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.
