Good day everyone

I thought about how I could contribute more here and I've decided to run for administrator.

About me: I'm from Switzerland, already over 50 years old, and have been editing Wikipedia since 2008. My main account is on the German Wikipedia, but since November of last year, I've been primarily active on Commons. Since December, I've been a file mover, having already moved over 11,000 files. My specialty is renaming coats of arms from German-speaking countries, as well as renaming files with meaningless names. I don't shy away from manually editing in all language versions, even if I can't read the language. However, I can converse fluently with anyone in German and Swiss German, and I have knowledge of English, Italian, French, and Hebrew.

I'm active almost every day, and I'm also good at finding copyvios; occasionally, I even submit deletion requests.

This is the first time I've applied for such a position at Wikipedia. Because of my calm and matter-of-fact manner, I've been approached before to become an administrator on the German-language Wikipedia. However, I wasn't particularly interested at the time and didn't know exactly how I could contribute as an administrator to the German-language Wikipedia.

Here at Commons, however, I do see potential where I could contribute.

Where I could certainly help as an admin and where a backlog I can often see:

  • Processing open deletion requests
  • Processing speedy deletion requests

I'll leave any further areas of activity open for now, as I probably need to find my way around first.

Whether the Commons community will place its trust in me remains to be seen now. Of course, it could also be that many of you don't know me that well yet and I still have to prove myself a bit more. But I hope I'm worthy of becoming an administrator.

Thanks to everyone who voted, even if your vote was negative. It shows me that you're taking notice and have gotten to know me a little better.

  • I am a but unsure if all of your files moves are really covered by the renaming policy. Especially moves es like or . GPSLeo (talk) 14:24, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
    Hi @GPSLeo: The Disney logos represented a harmonization of an entire file set, see Category:Disney Jr. logos, and the example you mentioned was the last one to remain in the requests list for a day or two. However, other Filemovers and admins were also involved in the name changes. Second: The old name File:George Simion cu media 04·05·2025 (6).jpg only mentioned George Simion, but three people are shown. You're right, I certainly could have been more specific, such as adding the first names to the suggestion and including the date. Greetings, זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 14:54, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
That is not what the criterion To harmonize the names of a set of images so that only one part of all names differs is intended for. Commons:File renaming says

There are two scenarios that this criterion is designed for. First, certain complex templates (such as those that use BSicons or that display football kits) assume that the images used in them will follow a specific naming convention. Wikisource also uses a specific naming convention for the source files they transcribe. Second, files that form parts of a whole (such as scans from the same book or large images that are divided into smaller portions due to Commons’ upload size restriction) should follow the same naming convention so that they appear together, in order, in categories and lists.

That does not apply to mass renames of coa files. Or Disney logos. --Rosenzweig τ 23:11, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
Okay, I'm not the only one who seems to have completely misinterpreted this criterion in the past. Others seem to have trouble with it, too. Based on your input, I won't be making any further name changes to coats of arms in the future. Best regards. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 06:57, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

The three active Checkusers nominate Lymantria for the position of Checkuser.

We believe that they are highly qualified and well trusted and will be an excellent addition to the team as well as adding languages we do not have.

Lymantria became a Commons Administrator in 2011, with 29 positive votes of 30. They have 133,000 edits on Commons and 19,000 deletions. They are also very active on Wikidata, where they are an Admin, Bureaucrat, and Checkuser and have made almost two million edits.

  • Thank you for nominating me, very special to be nominated by no less than three colleague checkusers. Of course, I accept the nomination. --Lymantria (talk) 14:08, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

    • @Mirer: As the person that led the search for a fourth CheckUser, let me illustrate the process, in case that helps: I went through every case filed at Commons:Requests for checkuser in the last 12 months and made a list of everyone that filed cases that were actionable (had proper rationales that justified using the tool, targeting accounts active recently enough for the tool to work). Then I removed anyone that wasn't an admin, because the community won't approve a CU that isn't already an admin. From there, I looked at who was regularly active on Wikimedia projects (CU isn't as time sensitive as OS, but it's still important that we have ample coverage because sometimes we need range-blocks to stop ongoing, high-volume abuse). Lastly, I checked their RfAs and searched for threads on the admin noticeboards to make sure we weren't putting forward someone controversial (no one was removed from the list at this step). This gave me a shortlist of three folks, and all three of us were comfortable with any of the three of them, so we reached out to all three to gauge interest. Lymantria stood out because they're already a CU on another project. (There really isn't much onboarding for CUs - a few pages on the CheckUser wiki, and asking existing CUs questions on the CU mailing list or over Discord - so knowing what you're doing from day 1 is a huge plus.) I haven't really interacted with Lymantria much prior to this nomination (just one CU case on Wikidata, IIRC). TLDR: This wasn't "let's pick our friends", it was "let's search for folks we think can do the job". The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 01:40, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
      • @Mirer: With all respect for your vote, I want to stress that I did or do not belong to the "inner circle" of the three CUs that nominated me. With neither of the three nominators I have had a lot of interaction at one of the projects. Their common action to find and nominate a new CU I interpreted as a sign of urgency/necessity to have more manpower. That convinced me to accept the nomination. --Lymantria (talk) 05:27, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
      • @Mirer: There's no club here -- as TSC says, the three of us believe that Commons will be better served if there are four Checkusers, so we went looking for suitable candidates. I have had very little interaction with Lymantria in the past, but all of it was positive. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:50, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

  •  Support if it is Lymantria, for sure. No issues. Always seen them as doing what they are doing. signed, Aafi (talk) 08:36, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
  •  Strong support I've talked with TSC about the 4th CU in the past, and I think that 4 (or even 5!) CUs can only be a benefit to commons, especially someone who already has experience, is a huge benefit. The only possible downside is that the average checks done by an individual CU will go down, but that might not be a bad thing. Anytime we can avoid being dependent on 1 or 2 people for a critical task, I'm all for it. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 15:33, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

  •  Support, I think that volunteering to improve Wikimedia projects is too valuable. Lymantria is an experienced user. As they are sysop here, and already have CU rights on Wikidata. So, they are familiar with the CU interface. It is beneficial to have one more CU here. No objections. --Kadı Message 22:12, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Comments

  • Do the current CUs feel that there is enough work for 4 CUs on commons? --Guerillero Parlez Moi 18:04, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
Yes, certainly. There is a great deal of behind-the-scenes work. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:23, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Can this checkuser handle such cases like the sockpuppets of Anonymous Hong Kong Photographer 1? 〈興華街〉📅❓ 09:13, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
    • Well, that has not been a straightforward CU-request and it is clear why the complexity of this CU-request led to a discussion, which I think led to a good outcome. The complexity is not so much in the CU part itself (the sockpuppetry seems to be quite clearly visible), but in the judging if this sockpuppetry is to be considered disruptive or not (commons and wikidata do not have exactly the same standards on that), the deletion of uploads and the long history. I certainly would be able to take up such a case, but not without trying to discuss with my colleague checkusers and/or ask them for advice. All by all these tasks are meant to serve the community as well as possible and should not be solo projects.--Lymantria (talk) 13:25, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
  •  Comment No opposition, but I am wondering about your level of activity with only 13 admin actions during last month. Yann (talk) 09:20, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
    • I may not have been very active on the admin side (and I have been on holidays for a week during last month), I think my edit count shows that I am active at commons, be it that I am more active at wikidata. --Lymantria (talk) 13:27, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
  1. no access to https://xtools.wmcloud.org/topedits/commons.wikimedia.org/Lymantria/4 .
  2. without that, then I found that there were fewer than 5 edits to all 4 Commons:Administrators' noticeboards in the last 3 years.
