Personal info: (English)
Hello, everyone, I’m SHB. I’ve been a regular contributor to the Wikimedia sphere since 2021, and am a sysop, bureaucrat and checkuser on my home wiki, the English Wikivoyage. I’m also a global sysop/rollbacker and a sysop on Meta-Wiki and the English Wikibooks. I routinely assist with cross-wiki maintenance, including working on anti-vandalism, anti-spam and speedy deletion backlogs on small wikis that lack sysops.
If elected, I intend to continue the work I've been doing, but with the extra tools at my disposal. This includes handling global (b)lock requests on SRG (where I have submitted over 1,500 requests), some checkuser requests at SRCU, while also addressing requests at both SRP and SRGP.
I recognise I’m not immune to mistakes, and I’ve made a few in the past. Therefore, I plan to take things cautiously, with guidance from more experienced stewards. I will make it a point to step back from situations where I have any involvement, even if it's minor, and learn from any errors I might make.
I’ve familiarised myself with the stewards policy and the oversight policy. I’ve already been previously familiar with the checkuser policy and by extension, the privacy policy and the WMF’s ANPDP. For the purposes of the home wiki rule, I consider both the English Wikivoyage and English Wikibooks to fall under this rule.
My time zone is UTC+10 during the southern winter months (April to September) and UTC+11 during the summer months (October to March). I am generally available most days, but I often take a long break and travel somewhere at least once a year, and typically unreachable on-wiki during this period (though I can still be reached via email or Discord).
Thank you for considering me as a steward; I’m more than happy to answer any questions you may have. :)

Edit 2026-02-02: just making it clear here that this is the nomination statement for SHB2000 (the Wikivoyage guy) and not SCP-2000. Please see Stewards/Elections 2026/Statements/SCP-2000 for their nomination (just a really bad username coincidence I know :/).
