The 2025-26 Steward Confirmations are an opportunity for the Wikimedia community to comment on the performance of existing stewards. To make the process as smooth as possible, the confirmations are organized as follows.
To comment, please log in with an account that has edits (on any wiki) before 06 February. During the 2025 Elections, please mention if you are comfortable or unhappy with the use of steward tools of any of the people listed below and why.
After the election, stewards (including the newly-elected ones) are invited to review the confirmation comments and to give their impression of the outcome (consensus to confirm/remove etc.) on Talk:Stewards/Confirm/2025 for every steward who stood for confirmation. Of course, they are not required to do this for every candidate and will be especially careful to do it regarding someone about whom they expressed strong opinions in the confirmation. Non-steward comments are welcome outside of the "Final Decision" section, subject to the usual expectations of civility. Confirmation discussions will last one week after the appointment of the newly elected stewards. This may be extended to two weeks for one or more confirmations at the discretion of the Election Committee if the committee believes further input is required before concluding. The Election Committee will close these discussions and implement the outcome (which also means making a decision in non-obvious cases).
All stewards elected before February 2025 will undergo this process.

- Personal info: Hello everyone! I have served as a steward from 2014-2020, and again from 2024 to present. Over the last year, I have focused on responding on the various steward requests pages, and fall in the middle range of stewards by activity. Since the end of the summer I have also served on the U4C, and while I am slightly over-extended in my current wiki-obligations, I think it is useful to have an (active) steward on the U4C. I am also one of the more active stewards in our regular engagement with the WMF on various topics, including temporary accounts. With your support, I would be happy to continue to serve as a steward for this next year, and I am also happy to respond to any questions or hear any concerns you may have (including those privately raised, either through email or on Discord). Thanks for your consideration, – Ajraddatz (talk) 00:36, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

- Personal info: Hello everyone! This is my first confirmation as a steward, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for the trust given to me. I have not been as active as I would have liked, mainly because all of our request queues have been quickly emptied, even faster than my mouse can click. Despite this, I am (almost) always available and I try to solve all demands that are presented to me, whether on-wiki or off-wiki, whether complex technical issues or simple doubts, whether participating in meetings with the foundation, or just responding to messages via Telegram. ━ Albertoleoncio Who, me? 13:43, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Remove Per above, 86 steward-related actions in the past year (not counting renames as you were a renamer prior to being a steward). While I understand that timezone issues might cause a user to not use their rights actively but from Special:Log/globalauth/Albertoleoncio, your usage of gbl lock is essentially just once a month when SRG are sometimes filled with several "easy-to-close" requests. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 06:18, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
Remove, regretfully, due to the low number of actions, but I would welcome a future request when you'll be able to be more active. --KonstantinaG07 (talk) 14:46, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
Keep, albeit less strong than other votes. After a lot of extra thought, and given the arguments and additional information by Vermont and Ajraddatz, I'll change my initial vote; there's indeed a valid explanation for the activity level, other stewards have confirmed participation in internal channels, and at the end of the day there's nothing else that would make me lose confidence to you. In my original vote I said I would most probably welcome/support a future request, but there's no obvious benefit for the community and the project not to give that chance now instead. I'm covered by your response below. Good luck. KonstantinaG07 (talk) 00:17, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Albertoleoncio: what actually have you done as a steward? There's a lot that wouldn't show up publicly, and the stuff you've done seem to fall into that category. More detail would be helpful. Leaderboard (talk) 15:29, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Leaderboard: The problem is that I don't have "numbers" to present, which is what the community expects me to present, and unfortunately, I don't have them. But that doesn't mean I'm inactive, quite the opposite, but I end up just doing more complicated tasks. Two simple but illustrative examples: EPIC once complained about a page that was impossible to delete because of a database error (task T365482), but I went to solve it. An administrator of a small project asked me to delete almost a thousand pages, and I went to solve it. Again, I know a lot more was expected of me, but I focused on what I thought was most useful, even if it didn't generate as many stats. ━ Albertoleoncio Who, me? 20:33, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Weak keep. I have talked in private with Alberto regarding this application, and I took in consideration his position of acknowledging that activity last year was not adequate. However, as it was his first year and as he actually acknowledges that is an issue and is willing to improve it, I would consider keeping. He is careful with sensitive information, dilligent with his actions, and I see no harm on giving him another try.—Teles «Talk ˱C L @ S˲» 15:44, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- I'm leaning towards a weak keep per Teles above and as their activity has been just about sufficient, although not that high. I'll probably be coming back here if I have a final opinion. EPIC (talk) 15:51, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- Per below and what I've already commented I'm also leaning towards a
Keep. Activity has been low, but also consistent, and as Johannes has stated, there isn't just the Meta-Wiki logs - they've sometimes participated in private communication channels and other steward work outside of Meta as well. All in all I think one of the main issues were that Alberto never really got started in the way that the others did and therefore mainly focused on activity related to their home wiki. I'm willing to give them another chance this year, because even though they haven't been that active in steward work, they are helpful when they are active, and the keep !voters overall bring up strong arguments. The worst that I think can really happen is the activity not increasing, and worst that I think can happen in that scenario is removing their tools next year. EPIC (talk) 21:34, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Sorry.
Keep WhitePhosphorus, Vermont, Giraffer, Sdrqaz and others make very compelling points. I still trust you and all of your actions have been appropriate. --Ferien (talk) 16:27, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Remove --cyrfaw (talk) 14:42, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
Keep, and somewhat strongly. I can understand the minimal on-wiki actions this year - it has not been a great year to learn how to be a steward, with very few entry-level requests available as a result of EPIC handling a majority of requests with very short response times. Albertoleoncio has remained active on his home wiki, where he is still a functionary, and for this year I think an exception is best. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 15:32, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
Keep - per Vermont, this was a bad year to be a new steward. Absent any signs of lack of trust, I think they should be given another chance. – Ajraddatz (talk) 15:34, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Question: assuming you are confirmed this year, what would you do different/which areas would you focus on? --KonstantinaG07 (talk) 16:46, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- @KonstantinaG07: I'm not going to promise something like "I'll do x actions by y amount of time", that's something that requires me to... compete(?) with other stewards, which isn't good for anyone or anything. I like working collectively, and that is what I intend to focus on more: taking more part in discussions (internal and external) and, at least, trying to fill the gaps left by stewards who unfortunately left the group recently. ━ Albertoleoncio Who, me? 00:00, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Keep. Though I usually only vote in confirmations for stewards I'm familiar with, I think that removal here would be a mistake. It's Albertoleoncio's first year and I haven't seen any concerns about the actual quality of actions, which should be the more important thing. Given his self-awareness and Vermont's arguments (something I've wondered about too), I'm willing to let him have another year and see what happens in next year's confirmation. Sdrqaz (talk) 17:05, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
Keep Albertoleoncio handled less visible tasks, stayed active locally, and showed good judgment. Removing him now feels premature. Give him another year to prove himself. XXBlackburnXx (talk) 17:22, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
Keep. Multiple people qualified to properly assess Albertoleoncio's activity (Teles, Vermont, Ajraddatz) believe that another year would be better than removing. Given the absence of any obvious downsides, I'm happy to trust them on that. Giraffer (talk) 17:36, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
Keep Per Giraffer. I don't see any harm in giving him another chance. -kyykaarme (talk) 17:53, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- Some remove comments appear to be based on metawiki logs which don't show the whole picture. Alberto has given two examples [1], I can easily remember more, e.g. doing hundreds of deletions at tewiktionary [2] and fawiktionary [3].

