    I'm Leaderboard, and I want to be a steward for 2026. My primary areas of interest would be
    • granting permissions on SRP and SRGP - I've been around as a participant on the latter for a while, and would like to grant them myself.
    • working "behind-the-scenes" to make stewards' and other contributors' work easier. An example would be Global renamers/FAQ, which I significantly improved after becoming a global renamer by listing down common cases that tripped me. This helps new renamers, improves transparency and is a useful guide for all renamers (new or experienced). As a steward, one area I'm interested is seeing how common bottlenecks and time-consuming areas (such as IP/global blocks and global lock appeals) can be improved for both the requestor and the stewards.
    • continuing to work on the technical side of Wikimedia (related to the second point); I continue to maintain Global reminder bot and Global statistics, the former of which runs on almost every Wikimedia wiki and has helped hundreds of users along the way. I'm also a good fit for areas such as bot requests (which tends to be a less-looked-after area by stewards) and abuse filters (being an abuse filter helper which allows me to view filters across Wikimania).

    On the other hand, while I've had experience with cross-wiki anti-vandalism, and as an admin of five wikis (two of which I'm there mainly for anti-vandalism/technical purposes), as a steward I don't expect routine anti-vandalism to be a priority. This statement is not meant to be exhaustive - feel free to ask me any questions you have.

    I primarily speak English and Malayalam (though I don't tend to use that on Wikimedia as I've never formally learned the language), have intermediate-ish proficiency in Dutch (CEFR B1) and can understand basic Hindi.

    Some additional notes:

    • This statement is directly adapted from my 2025 statement, as my rationale has stayed pretty much the same.
    • I've made mistakes over the years, but like to think that I've improved and am receptive to feedback.
    • I expect some people will have questions about my 2025 steward attempt, or the U4C 2025 elections that I did not pass. Please feel free to ask them; the reason why I'm not specifically addressing them here is to avoid cluttering my statement.

    2. BRPever (Eligible, checked by Giraffer)2026 •  I expect stewards to have good judgement and a fairly decent understanding of community expectations.

    3. Giraffer (Eligible, checked by 20041027 tatsu)2026 •  Framing your U4C election results as being a flaw with the committee, when in 2 of 3 U4C candidacies you garnered more oppose than support, is absurd. Saying you also have "no idea" where hat-collecting concerns come from, despite running unsuccessfully in the last steward election and past three U4C elections, is equally bizarre. It does not demonstrate the self-awareness I would like to see in a steward, and so I oppose. Giraffer (talk) 14:08, 6 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    5. Ferien (Eligible, checked by EPIC)2026 •  I was going to vote no, but the pile-on has already arrived and I don't like doing that. I voted yes last time but I think the best way to prove against the hat collecting allegations would for you to skip a steward election rather than applying each year, as you went from steward to U4C voting to U4C non-voting to steward again within 12 months. Also, 54.86% is not quite borderline to the point I would base my statement on last year's personally. Don't get me wrong, I don't think you are a hat collector and I happily supported your candidacy last year. But with people potentially thinking you are one, going and requesting more rights while not really changing anything in your approach is confusing to me. Ferien (talk) 15:03, 6 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
      As I said in my answer to Vermont, it appears that the community and I have different opinions on what constitutes hat-collecting. Well it looks like I was utterly wrong on this. I guess the plus point is that I can immediately practice what I've preached in one of my answers. Leaderboard (talk) 04:47, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
