Hi there, since my first attempt to become an admin on Commons was more than six years ago, I decided to try again. My first request was obviously declined as I lacked the necessary experience to become a trusted admin and contribute productively. Over the last six years, however, I have gained a lot more experience and have become an active contributor to Commons, with ~19,800 edits to date. In fact, I spend more time on Commons than on my home Wikipedia.
My main focus on Commons is quality assurance and deletion requests, primarily through the Commons:WikiProject Chemistry. Since March 2019, I have been a file mover and have tried to contribute in this area too.
If I am elected as an admin, I will support the current admin team by reducing the backlog, particularly with regard to deletion requests. I promise that I will use the admin tools carefully and will seek advice from more experienced admins if I am unsure about the correct approach to a particular problem.

Oppose I do believe you’re a good user. However, making approximately 1,500 edits in just over a week—after very long and intermittent absences—does not convince me of your commitment to the project. Sorry. --Bedivere (talk) 00:04, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Bedivere, thanks for your vote/opinion. I forgot to explain in my request but the intermittent absences were due to busy real life activities related to my university studies. But now, I have completed them and can contribute actively again like in the past. Chem Sim 2001 (talk) 08:34, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose per Bedivere. Shaan SenguptaTalk 04:36, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

Support. Würde besser sein als so mancher langjährige Admin, habe ich das Gefühl... --A.Savin 09:00, 30 May 2025 (UTC) - Support. Incall talk 12:00, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

- I’m happy to support you, but I’d like to understand how well-versed you are in licensing first. Incall talk 10:03, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Incall, I'm aware of and have read Commons:Licensing as well as Commons:License review, although I'm not a license reviewer as you are. However, I will strongly live these guidelines and, if the situation demand, seek advice from an experienced license reviewer before blindly accepting or rejecting a file based on the provided license. Personally, I'm a strong supporter on creating my own files rather than uploading external files. In addition, it's very important to me that the files uploaded to Commons are properly licensed or public domain (e.g. basic drawings like my own chemical structures in chemistry).

- That sounds quite convincing. I’d be glad to offer my support. Incall talk 12:00, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