Weak keep- Hasan (talk) 17:37, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
Keep. I really disagree with the current community ethos of ditching people if they don't see a fancy number of their log entries. This feels like shareholders hounding CEOs for quarterly earnings, and this directly incentivizes everyone to scramble for repetitive, no-brainer tasks for a healthy "financial" report with "company" growth (and no shade to those doing them – they are very important, and I appreciate their service!). While I don't know the candidate personally, judging by their statement, logs, and the comments above, I get the sense they have genuinely tried to do good work their first year, and the community's trust remains. That's enough for me. I'd recommend giving them another year. Maybe for the next confirmation, the candidate can provided a detailed breakdown of your accomplishments like this in the statement for better visibility. --WhitePhosphorus (talk) 19:33, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
Weak keep Moral keep. --نوفاك اتشمان (talk) 11:20, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Keep Inactivity causes no harm; bad activity does. Moreover, there are plausible explanations for the inactivity as per e.g. Vermont. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:36, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
Keep They are clearly active in the areas where are able to be. Alberto is pretty active in Wikisource groups, on his own wiki and GS related work (and apparently in internal communications for stews). I don't see him being inactive, but rather active in the areas he previously had experience in. Raw log numbers should not be the end-all-be-all of steward reconfirmations.

Remove per Stinger. AramilFeraxa (talk) 21:43, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
Keep There are people that I trust that have vouched for the activity. The more stewards we have, the less tasks each steward will have to do unless they're chronically refreshing the requests pages or VRT queues, and if people highly involved in training new stewards are saying that it was a dogshit year to learn unless you want to throw people into high complexity situations, then I trust them fundamentally and I trust Albertoleoncio to find his niche in his second year. We have a similar situation on English Wikipedia with how there's rarely any easy deletions because of very deletion-heavy admins snatching them all quickly. Sennecaster (talk) 22:50, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

- Personal info:
I'm AmandaNP, and this is my 4th steward confirmation. I have worked over the past year to continue to make an impact with almost 6000 actions this year, particularly in proxy blocks or spam-level networks. This past year, my work has started moving toward being more on an advocacy level and providing advice on years of experience. I will note my activity has dropped this year, especially as of late because of a role at my job that I started at the start of the last steward election. I'm starting to roll into a comfort into the role, and hope to have more activity within the next few months. In the meantime, my role will focus on contributions that push quality over quantity, and assist in the onboarding of new stewards, guiding the existing path, and helping driving the future. -- Amanda (she/her) 07:04, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
At this point in time, I appreciate the support I may get to continue as a steward. A lot of my steward work has become advocacy work due to the nature that the work is changing, and while that is normally a very engaging topic for me, other parts of my life are draining that battery to have the energy to do it to start. It can be evidenced by edits not even making it to 25 last month. I also had to lay question to the imposed 31 January deadline for this statement. It's not fair to the community that I continue on this year, with no date in which things will improve. I hope to run in future years, but this year, I will not be running for confirmation. -- Amanda (she/her) 02:18, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

- Personal info: Hello! I was elected as a steward in 2022, this is my third confirmation. My activity this year has continued to focus on response to active abuse, as well as helping with VRT and ACC requests. I am also an active and regular participant in the monthly steward meetings, the mailing lists, and other discussion spaces. Since last year, I became an administrator of the Wikimedia Community Discord server and now serve as its coordinator. Due to a combination of external factors, it is difficult for me to make forward-looking statements about the next year, but I hope to remain active. With the community's support, I would be glad to continue to serve as a steward. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 00:45, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

- Personal info: Hello. This seems to be my sixth confirmation.
This year my activity was even worse than before, mostly due to my personal circumstances changing for the worse because of having a very unstable internet access both in actual connectivity availability and in ability to utilise it when available, all of which is the result of my country taking away a bunch of my human rights and forcing me to be where I do not want to be and do the job I do not want to do.
When I can, though, I still try to keep my finger on the pulse of the Wikimedia world, and that includes the steward bit. In those few actions that I did do this year, which are SRP, SRGP actions, some responses to off-wiki requests and information and I think I also participated in one of the stewards—WMF calls and occasional input on stewards' role in public Wikimedian centred chats, I do see value, as I feel like my experience around some areas, especially permissions management, as well as my better connection to some of the language communities (mostly intersecting with Mykola7), is helping the communities. My return to a more reasonable activity is now even more dependent on the change in the circumstances my country is facing, it is up to the community to decide whether it makes sense to tolerate it as it is now or not.
As always, be I confirmed or not I would still be around Meta and steward-related things.

Keep. Last week, in the middle of the night, a vandal had fun on UkWiki. I couldn't block they because I was logged out and didn't have my 2FA device with me. So I pinged Base in the Discord, and he reacted after 15 minutes. In emergency cases, we can count on him, and yes, the situation in the country leaves much to be desired, so his low activity is understandable. --❄️Mykola❄️ 16:23, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

- Personal info: Hello everyone. This will be my 14th year of being a steward and my 13th confirmation. This past year I have been focused (along with my peers) on handling the threats the Wikimedia projects face which include crosswiki vandalism and spam (which has been increasing). I have been plenty active as a steward these past 14 years and plan to continue.

- Personal info:
- Hi again, I’ve been a steward since 2007 and changed my field of work a couple of times. Nowadays, my main focus lies on supporting the governance the group which mainly takes place in the background. For example, since my last confirmation I served in the Steward Election Committee, reviewed candidates for some Wikimedia Foundation committees, held presentations about steward-related activities, joined several meetings with WMF staff and tried to be available on all communication channels (IRC/Discord, email, stewardwiki, …).
- Furthermore, I'm co-contact for the Wikimedia Stewards User Group whose annual report of the group I wrote for which I have to be up to date in all fields of Stewards’ works. In this role, I have represented the group at the Wikimedia Summit 2024 and Wikimania 2024 where my long-time commitment as a Wikimedia Steward was recognized as the 2024 Wikimedia Laureate of the Year. You can read more about my steward work in this related Diff blog post.
- My other field of work is also one of those that is often not completely visible in public logs: When I am around and find an obvious or familiar long-term abuser, I try to be quick and stop them immediately. This often affects activities that have to be suppressed and therefore are not publicly logged. Although this is not my main focus area, I'm still performing some hundreds of logged actions on Metawiki, loginwiki checkuser actions and suppressed actions per year and try to support my colleagues who are more active there. My main focus as an active contributor to Metawiki where I'm holding some additional rights, are CentralNotice banner campaigns.
- Altogether, I'm filling some of the gaps and bring in some expertise from the early years and good connections to WMF as well. It'd be my pleasure to continue this service for another term in my 20th year in the Wikiverse.

