| Introductory statement / Application summary (maximum 500 words): Tell us who you are, why you are applying, and your relevant experience. | I will skip the obvious and try to provide information only that could be relevant and is not in CA. I'm a VRT member since 2011, served five terms at German Wikipedia Arbcom, and three terms as member of the Ombuds Commission. I also served one year as Steward, but failed to be reelected (Stewards/Confirm/2021#Krd). --Krd 15:12, 13 July 2024 (UTC) |

Questions
[edit]- I find your statement rather strange - you're pretty much one of the only candidates with just two lines that doesn't tell anything about why you've applied for the role and what you've done. I'm curious on your stance on this (i.e, why you think that wasn't necessary). Leaderboard (talk) 07:05, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- I understand that this may appear strange. Of course the obvious approach is to start by "Hello, my name is Krd, this is the list of roles I had, this is the list of unverifyable facts about me in private life, and this is my agenda." I thought about this and decided that this will not be my style this time, especially when the 500 words limit implies that a short statement is appreciated, so I tried to keep it a short as possible. I also think that usefullness of private life experience and qualification is often overrated, so though I perhaps could have mentioned one or another, I decided to skip that. And I don't have any agenda, but look forward to work with the group as open minded a possible. Krd 09:51, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- The comments I see on your 2021 steward confirmation suggest concerns that would be relevant if you're a member of the U4CC. What do you have to say about that? Leaderboard (talk) 07:05, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think some parts of the concerns are reasonable, and some perhaps are not. True is that I made mistakes when handling requests. I can even consider that I'm technically so underqualified for the steward role that I don't even understand how bad my work was. I don't think I have problems dealing with opposition to my actions, and I don't think I have have bad communication skills when being approached in a reasonable way. (I sometimes tend to be not overly helpful in return when being approached in a rude way, and I'm working on improving that.) Sadly I'm unable to improve anything regarding issues never talked about. I did quit as soon as I had reason to assume that I was not wanted as a team member, and I wish this had been pointed out earlier and with less drama. Krd 10:39, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
