- Personal info: (English)Hello, my name is Edward and I've been on Wikipedia since 2016. I have been an administrator since 2020 on the English language Wikipedia, where I also function as a Bureaucrat. I edit in a bunch of areas, mostly around quality content; finding admin volunteers and keeping articles in line with policy.
In addition to my role on the English Wikipedia, I have always been willing to help out with additional projects. I am often looking for users that I believe are suitable for Sysop on my home Wikipedia, and contacting the general public to donate images for my personal field of expertise - cue sports. I am also a moderator on the English Wikimedia Discord server.
In 2020 I was elected as a Sysop on the English Language Wikipedia, and two years later as a Bureaucrat, the first user to be elected to the position with an account created since 2010. If elected as a Steward, I would offer my experience, enthusiam and willingness to pick up new areas with me to the role. - Questions: See Stewards/Elections 2024/Questions#Lee_Vilenski
- Leaderboard (Eligible, checked by MdsShakil) • Your statement is pretty mediocre, in that it looks lazy and you didn't really explain what you plan to do with stewardship. That being said, you made a good effort to answer the questions presented to you, such as your answer to the question set to all candidates that was unique and had sufficient depth. As a result, you're getting my vote, since I mark candidates heavily based on potential, not cross-wiki experience. In the future though, if you don't pass this election, please make a better statement, as some of the other candidates have done. Leaderboard (talk) 15:10, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

- Stïnger (Eligible, checked by ZI Jony) • As far as I could see, his activity is almost limited to the English Wikipedia. No cross-wiki experience. I would like to see more cross-wiki experience and involvement in the future, and then I will consider support. --Stïnger (会話) 14:00, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- Sdrqaz (Eligible, checked by MdsShakil) • I prefer stewards to have greater administrative activity, as the candidate has made 26 logged actions on the English Wikipedia in 2023. I know that numbers aren't everything, but I think that a steward who wants to work at SRG should have made more than 12 blocks in a year. The experience, enthusiam and willingness to pick up new areas are good traits to have, but I have trouble seeing how the candidate's experience translates over to being a steward – I don't think that being a bureaucrat is enough on its own, sorry.

- Giraffer (Eligible, checked by ZI Jony) • I have great respect for the work Lee does on enwiki, but I'm not convinced that steward is the right role for him. He has no significant functionary, crosswiki, or technical experience, and his statement and questions don't really explain what he intends to do as a steward, nor why he is particularly suited to the role.

- Stemoc (Eligible, checked by ZI Jony) • say this every year, won't trust ppl who only edit enwiki and have sysop rights there with the steward tools..its not a stepping stone.. Stemoc 14:39, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- JrandWP (Eligible, checked by ZI Jony) • Sorry, although he had good works on enwiki, the crosswiki experiences are insignificant. JrandWP (talk) 14:41, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- MF-Warburg (Eligible, checked by MdsShakil) • Very little cross-wiki experience. The statement doesn't say why they run as a steward, and the answers to the questions seem rather vague to me, so I'm not sure if the candidate has a good idea of what a steward should do.

- Maximillion Pegasus (Eligible, checked by ZI Jony) • First, I'd like to thank the candidate for volunteering. It is always appreciated when people are willing to step up and take on more responsibility. However, this candidate lacks two vital criteria for me to vote yes. 1. This user is monolingual and 2. (the most important) There is a distinct lack of any cross-wiki activity/engagement, whether that be in the form of cross-wiki monitoring, taking on other global roles, or being active in some other form globally here at Meta or otherwise. I do appreicate his service at en.wiki, and hope he continues to do good there. Best regards, Maximillion Pegasus (talk) 15:38, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