- Personal info: I've been a steward since the elections last year. I found myself having quite a hard time getting to know stuff in the beginning, one of the reasons being that I didn’t have any functionary experience, and I made quite some mistakes because contrary to how I had planned I had taken too quick of an approach, but I feel that the more time that has passed the more familiar I have become with the toolkit and stewarding in general.
With that being said I've been one of the most active stewards this year and performed over 60,000 actions in total, and I’ve been the steward with the most loginwiki checks this year. Most of my usage of the tools has went towards helping at Steward requests pages, as well as handling IRC requests and emails sent to the VRT oversight queue. I'm also one of the list owners of the global renamers' mailing list, and therefore I also help out in that end.
I had thought a lot about whether to run for confirmation or not, but I believe I've proved the opposition in my initial candidacy wrong and continue to find myself making good use of the tools, and I'm willing to continue serving for another year if the community wants it that way. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns you want me to respond to. EPIC (talk) 00:00, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- Do you still believe that stewards do not have to treat wikis on which they are full administrators as home wikis? I notice that you have also granted Oversight to someone on Wikidata while having been an administrator there since 2023. Sdrqaz (talk) 14:01, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- I explained the most of it on that page but I'll do so again. Simply, I do not see Wikidata as a home wiki and I am not as active there as I once was. The only wiki I would have seen as a home wiki is svwiki, for which I have refrained from taking actions. With that being said, if there is any wiki that the community does not want me to perform actions on I will simply respect that, and after that discussion I decided to not perform future steward actions related to Wikidata, which I haven't done since then either (except for two resignations which fall under the clear cut cases). EPIC (talk) 14:15, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- On a second note regarding the question, there's no solid definition of a home wiki; but for stuff like this I would say it depends on multiple factors, e.g. activity on that wiki and which "community" it is. EPIC (talk) 18:30, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- I will be
Neutral here, barely (mainly on the strength of EPIC's general work and pragmatically because his commitment on Wikidata kind of gets to the same result). Disregarding EPIC's adminship on Wikidata for a moment, I don't think that it is a good idea to continue insisting that a project where he spent equal time with Swedish Wikipedia is not a project where he is considered an active community member. Even if that was in the past, appearances of impropriety matter when you're in a position of power, and I'm not sure he gets it (this may be part one of Ajraddatz's concerns). Even if something can be done, maybe it isn't wise to do it; sometimes privileged users need to err on the side of caution when using their permissions.PS: I've looked through what I can for Ajraddatz's concerns and it does seem like EPIC did close some SRGP requests early: one 19.5 hours early and two requests a few minutes early (A09, Syunsyunminmin). While looking through the requests, there were a lot that were closed "on the dot" or within five minutes. Those aren't issues in themselves, of course, but please be careful: not everything needs to be done immediately. Sdrqaz (talk) 23:15, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for the thoughts.
- As for the SRGP requests, there was indeed a request which I closed almost way too early, which was because of me being dumb and misreading the closure date, which I thought was the same day I closed that discussion. When I did realize some time later there was basically no reason to re-open it anymore and therefore nothing new that happened on that end either. EPIC (talk) 23:43, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

- Building off of Sdqraz's question, I have concerns about what happened here. It seems like Epic used his position as a Steward to ignore a local policy he disagreed with on a wiki he holds advanced rights on in order to do a favor for another Steward. In that conversation Epic stated he wished to avoid a repeat of a situation where admin was removed and the community then voted it back after the person indicated they wanted to continue. I would suggest that shows Wikidata reasonably making decisions as a community - something I would like Stewards to respect - and further more if that's what he wanted to avoid, as a member (and admin) of the community he should have sought to reform the Wikidata process, something he still hasn't done. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:03, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- Some time after that had occured a local RfC was opened to let bureaucrats locally remove admin rights, which I supported and it was ultimately successful. As such, I'm fine with how that turned out and there wasn't really anything else for me to do on that end. All that being said I do think we handled it poorly and the request should have just been processed no questions asked - the reason I waited because another steward had asked Martin a question regarding the request and I didn't really want to override that. After the occurred I chose both to refrain from handling requests related to Wikidata, and to just process inactivity related requests without any leeway, as long as they are correct and in accordance with the local policy - as far as I've been made aware of there doesn't seem to have been any other issues on that end. As Mykola also stated in that same discussion I'm also a strong proponent of inactivity removals, which was demonstrated e.g. from Steward_requests/Permissions/2025-01#Luki@barwiki as well. EPIC (talk) 16:13, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- With respect, the change to crats removing just means you are no longer in a position to stop implementation of a policy you disagree. My last sentence is about the idea that rather than using your power as a steward in the first place to ignore a local policy you should have sought to change the policy as a community member and/or done nothing at all as a steward. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:29, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- To clarify I'm not really in objection to the inactivity policy, for the most part I wanted to avoid a Mike Peel situation and overriding another steward. With the crats having the ability to remove sysops I didn't feel like there was anything else to change. It's them who are responsible for enforcing the inactivity policy, which I am happy with.

Keep very active, especially in areas that require constant work. Only feedback would be to look in to ways to document some locks/blocks better (e.g. on cuwiki or otherwise) - to aid in appeal reviews. This is something many of us could work on, and only is noticed here as a function of the high volume work being performed. (Thus you may be a unique position to lead a solution). To be clear, EPIC is always responsive to questions about any of this and I have no concern about him being accountable. — xaosflux Talk 16:28, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- From the outside, EPIC certainly does a lot of good work. But I'm afraid I have a couple of pretty serious concerns here, and while I'm not going to specifically oppose the confirmation, I would like to see some improvement in these areas over the next year.
- The first is collaboration. Others have noted a couple of examples above, but the bulk of this feedback is related to EPIC's discussions with other stewards through private channels. When EPIC thinks they are right, they dig in and refuse to accept any other perspectives, regardless of the number of other stewards telling them they are wrong. In my mind, one of the key qualities that stewards should have is a collaborative mindset - please consider taking feedback from others into account and acknowledge it, even and especially if you disagree with it.
- The second is activity. While it is true that EPIC does a large amount of good work, his sheer volume of actions poses a number of problems. Without getting too much into discussions on how healthy it is for someone to be monitoring steward request pages for 20 hours a day, I think it creates a very unhealthy culture for other stewards, who often need to rush to try and action requests before EPIC can get to them (which usually happens within minutes). This leads to mistakes and a lack of oversight, as most stewards simply avoid the requests pages now. I've also noticed EPIC closing requests on SRGP before the closing time has even been reached, which seems like an attempt to make sure he "gets" the action to me. His repeated actions on homewikis also falls into this basket - there are 32 stewards, there is no reason that you need to be actioning requests on wikis where you are an admin. Any requests. Please consider reducing your activity in a lot of these areas, to give other stewards a chance to get experience and to return to a healthier culture that acknowledges that these requests often do not need to be actioned in three minutes.
- Overall I have been pretty disappointed with the quality of EPIC's work and his interactions with others over the last year. I really hope he takes this feedback into account and improves in the coming year. This won't be new to EPIC, I have expressed these concerns (as have others) multiple times this year, but I think it's important for the community to know what is happening behind the scenes too. – Ajraddatz (talk) 16:45, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- I'd like to respond to this as I do take these concerns seriously.
- On the collaboration point I've done the best I can - it can happen that I might become a bit frustrated if it's too much for me, but I try to keep it calm and to be cooperative. I've asked several questions and second opinions when unsure about something - these are sometimes responded to but often not, which can be a factor at several times. If I then perform that action after having received no response, I assume there are no objections to that - and receiving negative criticism regarding that after the occured can, of course, be frustrating, as I have already given others a chance to comment at that point, which can be part of the problem. I do think I've gotten better over time with handling such stuff - most of the feedback I've received regarding that, at least in recent times, has been mostly rare, but I do of course accept such feedback and take it into account.
- On the activity point, most of what you are referring to has been months ago and is outdated. I've done several measures to give other stewards a better chance to do more stuff, most notably in recent times, on pages such as at SRG, if they want to, and I also don't action as many reports/requests as I used to in previous months. We now have several stewards working on requests sent to that page, such as Bsadowski, but this was not previously the case. At some times, mainly in the first half of the year, I had been the only steward monitoring SR pages and at such times, especially for unclear or potentially controversial cases, I've given well of a chance for colleagues to action on or comment on requests, but since the other stewards hadn't been doing stuff there, it ended up being me who did most of it anyway, including some unclear cases. Other than that the other main factors as to why I've continued to be active are mainly two; one, I enjoy doing steward work and assisting others and it's a good way for me to pass time, and two, I'd like to avoid the previous backlog situation the stewards had in previous years, such as in 2023. Overall I've just wanted to do both the community and fellow stewards a favor from my end; the situation in previous years has been a mess and has delayed both response times and other stewards' willingness to handle the large backlogs, and that's what I want to avoid having again. With the "home wiki" actions part I assume you are referring to the Wikidata situation, and I've already responded to that above; that is the only "home wiki" related steward action that I know of/remember, and I've already declared that I have not seen Wikidata as a homewiki, but I chose to refrain from Wikidata related stuff, even though it's rare. As for the SRGP part it's mainly just a coincidence or a mistake (such as misreading the closure date) if I happen to close it just a bit too early. With that being said those cases have been quite rare as far as I know, and none in "recent" times.
- In short, some of what's being mentioned is true and I take full accountability for it, but much of it has been older stuff and I see myself as having improved from it. As such I do not see it as something to "make a mountain out of a molehill" over, but I try my best to take concerns (both from the community and from other stewards) into account, which I think has gotten better for me over time. Other than that the feedback for my work, both from the community and from other stewards' side, has been mostly positive. EPIC (talk) 17:33, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for the response; while I think we may disagree over how recent these issues were or are, I do think that this presents a more measured response to concerns that it felt like you blew off in the past. I have no doubt you'll be confirmed and look forward to continuing to work with you, and appreciate that you will continue to give these subjects some thought. – Ajraddatz (talk) 22:46, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

