Howdy. I'm an active participant over at [[WP:DYK]], and recently ran in [[WP:AELECT]] but did not pass the threshold. [[Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Candidates/Darth Stabro|Discussion]] centered around lack of experience on [[WP:AIV]], an area I expressed interest in getting involved in. A decent part of my running for adminship was wanting to help with processing [[WP:DYK]] queues, which are template-protected. In my election discussion there were no concerns raised about my professionalism, content creation or reviewing competency, which are the primary things needed with processing DYK queues. I do not meet some of the standard template editor guidelines (e.g. sandbox/significant template edits, etc), but I also do not plan on using the role outside of DYK queue processing. Thanks for your consideration. ~<span style="font-variant:small-caps">[[User:Darth Stabro|Darth Stabro]]</span><sup>[[User_talk:Darth_Stabro|Talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Darth_Stabro|Contribs]]</sup> 16:46, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

:Are there any [[Wikipedia:Did_you_know#Actively_involved|active DYK]]ers that you are working with often that could leave support here? — [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 19:14, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
::I've seen Darth around at DYK but don't have the impression they're really one of the regulars. Looking over their contribution history I only see 33 hook promotions going back about 4 months (at least based on searching for PSHAW log messages). And looking through the [[WT:DYK]] archives, I'm seeing some consistent level of activity over the past 8 months, but not a huge volume compared to a few of the people that I would consider our major contributors to the behind-the-scenes DYK work, reinforcing my initial impression. Also, most of what I'm seeing (in an admittedly unscientific spot check) is routine participation in discussions; I haven't found any examples of complicated situations where they've had to carefully navigate contentious issues. In short, I'm not seeing any problems per-se, but I'm also not seeing the depth of experience and quality time in the trenches that an advanced permission like TE requires. We can certainly use more qualified hands at DYK, but I'd rather see Darth get more experience promoting hooks, managing the prep areas, and making tough decisions when nominators push hard for their own desired outcomes, before moving up to working on the queues.

:As someone who has worked with Darth Stabro in the past on DYK and is familiar with his work, I would support him getting the permission. He is a DYK regular and is familiar with the ins-and-outs of the project. Plus, we're short on hands, and more people being able to work with Queues is a plus in our eyes.
