what else... I don't know... no one seems to know obviously.
What I did find was that Jcb was deleting articles. And he did have a bot active on the wiki. So I posted that I was blocking him until the matter could be resolved with the deletions going on in ia.wiki and that's the situation up to now.
Since, Jay B.