- I am going to echo the concerns raised by Ajraddatz and others. There have been uncountable instances where I have responded to an IRC ping and see the StewardBot lock notification from EPIC before I've had the chance to get CentralAuth open, much less read any diffs or otherwise investigate the report. Stewards are expected to be careful and deliberative, and to not rush into situations that don't require urgent action. I have also noticed the lack of documentation for actions Xaosflux mentions. I also share the concerns about homewiki actions: it is unacceptable and unnecessary to be making user rights changes on a wiki where you yourself hold advanced rights. As long as you hold sysop on a project, it is a home wiki, and I am disappointed that EPIC continues to argue otherwise. While I am also not specifically opposing at this point, I hope and expect to see improvement on these issues over the next year. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 21:55, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- Could you elaborate on the IRC stuff? Most of the IRC pings where I respond quickly have been oversight requests, which should be quickly handled most of the time (since it regards sensitive info). If/when it regards me quickly processing global block/lock requests, it's generally either clear-cut cases (for example easily recognizable LTAs such as HoY) or that I coincidentally lock/block at the same time as an IRC report is submitted. In general one of the purposes of us having an IRC channel for steward requests is namely for requesting actions that should be quickly processed, and that's also why we refer such requests to IRC, and routine/less urgent requests to one of the public request pages.
- On the home wiki topic I won't say much more than I've already explained (hopefully that should cover most of it) - if the community's definition of a home wiki is holding sysop or other rights there, I'll respect that and won't perform steward actions related to them. With that being said, the only such wiki in my case (discounting test wikis which one would not reasonably count as a real community or a home wiki) would be Wikidata, where I've already stated I won't perform steward actions.
- What I will add, however, that I didn't add previously, is that one of the main reasons I did perform such actions, other than me not seeing it as a home wiki, was that I had seen other stewards do the same with no concerns addressed over it, such as Steward_requests/Permissions/2024-01#Ash_Crow@wikidata which was processed by a user holding sysop rights on that wiki (but whose main home wiki is another community), and I therefore reasonably assumed that both the community and fellow stewards saw that as normal and didn't object to it. That makes it kind of a double standard which is why I had partly seen the criticism as somewhat unjustified, though I still understand them and agree with much of it. EPIC (talk) 22:27, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- And about the documentation stuff, I've seen myself as having used e.g. CU wiki more with time, which any local CU or steward could confirm as well, but I mainly use it for more unclear cases where more explanation might be required, or for longer term storage of CU data for future use. Other than that, most of the explanations to my locks/blocks are on SRG (where the lock/block is processed as a result of a report there), in CA as a result of local blocks, and/or in the lock/block summary. With that being said, if there are any cases which may be more unclear (in case of VRT/UTRS appeals for example), one can simply leave me a talk page note (with something like "hello, could you please respond in this ticket") and I'll simply provide more information. EPIC (talk) 22:52, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- EPIC, when I say that your collaboration has some elements to be desired, this is what I mean. Your responses often go straight to a point by point response to criticism without actually engaging with the core point. Just engaging with the homewiki issue for a second here, you are referencing one case where another steward did something similar as justification for why you have done repeated actions on your homewikis, but you haven't engaged with why this case might be different. Maybe the steward in the other case, being more experienced, is more trusted to take such action in some circumstances without others being worried? Maybe that action was also in the wrong, but nobody noticed it or was concerned enough to comment? Maybe someone raised the issue privately rather than publicly? My point is that there is a lot of nuance to steward actions and applications of policy, and I'm concerned that you don't see that.
- I also want to quickly note another example of you recently changing permissions on a homewiki: Steward requests/Permissions/2025-02#LucieManette@svwiki. Again, this action isn't highly problematic and the community has generally been receptive to uncontroversial removals following a self-request on a homewiki in the past, but why did that need to be done by you? You've handled over half of the requests on this month's SRP archive so far. Why not tell the user to file on SRP (or file on their behalf) and let someone else handle it? And to be clear, I don't want a paragraph justifying why you did that, I want some sort of indication that you understand how some of your actions are being perceived as problematic. – Ajraddatz (talk) 01:21, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- I do understand that home wiki related actions are of concern to some, as the possibilities of COIs exist and they might not seem entirely uncontroversial, regardless of the circumstances, and I believe that is also why such actions are being brought up here. As for the svwiki case, the user in question had already left the project and explicitly pinged two stewards (one of them being me), so asking them to place an SRP request wouldn't have done much, and removal was per a self-request and therefore otherwise permitted by policy.
- I didn't engage in why the other Wikidata case was different because they weren't visually different, and both cases involved inactivity removals per the same policy and by two stewards with sysop rights on the same wiki. I would like to note that that specific case isn't my sole justification for the Wikidata actions, but also other similar such actions from other stewards as a whole and the reasons I've already mentioned here. But if we bring that specific action up again, Martin is indeed more experienced as a steward than I am and it can therefore also be assumed that he also has a better knowledge of the steward policies and other steward practices. Considering that one of the main ways new stewards learn stuff is from watching other stewards' work and taking their advice, I would find it unfair to consider the actions "weird", and as Sdrqaz already put it, the inconsistencies that might occur when another steward performs the same action under the same circumstances are frustrating. At the same time I indeed think that I did not handle some cases well, such as my part in the September 2024 issue - it was first there and then that the concerns were brought up to me and it was then that I first realized that some of my actions had been, well, not very good. So yes, I do take accountability for much of the stuff that's been brought up here, and this all combined with what I've already brought up on this page should be enough of an indication. EPIC (talk) 21:44, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- I understand that the homewiki issue and inconsistencies are frustrating (they are frustrating to me too; I've been told that some stewards are OK with bending the rule while I would rather that people didn't go anywhere near it). In my review of the Wikidata log after our September conversation, I noticed that January 2024 action but did not mention it at this year's confirmation because it was before this term and there were no other Wikidata changes by them this term. I had a clearer example of a homewiki this term that I did mention. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:27, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- And about the documentation stuff, I've seen myself as having used e.g. CU wiki more with time, which any local CU or steward could confirm as well, but I mainly use it for more unclear cases where more explanation might be required, or for longer term storage of CU data for future use.

