Guten Abend @Achim55 wäre es möglich wenn du für mich von der Datei die Versionen vom 5. April löschen könntest, sowie den Kommentar vom 6. April (nachdem ich gestern das Haus wie eigentlich gewollt – als ich gesehen hatte wie umfangreich der historische Gebäudeteil ist – ablichten konnte). Danke und herzliche Grüße Ricardalovesmonuments (talk) 17:50, 7 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
You may be an eligible candidate for the U4C election
This year the U4C requires candidates to hold administrator rights on at least one wiki, which is why you are being contacted as you appear to hold this right. There are other requirements, such as candidates must be at least 18 years old and may not be employed by the Wikimedia Foundation or other related chapters and affiliates. You can find more information in the call for candidates on Meta-wiki. Additionally, the committee's working language is English; some ability to communicate in English is required.
The election opens on 18 May, if you are eligible and interested you have until 10 May to submit your candidacy. There will week between for candidates to answer questions from the community. Voting takes place privately in SecurePoll, successful candidates must receive at least 60% support. More information is available on the 2026 Elections page, including timelines and other candidacy information. If you read over the material and consider yourself qualified, please consider submitting your name to run for the committee. If you think someone else in your community might be interested and qualified, please encourage them to run.

I also want to highlight what an incredible turnout we had. In the second round, we saw a massive jump in both the number of users voting and the total votes cast. We had exactly 13,979 votes cast by 3,509 users! To put that in perspective, last year we had 7,403 votes from 2,837 users. It is amazing to see that level of growth and community engagement.
Thank you to everyone who voted, helped organize, and generally made the contest such a huge success this year!
Done both. You're welcome! --Achim55 (talk) 11:31, 29 March 2026 (UTC)
