- Languages: en-4, mt, it-2 (at a very basic level I can also understand most Romance languages)
- Personal info: (English)I had been a steward for eight years, and would like to continue counteracting spambots and generally monitoring small wikis and act when necessary, as I did to various degrees for about a decade now (although registered in 2006). I'm an admin on en (also os)/simplewiki (also cu), commons/meta, also respond to info-en queues; often encounter crosswiki vandals or spammers (even if not bots), whether reported locally on the bigger wikis I look out for (although most still require only a single block as they do not venture beyond that one site) or on #cvn-sw - metawiki itself seemingly attracts quite a few long-term abusers too, who I also hope I helped with in years previously. I would like to integrate my present patterns of activity with my past actions in the role, and so hope you could support my request.

[edit]- TonyBallioni (Eligible, checked by Stryn) • Activity since last year has been fine. I think the confirmation fiasco last year wasn’t exactly fair to him. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:13, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
Camouflaged Mirage (Eligible, checked by Stryn) • With my cavaet at their meta sysopship application where if he is inactive again, I don't think I can support any further application.

Activity is higher on English Wikipedia than I would like to see, but it's fairly spread around, which suggests good mopping of under-participated local and ancillary projects. Meets my simple requirements of smart + clue + polite and cordial + proficient knowledge of and adherence to global Steward policy = renewed global mop. Dmehus (talk) 15:52, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

[edit]- Rschen7754 (Eligible, checked by NahidSultan) • Oppose. I was originally going to support his confirmation last year but generally I got the feeling that he wanted to be a steward just to be a steward and wanted to do the minimum amount of work possible to keep the fancy hat. I'm seeing a tendency to argue endlessly about the rules (see also the questions), and I also was underwhelmed by the response to the unfortunate 2014 privacy incident involving another steward (which unfortunately I cannot further discuss as it was on stewards-l). So ultimately oppose, I'm not convinced that he wants to be a steward for the right reasons.Rschen7754 14:03, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

- Swarm (Eligible, checked by Stryn) • The user's steward flag was revoked last year due to lack of activity, and nothing has changed. Despite the statement about integrating their "present patterns of activity", they're not particularly active anywhere, not even on enwiki. Looks like they just hang out at the vandalism board and block a few vandals here and there. No, that does not make you a crosswiki specialist. They're not involved with the community on enwiki at all, nor are they involved with the community at the other projects they're an admin at, despite highlighting those user rights to bolster their credibility here. I'm also even more concerned by their embarrassing behavior in last year's election. The user was completely disruptive and hardheaded and endlessly pestered the opposers trying to gaslight them into believing that they had already resolved the activity issue and that we were just moving the goalposts on them. There was absolutely no reasoning with them whatsoever throughout that election, and that's not something I want to ever see from a Steward. Swarm (talk) 18:41, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

- Djsasso (Eligible, checked by CptViraj) • per Rschen7754. Back before his first steward run he all but told me that was his goal. And he has done similar on simple.wiki. To avoid his flag removal from inactivity he has in the past stopped at the exact number needed to maintain his flag on Dec. 31 after being inactive all year. I think he just wants flags for the sake of flags. -Djsasso (talk) 17:07, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

However, their activity as pointed out by others throughout this confirmation is at enwp mainly. I didn't see them on meta, simple and commons that much. I will still stand that their activity last year is quite good overall. I am just fearful that if they cannot stay active enough in this SE period, they may not be able to sustain and what happened in confirmations 2019 will appear again.