Thank you for your consideration.

As much as I would love to continue, I will step down this year. I thought I was able to resume my usual activity quickly. Unfortunately, the problems that made me unable to be active persist and multiplied, alongside some health-related issues that I have been burdened with for almost a decade but progressed over the past year. However, I still intend to continue helping in other areas.

- Personal info: Hello! I am a Wikimedian since 2008 and a steward since 2014. In addition to my on-wiki work, I am or have been active in several other areas around Wikimedia, including volunteer software development (user scripts, MediaWiki extensions, …) and work on Wikidata.
In addition to my volunteer activities, I'm employed by Wikimedia Germany as a software developer for Wikidata.
Last year, I have primarily processed requests for global locks and blocks and participated in small wiki monitoring and spam fighting, helping smaller communities clean up after spam bots and vandalism. This year, I plan to to keep up my work on handling the backlog of global lock and block requests, while also dedicating time to volunteer software development for steward related MediaWiki extensions, tools, and my user scripts.

Since being elected last year, I performed ~9,000 publicly logged Steward actions, performed ~750 checks on loginwiki, closed ~1,200 Steward VRT tickets (excluding a mountain of spam/junk), and closed many global UTRS appeals. I have routinely provided feedback to the WMF on projects that (may) impact Steward tools/work.I expect my activity to be similar over the next year. I will continue to be available on IRC and, if really necessary, Discord.

Question: Your handling of the recent Feeglgeef case on Wikifunctions was quite frankly, poor, including 1 block that you are clearly not permitted to make (Special:Redirect/logid/58453510) as per Meta:Meta–steward relationship and rejecting a resignation (which stewards cannot really do...which in turn resulted in the ex-admin turning abusive). How do you think you'll address such situations going forward without a "my way or the highway" approach? //shb (t • c) 14:06, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- Given the lack of a response and JJMC having been active on-wiki since 14:06, Feb 6 (see w:en:Special:Diff/1274363337, made on 23:00 UTC the same day), I am voting a
strong remove. JJMC's unwillingness to handle criticism, poor attempts of collaboration, poor communication, the enwiki OS issue, the Feeglgeef case, and going by a smart kitten's comment, the phab cases, the number of controversies is far too many for someone's first year as a steward. //shb (t • c) 22:40, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

On SHB's note I've also noticed similar stuff from JJ which could seem like overriding or reversing other stewards' actions. One of the cases that I am the most disappointed about was the Seckends case. I initially locked the account for lock evasion, but some time later when they appealed their lock JJ unlocked - not because of the appeal but because I had provided "no clarification of lock evasion" in the lock summary. After I responded in the VRT ticket for clarification JJ still refused to re-lock. Granted, I should have provided information in the lock summary about who the "evader" was, but in situations like this I find it better to leave the user in question a note to clarify (such as this), before taking action, because communication is important, especially as a steward. However, I am still leaving a keep comment, as I find them active enough and they've been especially helpful for stuff like VRT/UTRS and as a checkuser-l list owner. EPIC (talk) 15:43, 6 February 2025 (UTC){{k}}
Neutral For now pending response to questions and the criticism here. As a fellow steward myself, I can confirm I've experienced similar stuff from my side, both the "my way or the highway" approach and their communication style, even with other stewards. With all that combined with the stuff that's come up here as well which I was previously unaware of, I would want to see an explanation. However, this is more of a conditional neutral pending a response - I'm willing to switch to keep should they explain this well. EPIC (talk) 13:54, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

so may change my !vote later if more comes up. I personally don't have too much of an issue with the partial block because it's exclusively on a steward page, and if someone is being uncivil on a steward page, I don't see why the stewards can't deal with it directly. --Ferien (talk) 19:06, 6 February 2025 (UTC)Keep Not familiar with the whole situation

Remove, and a strong one at that. No thanks. The discussion is at Steward requests/Permissions/2025-01#Feeglgeef@wikifunctionswiki 3 for those interested in it. On this discussion, JJMC89 is virtually unresponsive to all criticism, while an admin is literally vandalising the site. JJMC89 then says that their resignation is conditional, even though he had been repeatedly reverting the admin's attempt to make the resignation unconditional! The logic of "let's not process this resignation even though they're being uncivil to me" is broken and the behaviour is appalling for a steward. The prying through oversight logs in enwiki and the following open criticism of an oversight action when he is not even an oversighter (linked below by A smart kitten) is very poor too. I don't want to endorse this sort of behaviour for a second term. --Ferien (talk) 13:40, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

