Well, that is indeed his wiki name: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Danny_B.>

That said, I have to oppose this request.

"Very experienced" with Incubator is not true, even though he is a long-time sysop there, in the handling of a recent request it turned out that he knew almost nothing about the Incubator policy. He even offered to resign as a bureaucrat back then, but didn't follow through with it.

Also in my past interactions with him I have never noticed an interest in the Requests for new languages, so I do wonder where this requests comes from now.

Also I'm very concerned about other issues surrounding him. Many users have problems with his behaviour, as can be seen in e.g. these requests:

<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Administrators/Confirm_2013/4#Danny_B.>
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Global_permissions/2013-09#Global_editinterface_for_Danny_B.>
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Global_permissions/2014-08#Global_editinterface_for_Danny_B.>
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Global_permissions/2015-08#Global_editinterface_for_Danny_B.>

I also know of some test-wiki contributors who have privately told me that Danny B. claimed they are his "enemies" - I don't think this would be conducive to a neutral handling of requests.

Given these problems, I do not think it would be good if Danny B. became a langcom member.

Best regards,

Can you give us a link to his wikimedia page so we can get to know him? I didn't want to assume that "Danny B." was his wiki name ...

Otherwise +1

Hi,

Danny B., a veteran Czech Wikimedia volunteer, asked me about joining the Langcom.

He is already very experienced with the Incubator, and he can help with cleaning up the long requests backlog, so I support this.
