Hey All,

My name is Michel BAKNI, I am originally from Arabic Wikipedia.

I have been active in the project for the last eight years, I am a file mover and a template editor for years with a clean record :).

My main contributions are related to Arabic content, with a vision to strengthen the link between Wikipedia, Wikipedia, and Commons.

I am aware of the multilingual nature of the project, which is why I need the admin rights in the first place: to facilitate the maintenance of Arabic content and to provide additional support to my main community, especially people who have problems related to content and do not master English. I also wish to handle vandalism in Arabic, a tough task for non-Arabic speakers.

I am not new to admin rights, I have been an admin in Arabic Wikipedia for more than 4 years now. I am familiar with admin actions: including protection, deleting, blocking etc.

I also speak English & French fluently, I do understand Spanish with difficulty in oral communication

I hope I will be a usufel addition to the Admin Team!--Michel Bakni (talk) 21:17, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Oppose I went through your edits and got the impression that you don't quite understand the policies on Commons, especially COM:INUSE which automatically makes a file in scope. There was a few deletion requests started by you where the rationale was personal file, out of scope, but the file was in use. Also, you seem to use deletion requests for all your deletion nominations, whereas a majority could have been tagged with {{SD}} or {{Copyvio}}, instead, i.e. speedy deletions. Also, the reason to your admin request, to facilitate the maintenance of Arabic content and to provide additional support to my main community, especially people who have problems related to content and do not master English. I also wish to handle vandalism in Arabic, a tough task for non-Arabic speakers. does not need the admin tools.Jonteemil (talk) 22:00, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Regretfully   Oppose per above. You will be fine in some time. Bedivere (talk) 23:14, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to be wordy. I was a Commons Administrator for 12 years, from 2006 to 2018, when I lost the status because of inactivity. Much of that was my career and slowly growing apart from the Wikimedia projects in general. But in the last couple of years I've increased my involvement in the projects, helping when I've found the time. And I managed to bring myself to Wikimania this year in Katowice, reacquainting myself with the community and meeting a huge number of new people.

I was satisfied with just being a contributor and reviewer, however, I understand there is a huge backlog of things that need to be done, and I felt compelled to ask for the administrator rights again so I can better help with tasks here.

Plus, I am committed to not falling into inactivity again! Bastique ☎ appelez-moi! 21:39, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
