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.
