Ashley Van Haeften, Commons admin? Options

[carbuncle]

I guess Ashley wants to delete the rest of his embarrassing uploads without the fuss of having to ask an admin...

I would like to put myself forward for admin tools. Over the last year I have committed to Commons projects, mostly in my role as a volunteer leading the GLAM UK programme, my work as an OTRS volunteer (for which having tools would mean a wider scope of the types of ticket I would pick up) and also my work as a trusted user (using my own scraping tool to help check and empty the Flickr backlog queue of dubious uploads every now and then). I run Faebot, though I recently paused in using my iMacro scripts as I would like to move to more standard batch upload tools for larger upload projects. In 2012 I will be part of a number of Commons projects and partnerships, including my continuing involvement in the future batch upload tool and some very high quality uploads with our UK GLAM partners; though it would always be useful to have a GLAM-knowledgeable admin available to help out, more important will be my experience of helping with all types of admin tasks on Commons to inform these projects as well as continuing the support I already give to the institutions on how to encourage Wikimedians to join in with making these projects a success, as well as promoting the use of simple policies for copyright and attribution.

Probably the same one who posted this. Presumably a dedicated follower of Faesion.

This Ip is blocked on English wiki, and he questions his block on commons, but I believe he's mistaking Courcelles is not a payed employee. If he were, he would not have been elected in arbcom

See the block log. Chase me, who is an employee, initially blocked and Courcelles then stepped in and changed it by some amount less than a minute.

I see. Courcelles only removed talk page access.
BTW please forgive my ignorance, but could somebody please tell me how people became trustee directors? Are they getting elected by the community?
