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, Iam committed to not falling into inactivity again! Bastique ^{☎ appelez-moi!} 21:39, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

•  Weak oppose All due respect for your work, but IMHO flag should be granted also with regard of more recent activity... but as for Commons namespace (most relevant for admin work) unfortunately I see far less than 100 edits of yours in the last two years, and why should I presume it would be so much more in future? Sorry --A.Savin 08:44, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

  i agree with a.savin. your activity is low. please be more active. thanks. modern_primat ^{ඞඞඞ ----TALK} 11:43, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose seems like hatcollecting, not much recent activity. Didn't the user also work for WMF, but that no longer?  ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 20:32, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

  this is their personal account, Bastique was an employee when being an active contributor was considered a requirement and staff werent expected to take actions as employees. Gnangarra 00:17, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose I don't see the need for the admin tools -- DaxServer (talk) 20:34, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose after checking his contributions, it is really low amount for recent years. i believe you should do more and apply here later. sorry. modern_primat ^{ඞඞඞ ----TALK} 23:26, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

•  Support Commons need more admins as it is a very backlogged project. If the user expects to become active again, and was an admin in the past, we should give them the toolbox. --A09 (talk) 18:21, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose too few contributions – increase activity here first and then request adminship, not the other way around...there's mountains of maintenance tasks here that can be done without admin rights. Per A.Savin. --Prototyperspective (talk) 13:26, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

• What backlogs would you be helping with as an administrator? Because there are lots of backlogs which ordinary editors can help to reduce, like subcategories of Category:Categories requiring diffusion, Category:Files needing categories and probably much more in Category:Commons maintenance. --JopkeB (talk) 08:44, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
• This isnt english wikipedia as per COM:DEADMIN Administrators who have lost admin rights through inactivity but who expect to become active again may re-apply through the regular process. there is no inquisition required for admins returning after inactivity. The specified requirement is that they expect to become active. Gnangarra 09:40, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

  OK, thanks for the information, I did not know that. JopkeB (talk) 09:51, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