- There are a few things that cause me concern.Because of these, I am currently leaning remove, although I note that I am obviously personally involved with the Phabricator tickets I have mentioned above. —a smart kitten[meow] 10:57, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- Firstly, in November, JJMC89 (who is not an Oversighter on the English Wikipedia) appears to have questioned an enwiki Oversighter on her public user talk page about a suppression action she took on that wiki. Due to the inherently non-public nature of suppressions, it feels iffy at best for a discussion about them to be held in public view; and the English Wikipedia's Oversight policy specifically states that [c]omplaints or inquiries about potential misuse of the oversighter user permissions should be referred to the Arbitration Committee. In addition, JJMC89 mentioned that he looked at the [enwiki suppression] log to know who to ask about reversing the suppression, but I don't understand why he did that instead of emailing the enwiki ArbCom, as the local policy says should be done with misuse enquiries.
- Secondly, although I had noticed the Feeglgeef case mentioned by SHB2000 above, I was not previously aware of the block made on Meta-Wiki.
- Thirdly, I have concerns regarding JJMC89's actions in security Phabricator tickets (which, if I understand correctly, he has access to in his role as a Steward). To my memory, I have had direct interactions with him in three security tasks, and all have been (in my opinion) less than ideal at the least:In my opinion, these comments matter, if for no other reason than because comments such as these in a security task may be some of the first responses that someone reporting a MediaWiki/Wikimedia security issue receives. Speaking personally, I remember it feeling quite exhausting in phab:T381442, when I felt that - in response to his comment - I had to further justify why the issue I'd reported was a valid security matter/one that needed action at all.
- in phab:T381442, he made several comments which (in my opinion) represent a lack of security consideration of the issue at hand;
- in phab:T223501, he appears to have unilaterally closed as invalid a security issue that had been open for several years & had been reported by at least three separate people (including myself), with a closing summary that again (in my opinion) represents a less than full consideration of the matter at hand; and
- in phab:T385792, he has made a comment which I believe does not show a full consideration of the situation from a security point of view.
I'm aware that these tasks won't be accessible to a majority of people reading this, for which I apologise; however, I'm raising them here as I feel that they are relevant to JJMC89's stewardship.
- Now to be fair with the Feeglgeef case, I did end up indeffing them based on further disruption, but IMO the nature of the initial block is very much that should be left to admins here as per Meta:Meta–steward relationship. Incivility blocks on steward-specific pages is not listed as an exception. //shb (t • c) 11:34, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
Comment: Based on my experience, in practice questions about individual suppressions are just sent to the Oversight team or individual Oversighters instead of escalating to the Arbitration Committee immediately. The Oversight team generally has strong internal checks and balances, so queries sent to the Arbitration Committee are usually complaints of systematic abuse by an Oversighter instead of "can this suppression be undone?". Sdrqaz (talk) 21:02, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- I reviewed the linked Phabricator tasks and they seem to be reasonable technical disagreement to me. I understand you have a different perspective than JJMC89, and given all three tasks are interrelated, it's spread out across multiple tickets, but if this were just a discussion about access to security bugs, I wouldn't be advocating for removal based on those three links. Legoktm (talk) 05:42, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Legoktm: Thanks for taking a look at them -- I appreciate your reply & hearing your perspective.
Like I say, I appreciate that I am personally involved with the tickets; however (for one of the examples), as my reply in T381442 may indicate, I think I felt quite shocked reading the comment JJMC89 left in that task saying that nothing should happen. To probably put it somewhat bluntly, I just couldn't really imagine how something that allows you to do what's described in that task's title & description could be thought to be an acceptable situation security-wise. That being said, I do note what you have said & I take it on board.
In addition, the way in which T223501 was closed as invalid (without, e.g., a comment suggesting the action and asking for other opinions beforehand, in a ticket with the characteristics this one has) strikes me as a potential example of the inflexibility mentioned by arcticocean below.
In terms of interrelatedness, I view the first and third as being more related than the second, which (trying here to intentionally word things as vaguely as possible!) I suppose could be said to be related in that it relates to the same underlying component, but to be honest I wouldn't have previously said that the second task was related to the others if I'd been asked.
Thank you again for taking a look at the tickets - I appreciate you taking the time to do so. /gen —a smart kitten[meow] 14:05, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Legoktm: Thanks for taking a look at them -- I appreciate your reply & hearing your perspective.
Neutral while I await candidate responses and consider other comments. While I commend JJMC89's dedication to the role, high activity is not a significantly important quality in stewards. Steward is an important role and not everybody is suited to it. I have concerns about JJMC89 as a steward, based on my observations the past year.
- There is a communication style, a sort of "I'm going to do this, without warning or explanation" approach, that has caused issues.
- There's also an inflexibility or reluctance to change position, listen, or engage with others.
- There is also a tone issue: while everyone has their own style, JJMC89 often signals opposition without really explaining why or proposing a solution, which is subtly pernicious in an online community.
Keep --cyrfaw (talk) 14:45, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- Regarding Arcticocean's comments, my feeling is that they're just being direct, and (as I noted when I voted on them in the SE2024 elections) some of their "rude-looking" actions have a sensible reason behind them, such as rejecting SRG requests with little to no context. That being said:
- the incident that EPIC raised was not good. Even if EPIC technically made a mistake, you (JJMC89) should have checked with them. It's not like EPIC is inactive.
- regarding the Feelgeef case, I can give slack to you for it. Refusing the resignation is OK, because the OP was making a mess of the whole situation and it's the OP's fault that the situation went out of control. As stewards cannot re-restore the rights once removed, asking them to be certain is reasonable. The block on the other hand was outside MSR but can be condoned in this instance.
- The en.wiki oversight case was weird to see and while I do not consider JJMC89's explanation unreasonable and they didn't divulge anything that they shouldn't, it was outside of the rules.
- I don't know what's in the phab tickets, so cannot comment there.
- Pinging @JJMC89: to give a response, which I expect from someone being reconfirmed as a steward. Leaderboard (talk) 15:41, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Ferien's comment made me investigate this case a bit further. This revert is very weird and inappropriate to see, because you're reverting a steward? Why? It's not particularly uncommon for another steward to "take over" a pending case, even when you've previously declined it. I didn't also realise that Feelgeef was changing his own comment (he did make a mistake by not striking, but you could have checked with him). This needs a response from you or I'll oppose confirmation. Leaderboard (talk) 13:49, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

- On the enwiki OS thing, I was aware of this at the time it was happening and was mildly surprised to discover that I don't think JJMC did anything wrong. The global oversight policy says ""Stewards can see oversighted revisions on all wikis and can grant themselves active oversight rights in emergency cases or on wikis without local oversighters when there’s a valid request."" (emphasis added) so I think the global oversight policy does allow him to have viewed the information he viewed. I also don't think the homewiki Steward policy applies (there was no action or user right granting involved). I think enwiki could amend our local policy in a way that would suggest Stewards should not use this outside of their actions as stewards (language along the lines of use "only while acting as a steward") but that would be about the future and not what JJMC did which I think followed the policy (and not for nothing was substantively correct about).

Remove Here is my problem, I accept that the (allegedly abrasive) security bug comments might have a legitimate reason, the Feeglgeef case ha a legitimate explanation of why JJMC89 acted the way they did and the enwiki oversight case was technically within policy. However, the problem here is not that these incidents happened in the first place, but rather that adequate context/explanation was not given for taking these actions and criticism was not responded to. Even in this discussion itself, JJMC89, has had 3 days to respond to the variety of criticism levelled at them, but has not responded to a single comment. Instead, we have the commenters who are trying to reason and understand why they acted the way that they did. Now, I can understand if this was one case of having IRL commitments and that they weren't able to respond. However, having so many incidents with the first year to me implies a pattern of not taking criticism or responding to feedback/confusion about actions, which if exhibited on enwiki would potentially bring them to ANI or ArbCom (due to violating ADMINACCT). This kind of a pattern is incompatible with what we expect from stewards and that is why despite having complete confidence in JJMC89's technical capabilities, I cannot bring myself to support this reconfirmation and instead have decided to oppose it. -- Sohom (talk) 05:39, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- We should be fair and recognise that Wikimedia is a charitable project and JJMC89 has not edited for a few days. People may have families, jobs, friends, other hobbies, even caring commitments. The confirmation process runs for two weeks and I am sure he will respond during it, when he's next available. arcticocean ■ 09:13, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- For the record JJMC was active on enwiki after my comment was made so it's hard to exactly justify using that as an excuse for not answering any of the questions asked about their controversial actions. //shb (t • c) 12:01, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- I get why you feel that way. On the other hand, a single edit on a different project (which is what he's done since your question) doesn't mean he had the time to come here and engage. I think it important to note that individual Stewards have no control over the timing of this process and so it may come at a time when they are less able to engage (and indeed the total amount of necessary engagement here might conversely make all replies slower). I am not trying to convince you to strike your oppose but want to reply so others don't get the wrong idea about JJMC's activity and in the hopes that we can, as articocean suggests, be kind to our fellow volunteers about their availability to participate in a process like this. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:45, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- I recognise that, but if you've done several major blunders as a steward, a reasonable and timely explanation is required – or at least a note saying that you're away and cannot respond until x date (which is more than understandable – we routinely do this on my home wiki). Seeing neither for what is the highest-risk role is what concerns me – and all the more so when communication was one of the core issues linking all of JJMC's controversies. //shb (t • c) 04:45, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
- That's the key point here and is the major difference between this person and EPIC. EPIC did make some significant mistakes early on in his steward career, and there are still some lingering concerns in his SE2025 confirmation. However, EPIC has done well on resolving those concerns, and in particular makes an attempt to talk through and communicate whenever something wrong has happened (which is important - it's OK if ultimately there's a disagreement - what I want to see is a good-faith attempt). I'm still hoping that JJMC89 will respond - this indeed is a volunteer project, and real-life commitments could well be why we haven't seen a response from them. That's why I haven't formally voted yet. Leaderboard (talk) 10:06, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Strong remove, per Ferien. Not expecting drama from a stew, not answering questions is absolutely not appropriate. aqurs ❄️ 12:21, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
Remove I don't like many of the situations outlined above. The Feeglgeef business alone isn't great, and particularly interactions with other stewards seem a bit, ahem, uncollaborative (per arcticocean's comment). The lack of response here is also not what I'd like to see from a steward. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 17:48, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
Keep Like I said in EPIC's confirmation, I'm lenient because the first year in a role is going to lead to mess ups (and some of them are not always easy to fix immediately). I am overall not concerned enough to remove at this time. Sennecaster (talk) 23:24, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

