Stewards/Elections 2025/Statements/MdsShakil

Hi everyone! I am Shakil, and my username is MdsShakil. I joined Wikipedia in 2019 and have been contributing regularly since 2020. Bangla Wikipedia is my home wiki, where I serve as an administrator and oversighter. I am also an administrator on Bangla Wikibooks.

Beyond my home wiki, I actively contribute to global Wikimedia projects. I hold global rename, global rollbacker, and global sysop rights, and I have been a member of the Ombuds commission since February 2023, with my term running until February 2025.

As a member of SWMT, I assist in combating cross-wiki vandalism, spam, and LTAs. In my role as a global sysop, I regularly respond to GSR requests and help clean up small projects. I have renamed over 1,600 users, mainly through the global rename queue, SRUC and bnwiki. As Ombuds, I have had the chance to work with colleagues from various projects. We investigate complaints about violations of the Privacy policy, the Access to nonpublic personal data policy, the CheckUser policy, and the Oversight policy. This experience has helped me gain a solid understanding of these policies and the CheckUser and Oversight tools.

If elected as a steward, I plan to focus on SRG, SRGP, and SRP, supporting the team in addressing cross-wiki abuse and long-term abuse effectively. I will also focus on handling appeals and requests related to global blocks and locks through VRT and UTRS, as well as continuing to manage rename requests on SRUC and in the global rename queue.

I live in the UTC+6 time zone and am typically active on Wikipedia most days. I am also available for emergency contacts via IRC, Telegram, and Discord.

Thank you for your consideration! Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. —MdsShakil (talk) 15:37, 16 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
