Welcome to my Meta user page! I am Tobias (username Church of emacs), a German Wikimedian from Munich. If you want to leave me a message, you can do so at my talk page. If you would like to learn more about me, read below.
Note: As of 2023, I am no longer active.
My work
I started as a Wikipedian, being mostly active on the German Wikipedia (where I'm a sysop and was oversighter), but now I am a cross-wiki contributor. Beside Wikipedia, I'm an OTRS volunteer and a MediaWiki developer, as well as a sysop on meta and two smaller projects: MediaWiki.org and Wikimania wikis. Currently, I'm involved in facilitating communication between WMF and German Wikipedia's community.
What I do here
Stewards/elections 2010 – I helped create and monitor the template system for the vote, and verify eligibility of candidates
Translations. I translate English->German and sometimes German->English
Participation in all kinds of projects/discussions/polls/etc.
Countervandalism, admin stuff
What I do on Wikimedia projects
(organizing) I organize events, such as the Bavarian Parliament project, done in spring 2012, or the panel on the Image filter (which I also moderated) with Ting Chen, Pavel Richter and User:Carbidfischer in 2011.
(organizing) I'm active in the fundraiser both by writing appeals on my own and encouraging others to participate.
(maintenance) Administrative work on Wikipedia, MediaWiki.org, Meta and various other wikis.
(content) Writing and improving articles for Wikipedia and other projects.
