I have been around for many years, and contributed with thousands of images, mine and from archives, and I have seen that admins have too much things to take care of. So I think that it's time to help with those tasks. I have good knowledge of copyright (as far as this is even possible), and experience working with GLAM institutions. My home wiki is Basque Wikipedia, where I'm also an admin and bureaucrat with more than a decade of experience. Thanks for your support! Theklan (talk) 09:20, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral (for now atleast) looks to be a good editor, but does not stand out enough to be sure for certain. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 16:04, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose User's talk page and archives are riddled with successful copyvio and deletion notices. Apocheir (talk) 20:21, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support See no problems. Good Luck. --Wikijunkie (talk) 21:39, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose I don't see anything seriously wrong the user that makes me think they can't be an admin (but then I haven't dealt with them outside of this and checking their edit history just now either). The amount of deletion notices on their talk page is troubling though. Not to enough to make me think they should never be an administrator but the role does kind of require a basic understanding of copyright. So IMO it's a little premature. I wouldn't have a problem with them trying to go a while without any of the uploads being nominated for deletion, while they learn about copyright and participate in DRs, and then reapplying. But DRs are the main area that we need administrator to work in though. So it's something a user should have an understanding of to be one. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:15, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Could you please explain why you uploaded Commons:Deletion requests/File:Euskal Herria Covid 19 fotomuntaia.jpg, deleted for missing sources, and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Herensuge (euskal mitologia) - Midjourney AI bertsioa.png, deleted for being out of scope?
