- Personal info: (English)Since 2019, I have been an administrator on the Bavarian Wikipedia as well as a global administrator. In the following year, due to my global activities, I also took on the role of Meta-Wiki administrator. In 2024, I was proposed as an administrator on Wikidata.
My main activities in Wikimedia projects include technical tasks, maintenance, cross-project processing of various requests, and combating vandalism and spam. For example, I have performed over 1,000 interface edits, such as .js, .css, or gadget definitions outside of my user namespace. Additionally, I have made over 150,000 deletions and performed many other actions or edits. With the Steward rights, I want to participate even more strongly in the project and more efficiently counteract spambots or long-term disruptors. I have no direct technical experience with Oversight or Checkuser tools, except for temporary accounts. However, I have already created some requests and am familiar with the basics. I am confident that I can also work in this area, as I am willing to continue my education and acquire new skills in collaboration with other experienced Stewards.
My biggest weakness is my English, which is very limited. However, I have so far managed to overcome language problems very well. I am, however, willing to continue to improve my language skills in order to effectively carry out my work as a Steward. Additionally, as a global Sysop, I have already gained experience in deciphering very exotic languages. This is often not easy, but I have learned to deal with unusual scripts and languages. - Questions: See Stewards/Elections 2025/Questions#WikiBayer

- SHB2000 (Eligible, checked by TenWhile6) • Sorry, but I’ve found WikiBayer’s communication skills and the way they handle controversy to be piss-poor, and I don’t find it entirely unexpected for someone who has failed three dewiki RfAs.

- @WikiBayer can you respond to the last one? Your answer to a question suggested that "I haven't used the criticized justifications for a long time" and one month isn't "a long time". Leaderboard (talk) 09:41, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- My answer referred to the reasons criticised above. And the blocks that are criticised here are definitely different. The reasons that are criticised here are definitely unobjectionable. Most of all in the Barwiki. In Bavaria it is very popular to use this in such contexts. This is also not an insult! (even if the word can serve as an insult in other contexts), which is probably a little more difficult for you as a foreign speaker to understand. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 (WikiBayerCatHelper) 11:41, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- @WikiBayer so if I get you correctly, in the Bavarian language, this is normal, but the same phrase used in standard German is an insult? Leaderboard (talk) 12:38, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Leaderboard not quite, It doesn't depend on the German or Bavarian language, but on the context in which the word is used, and there are also regional differences in where it is often used and in what context. Similar to ‘du’ and ‘sie’. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 (WikiBayerCatHelper) 13:39, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- @WikiBayer If you think that block reasons like "Dork" (personal attack, actually) and "Clearly fell on their head" (implies cerebral trauma in childhood) are helpful and appropriate, I think you shouldn't have any advanced privileges, not only stewardship. Trasheater Midir (talk) 15:24, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- @WikiBayer These are unquestionable insults that are inappropriate in any Wikimedia project. The fact that you continue to use such block notices (up to 15 January 2025) despite your claims in the questions section and your replies here are unfortunately an indication that you do not plan to change this habit. Yes, we block and lock all sorts of vandals. But we should do this decently while keeping always in mind that there is a human being on the other side. --AFBorchert (talk) 20:39, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- I can see a dubious/offensive block reason [4] 2025-01-15 here at meta and in German Special:CentralAuth/Schlesien_wählt_Weidel_und_kehrt_Heim_ins_Reich ... I am tempted to change my neutral vote to oppose. Taylor 49 (talk) 13:58, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

I know German Humour can be different, but I don't see how "Long-Term Idiot" can be justified in any sort of way, and frankly it's something that ArbCom should possibly look into regarding "Conduct Unbecoming".

- FeralOink (Eligible, checked by Wüstenspringmaus) • If my only hesitation were "long-term idiot" as a repeated block reason (examples provided by Minorax above), and if WikiBayer would convincingly state that would not be used in the future, I would change my vote. More concerning to me is the recent instance provided by AFBorchert on on German language Meta. Was that due to the editor's choice of user name? Something else? A rationale of "obviously stupid" is insufficient for a permanent block.--FeralOink (talk) 14:22, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- The editors name is a barely veiled call to resurrect German expansive imperialism from the late 1930s. Considering the historical context, this hits rock bottom on any scale of acceptability. -<(kmk)>- (talk) 15:39, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

Neutral
edit- EPIC (Eligible, checked by TenWhile6) • I feel like WikiBayer is one of the more difficult candidates to decide on. One of the main points to bring up is probably on the global locks/SRG topic - I've noticed from my experience that several stewards have complained about WikiBayer's SRG reports, either because they are missing information (so that one of us has to either decline or ask for more information) or because they are incorrect, and from my SRG work I've seen some signs of that from my side as well, such as [5] and the more recent [6]. With that being said, this might create controversy around how they will use the global lock tool which I want to avoid having. I've had the dewiki stuff in mind as well, such as the RfAs mentioned in the questions and this (about the fact that they were (and still are) using the GR flag to perform suppressredirect moves for regular maintenance at dewiki, a large wiki and outside the scope of how GR's suppressredirect right should be used). I feel like some dewiki users will oppose here, but I'm going to abstain for now, because on the flip side they are doing good work as a global sysop and my impression of their work as a Meta admin/GS has been generally positive. EPIC (talk) 14:12, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- Johannnes89 (Eligible, checked by TenWhile6) • I agree with Minorax and EPIC. WikiBayer does a lot of work fighting xwiki vandalism and spam. And a lot of it is very helpful, especially for smaller wikis which lack the resources to fight vandalism/spam. But I would like to see improvements in the way they communicate. They've stopped with the block reasons Minorax criticised (as far as I know), but still communication is too often poorly when asked to justify some of their decisions as (global) sysop. I've considered giving them a motivational vote of support, because there is a lot of helpful GS work and right now they are receiving mostly opposes, but there are also too many reasons to oppose -> therefore neutral.

- Leaderboard (Eligible, checked by TenWhile6) • You were the only candidature for me that I had to take a deep look, and it's not because of your language skills. Your English is OK, and it wasn't difficult for me to understand what you were saying. However, some of your answers (eg the U4C case) were plain weird - and not in a good way - for me. But on the other hand, your statement, theoretical candidature and the answers you gave to my questions were fine - so much so that I was surprised to see a bunch of opposes to your candidature. The issues regarding bad language on edit summaries were in 2023, and it appears to me that you've improved since then. Leaderboard (talk) 15:04, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
