Hello. I am a contributor for over ten years and I was an active administrator from 2019–20. If I were to hold the role again, I would continue closing DRs, handling copyvio and speedy requests, dealing with spammers, etc. I feel I have addressed my actions that led to my clouded resignation and later events on my previous requests already. If I missed something or you want a newer perspective, let me know. 1989 (talk) 19:14, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

• Question Today you marked File:Jembatan teluk lais musi banyuasin.jpg for speedy deletion as a file containing derivative elements without evidence of permission. What aspects of the file do you see as derivative? From Hill To Shore (talk) 12:22, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

  The whole picture really. It looks like a screenshot, and the information provided by the uploader was quite vague. It was also unlikely this image was released under a CC 3.0 license, as there was no proof of that. If the image is in the Public Domain, they would need to provide verifiable information. Also, a speedy deletion would mean the file being removed ASAP. The tag I added gives the uploader seven or more days to resolve the concern regarding the image. 1989 (talk) 16:46, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

•  Question Do you apologize for things like this [1]? And can we trust that things like this will not happen again? GPSLeo (talk) 14:46, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

  Yes. It was in the heat of the moment, but like Rubin16 said, I should have not reacted so quickly. There are moments like that where I wished I could have logged off. During that time, I found the threatening message repulsive as I don't think I've done anything so bad as to get reported to WMF. It also didn't help that earlier on, I had told them to leave me alone. I felt during that time maybe I needed something stronger to help them get the message. However, a simple "stay away from my talk page" would have been sufficient. I later realized from that point moving forward, especially after the ANU drama, that me and A.Savin should avoid each other at all costs. As for if it would happen again, very unlikely. It should be the first and last time I tell someone to fuck off. 1989 (talk) 16:24, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

•  Question A major reason for your desysop was your blocking, on separate occasions, of two different admins. What precautions do you plan to take in the future before blocking well-established users? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:57, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

  If I feel there is a situation where an admin or a well-established user is doing misconduct, I will bring that to the attention of an appropriate discussion board like ANU. Anything like a compromised account or blatant admin abuse like deletion / blocking sprees, should be met with swift action to protect the community. 1989 (talk) 18:11, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

•  Question Were you active in another Wikimedia project when you were not active on commons? I mean you have very few edits on commons mainspace and own user talk since 2020 and maybe it would be good to have a track record of some friendly talk page behavior. Your past RfAs are not showing the best of you and judging from them I tend to oppose.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 00:38, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