- Personal info: Hi, this is my first confirmation after being elected as a steward last year. As promised I used my steward permissions primarily for fighting xwiki vandalism/spam – see e.g. my steward stats [4], loginwiki CU stats [5] or SRG edits [6]. I particularly tried to assist with more complicated SRG requests which required opinions from multiple stewards. Other activities concerned (infrequently) SRGP, SRP and SRM [7][8][9]. I volunteered as a scrutineer for the Movement Charter ratification voting [10] as well as enwiki's admin election & ArbCom election [11] [12]. And I joined @DerHexer giving some talks on steward-related topics [13]. My activities have declined a little bit during the past 2-3 months due to off-wiki commitments, but I'm active almost every day even in busy times which should be sufficient. I would love to continue serving as a steward and hope for your confirmation. Looking forward to your feedback, questions and thoughts! --Johannnes89 (talk) 21:09, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

- Personal info: Hello all, this past year has been a busy for me in terms of work and other commitments. That said, I would like to reoffer for confirmation as I foresee having some more time to continue steward work this year.
Our steward team has done a pretty good job at keeping the Noticeboards and VRT queues down, so understandably there's been a shift from having a constant backlog to chip away at when myself or another steward has some free time. This should provide some context as to why I had more limited activity this past year as these two factors contributed.
I look forward to continuing to collaborate with the team both on wiki and off wiki to improve our processes and address the challenges that lay ahead. Thank you.

- Personal info: I've been a Wikimedian since October 2006 and have completed eleven terms as a steward. As usual, I don't believe I have courted any controversy either as a steward or on any project where I am active. I have maintained a reasonable level of activity this year (except for August when I was moving house) and would characterise myself as in the "middle band" of activity amongst stewards. Typically I tend to pick up the things left on the noticeboard for a day or so which require a bit more thought or investigation rather than just a quick lock or block. If the community wants me to, I am happy to continue.

- Personal info: Hello everyone! I'm a steward since 2020. In the past year, my work as a Steward heavily revolved around Temporary accounts, which affects patrollers of all kinds, including the stewards and other global functionaries. I am in regular contact with the Trust and Safety Product team (which is behind Temporary accounts), giving them advice from a steward perspective, helping to shape Temporary accounts in a way that doesn't make the work of functionaries unnecessarily complicated. Based on my advice, the team created several new features (and others are in process), such as IP Contributions or Global Contributions. Even though liasing with TSP doesn't result in any steward actions on the wikis, I consider this to be my most impactful project as a Steward in the past year.
In addition to that, I am also working on automating the onboarding of Stewards and checkusers (to decrease the number of manual actions that need to be taken). I'm also available during most of European daytime, responding to requests on IRC or Discord as appropriate.
As always, if you have any questions regarding my work as a steward, please feel free to reach out to me, and I will be happy to answer them.
Disclaimers: I'm a Wikimedia Foundation staff member, for which I work as a Senior Software Engineer within the Growth team. More detailed information can be found at my staff user page. I'm currently serving as the Vice-Chair of the Wikimedia Czech Republic's Board of Trustees.

Remove I voted remove for Martin Urbanec last year, hoping they'll use that feedback in turn to address controversial actions better. Unfortunately, can't say it's gotten any better, if anything it's gotten worse: the way Martin handled the controversy with their Wikidata adminship and processing a controversial CU on his home wiki, and giving different users different treatment in SE2024 with zero responsibility taken for any of the controversies unfortunately force me to vote a clear remove this year. //shb (t • c) 14:20, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Remove - I strongly dislike Masti's attitude in discussions. Sometimes it even feels dismissive, and he tends to ignore messages and avoids accepting criticism. This has been especially visible in some discussions on plwiki. I would like to see a more polite and open approach to communication, as this skill is just as important as technical abilities.

- Personal info: I would like to take a moment to thank the community and everyone who has reached out to me for general or technical support over the past year. Returning to supporting global stuffs alongside global sysops and patrollers has been a cornerstone for me. Maintaining a consistent presence throughout the year has been crucial in dealing with a wide range of LTAs. Additionally, the use of Discord and IRC has served as an additional tool in the fight against spam, spambots and LTAs (loginwiki stats), with an eye on the Steward VRT queues.
If the community supports it, I'd be happy to continue for another year, with a particular focus on areas where there's still a lot of work to be done, such as the fight against spam, spambots and LTAs. Thanks, and feel free to ask any questions! --Melos (talk)

Primarily, I worked on SRG, SRGP, and SRP and handled several CU and OS requests. Compared to the previous year, my activity has slightly decreased but still remains above average. With the community's support, I would be happy to continue serving as a steward for another year. Thank you for your attention! --❄️Mykola❄️ 18:00, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

- Personal info: Hi, everyone! This is my tenth confirmation as a steward, and it has been a honor to be part of this team :) As a steward, I have been mostly focused on dealing with LTA and cross-wiki abuse/vandalism/spam over the years, but also have a bit of action in other areas such as user rights management, account renaming, private lists and stuff etc. 2024 was a very bad year for me. My father passed away, and my mother got sick. And all of this kept me away from wiki projects for a few months. Little by little, I started to get back to work a few months ago. I still aware of how many LTAs and cross-wiki trolls behave and some maintenance tasks. So I am interested in continuing serving as a steward for one more year, if I can count on your support and trust, of course :)
I’ll need to think this one though for some more time. On one hand it is uncertain to me whether their future activity will be sustained, considering that they’ve been mostly inactive during the year, and I would have preferred that they instead would have run in SE after some sustained activity when they feel ready to resume the role. On the other hand, they have a valid reason for their inactivity and I’m happy they managed to create a confirmation statement despite the circumstances. As such I’m undecided for now; I might be willing to say confirm with hope for higher activity in 2025, otherwise it will more likely be a remove next year. I do note that most of the recent steward actions have been renames, and I’m willing to restore GRN and their previous global rights (GR/GS) should they not pass confirmation.

