Hello all, Hereby I want to sign up for adminship. A user suggested me to become admin. On nl-wiki/elsewhere I answer often questions about licenses and move often files from several local projects to Commons. At the moment I am organizing Wiki Loves Monuments in Belgium and Luxembourg in what I each day check they uploaded files. Furthermore I often serve as troubleshooter and help people with answering questions. Romaine (talk) 15:13, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

• What a collection of uploads! Great! One question: What do you intend to do with you administrator-group-rights? I assume for setting up the photo-projects? Kind regards -- RE rillke questions? 12:32, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
  • What I will do with administrator-group-rights is stopping asking admins if I am sure with what I am doing, and do the job myself. Recently that involved adding translations to secured templates, creating/editing MediaWiki system messages for the uploadwizard, sometimes handling copyvio images coming from other websites, answering questions about deleted files, deleting duplicate files. These things I asked admins in the past, I perhaps forgot some more, and the adminship involves more. Romaine (talk) 13:08, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
•  Comment It is since September 2003 that I am active on Wikimedia projects with this account, but became much more active in 2008. Romaine (talk) 13:09, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
• Please enable e-mail and Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary in Special:Preferences. Will be good idea to use standard Commons:Babel templates on user page. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:52, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
  • In some way it got switched off, I enabled email now. Babel added to my user/talkpage. To me babel isn't perfect, because I can understand more languages than what I can write in, babel is limited in that. Greetings - Romaine (talk) 15:34, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
• Further to Eugene's request, I call your attention to the following from Commons:Administrators:

"You should expect as an admin to make yourself available on Commons to a reasonable extent (a userpage that asks people to leave messages for you on some other project is not considered acceptable practice for an admin)."      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 14:58, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

• Sorry, I read it, but thought I already adjusted that earlier. Updated now. Thanks for mentioning. Greetings - Romaine (talk) 15:40, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

• I see 270,000 global edits on 663 different WMF projects which has to be some kind of record. Of those, 10,000 edits are on Commons, but only 130 in the Commons: namespace. That's kind of troubling -- we have turned down several users who had more experience in the namespace.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 15:15, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
  • In Dutch we have a saying called: "niet praten maar breien" It means that it is wished for that people work more than they'll talk, and they'll use talking for those things that are really needed. That is what I personally really like: making Commons better. Greetings - Romaine (talk) 15:54, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
