- Personal info: (English)Hello, thanks for being interested in the steward elections.
I will start with a brief description of my wiki-career. I registered my account in early 2014, after which I started editing and writing articles primarily on the Russian Wikipedia, and in early 2016 I was one of the founders of the graphemes WikiProject. In 2019 I started to actively engage in categorisation on Wikimedia Commons, and thanks to this I got in touch with the English-speaking (or multilingual) community. In late 2019 — early 2020 I gradually became interested in working on the English Wikipedia (mostly neglecting my activity on the Russian-language edition), where I mainly made small ("wikignomish") edits, often using semi-automated tools for bulk edits. In 2021 I became active on Meta-Wiki, where I still regularly check edits to translations; in this context I also became involved in issues of the global Wikimedia community, such as global edit filters, recent changes patrolling and maintenance on small wikis. As a result, I frequently turned to the stewards with requests for global action; see my request history at the following link. My contributions and (local and global) rights on various Wikimedia Foundation projects can be found on the CentralAuth page.
Over the last few years I have been recommended to run for steward by nearly 30 users, including current and former stewards. Last year I was quite busy in real life, but this year I expect to be able to devote more time to my wiki work. As a steward, I plan to perform actions of the kind that I am currently only able to request, as well as respond to such requests from other users. I am not yet familiar with the CheckUser and oversighter tools, but intend to familiarise myself with them over time. - Questions: See Stewards/Elections 2025/Questions#1234qwer1234qwer4