I've been thinking about this confirmation, but as things were resolved some time ago and I'm active now, I decided to run for confirmation. I even feel a little embarrassed because my activity level wasn't what I expected last year. But all those issues kept me away, and not just from wiki projects. :( However, should other problems occur again, I will not run in the future. RadiX∞ 14:15, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

- Personal info: Hi everyone, this is my fifth confirmation. I'm still around :-) mainly locking spambots, crosswiki spammers, crosswiki vandals, and LTAs from time to time. I usually check if they were editing from a proxy and block it for the appropriate period so that my actions can be more effective. I'll continue doing so if the community wants me to. Over the next year, I'll also be keeping up with the latest changes to anti-abuse workflows, hopefully. I know that there's a lot of work going on with the introduction of temporary accounts, and I personally regret not being able to join discussions about this topic, but I'm confident that the movement will manage to overcome this challenge and make the best out of it.

- Personal info: Community, everyone, hi! This is Sotiale. I never thought I would be in the role of a steward until now. Of course, you can make me quit the role. At this point, perhaps it's been almost 5 years? It feels amazing to me to be writing confirmation like this again.. Anyway, I'd like to state again what I'm going to do. I'm still focusing on the SRCU area, and using the steward tool to find some friends who are running around in various places. There are still some issues that I haven't fully addressed yet, so I'll address them and continue to do what I've been doing with this tool. I think this statistics show that my 5 years have been really long. I am glad that I have been able to do my work so far thanks to your support. I'll listen to your comments again. Thank you! --Sotiale (talk) 14:48, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

- Personal info: Hi. I've been a steward since March 2015 and I would be interested to continue for another year. My activity has been quite slow, similar to my previous term, but I still believe I can be helpful in this position now and in future. My steward activity has been focused mostly in blocking cross wiki vandals and spammers. I'm available on IRC when I can and I read my email. I'm an administrator on the Finnish Wikipedia and Meta-Wiki. I'm also a checkuser on Finnish Wikipedia.

Comments about Superpes15
[edit]Remove with regret. I’ve appreciated Superpes and their work but outside of some actions on two occasions in September and December they’ve been inactive since July, both on- and off-wiki, and most communication attempts from our side have been left unanswered. With that being said, I hope they are doing well outside of the wikiverse. EPIC (talk) 14:03, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

- Personal info: Hi all! This is my third confirmation as a steward. Since February 2023, I've also been the stewards' observer on the Ombuds Commission, allowing me to provide input on cases that would benefit from a steward perspective.
This past year, my steward work has centered around more behind-the-scenes tasks than in previous years, e.g., providing input for the Ombuds Commission, following and giving feedback on technical developments relevant to steward work, cross-wiki UPE investigations, and similar. I haven't been as active as I'd like in the more standard steward areas (e.g., SRG, RfCs, SRP), though I expect that to change in the next year as I'll have more free time. I'm available on IRC, Discord, and over email.
As always, I recommend reading DerHexer's 2024 Stewards User Group Report, which presents highlights from the group's work over the last year.

Despite a drop in my statistics in the last year, I remained active, especially on external channels, for emergency actions, help to local admins and CUs, to compare data and fight vandalism and LTAs. I hope to continue to count on the trust of the community to continue fighting spambots and LTAs, and for other tasks.

Remove The lock of this account appears to the opposite of how stewards are supposed to act in cases of global locks. While it's already difficult to argue that someone changing their mind on some content they decided to add almost a year ago is grounds for a local block, Wim b went and made a global lock after "cross-wiki abuse" was reported to SRG. Now, it's understandable that the local block was wrong, but Wim b decided to escalate this fairly minor local issue to a global scale by fulfilling the global lock report that was made, without even giving any explanation in the lock reason. It's just "per request" that doesn't even link to any particular section, instead simply a diff when he fulfilled the reports. The lack of responses to talk pages, including on this specific issue, is also alarming. It made this situation more difficult for local administrators to handle. Combine poorly executed locks with low activity and unfortunately it means, in my opinion, Wim b is currently a net negative to the steward team. --Ferien (talk) 20:07, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- Ferien: The "per request" link does not link to any section, but is the automatic link when you follow the request from SRG. Due to the lack of response to the discussion, when I was notified after 1 day EPIC didn't give me time to read that it had already resolved, I couldn't do more, and I certainly can't follow a discussion on simple.wiki if no one notifies me. However, I'm sorry about what happened. --Wim b 14:08, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Keep I'm not concerned by that lock - at the time it was made it was someone who was indef blocked on enwiki and had allegedly repeated the same disruptive behavior on simplewiki and been blocked for it - those are the only two wikis they had ever edited. I think stewards are allowed to trust that local admins on big projects like simplewiki block for a good reason. * Pppery * it has begun 16:20, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- It is worth noting that the "one-strike" rule on simplewiki exists to prevent rule breaking of any type from any user who is blocked on another project; the rules being broken do not have to match the problematic behaviour on another wiki, so that's not something that can be extrapolated from the block reason. Even if it were, it is still not grounds for a global lock – this is pretty much a content dispute involving genre warring, as was stated on the enwiki block reason. I would hope that stewards check further than a user simply being blocked on a couple of projects. --Ferien (talk) 19:05, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Keep - I really appreciate all of your VRT work, and your willingness to discuss and compromise on issues. I feel like we have opposite philosophies to granting some permissions on SRGP, and I really appreciate hearing your perspective and using that to moderate my own. – Ajraddatz (talk) 15:47, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for the feedback. In this area I've been trying to trend more towards discussing more before declining, and then looking for more sustainable solutions to user stories. — xaosflux Talk 16:43, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

- Personal info: Hello everyone, this is my first confirmation as steward, and I am honoured to be here. This term, I attempted to learn and participate in all aspects of stewardship competency. In terms of statistics, my figures are not the highest, but they are consistent. As in past years, I focused on dealing with LTA and cross-wiki abuse/vandalism/spam, but this time with more tools. I also worked on steward requests pages, handled some global lock/block-related VRT/UTRS tickets, and handled a large number of oversight requests. I volunteered as a scrutineer for many vote wiki elections, including the board election and the first enwiki administrator election. In the coming term, I hope to continue my work and put my first term's experience to good use. I would be delighted to serve another year as a steward for the community, and I am also happy to respond to any questions or concerns you may have. Thanks for your consideration ~ Yahya (talk • contribs) 18:55, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

- Personal info: Hello. This is my seventh confirmation. During last year I was active dealing with requests mostly on SRG and various other tasks from time to time (around 2,127 steward action in 2024). In addition, I used my steward access for fighting cross-wiki abuse/vandals/spammers and LTAs. Over the past year, I'm being active on SRG, Global AbuseFilter and help on several SRUC complicated requests. Also, I cooperated with local CUs and sysops to solve cross-wiki issues.
Generally(CentralAuth), I'm bureaucrat, sysop and checkuser on Arabic Wikipedia, and sysop on multiple projects (especially Wikidata, Commons and Meta) -home projects avoided-. Over the years, I have made more than 570K edits on Wikimedia wikis.
I would be happy to continue for another term. If you have any questions or comments or suggestions, I would be glad to hear them. Thank you --Alaa :)..! 11:56, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Keep. Last year, I voted against due to actions I perceived as a violation of NPOV (locking the arwiki site from editing for 24 hours and concealing the username of the user who performed these actions by the steward). However, over the past year, I have not observed such activity, so I see no issue with the continuation of the tenure. Thank you for your service. Neriah - 💬 - 10:41, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
