+:1. While I do admit, I think some of the "hey, why am I getting these rights so easily?" might have been lost somewhere in the "WAIT ME?? REALLY??", and honestly, I understand how rights like these usually involve community trust and experience, but for the purpose of transparency, my accepting this nomination was done in mostly good faith, and I hope this election will validate it.
+:2. On a day to day basis, i would focus primarily on cross wiki maintenance, like handling spam, vandalism, and unattended issues on smaller or less active wikis, or even the inverse, like very large wikis that can't handle their size. Recently, the Italian Brainrot wiki migrated from Miraheze to WikiOasis. "Migration" is putting it nicely; I think the proper word is "eviction". Of course, I understand it was necessary, but a wiki having to leave Miraheze of all farms....it's going to be tough handling it. I think firstly though I would also see to some meta clean-up, since there aren't any sysops here yet.
+:3. I would say there is some overlap in the two roles, but I see global sysops as focusing more on routine maintenance (e.g vandalism + basic cleanup), while stewards handle more sensitive or complex matters that come with their tools and rights like CU and Suppression.
+:4. I think local administrators should always take priority on their own wikis and global sysops and stewards should act in a supportive capacity, not as replacements. I believe making that promise of "we won't interfere unless we absolutely have to" should be very important...though some wiki farms would disagree *cough cough* fandom *cough cough*. Jokes aside, I think finding the balance and knowing when to step in is something important that all global volunteers should know.
