Instructions

Please add your request for custodianship (or other staff positions) below. Include a short summary of why you think you should be given the privileges and please refer to your involvement in other Wikimedia projects. If you have sysop/bureaucrat status at a sister project, please indicate so as well.

In a wiki, trust arises from good editing of webpages and "good editing" is what advances the project. If you have a record of good editing then you are likely to be trusted and be granted the tools to protect pages from vandalism and block vandals and delete useless pages. Having those tools really just means you have to do more work - dull and boring work - for the community.

Please place candidate requests or nominations on a subpage and transclude it here.

Juandev (talk • email • contribs • stats • logs • global account)

I am requesting custodian rights because I was invited to do so, and because, in addition to creating educational resources, I can offer my time and experience to the project administration.

I have been actively involved in English Wikiversity as an editor since 2006 and as a custodian from 2009 to 2022. In addition, I have experience creating and administering Czech-language Wikiversity and Wikipedia, and I contribute to other projects.

In 2022, after a long period of inactivity on the English Wikiversity, I lost my rights. In 2025, I decided to return to the English Wikiversity and develop educational resources. I have been working on it since the beginning of last year. Additionally, I welcome newcomers and participate in community discussions. I have reviewed my older contributions, edited some, and marked the unsuitable ones for deletion. I am also reviewing the policies and would like to elaborate on some and bring them to community consensus.

As a custodian, I would handle requests on the Request custodian action page. Provide fixes and adjustments to templates and settings in the MediaWiki namespace; I have intermediate IT and programming skills. I live in the UTC+1 time zone, so I can respond to urgent requests from European users.--Juandev (discuss • contribs) 17:26, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect since he has experience. I don't see any inconveniences in giving him the role MrZazon (discuss • contribs) 07:12, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
