Hi!

Hi, I am Lukas, a media and IT lawyer and amateur clarinetist from Hamburg, Germany. I've been a Wikipedian since 2005, and most of my editing takes place on German Wikipedia. I became a Commons admin in 2025.

In the Wikiverse, I try not to engage in too many discussions. However, I am in favour of transparent rules. Also, I would like to help making the Wikimedia projects more friendly and constructive. Please let me know where I've failed to do so.

As a member of Wikimedia Deutschland, I served as an elected member of the board from 2014 to 2022. I was a legal fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation during the summer of 2013, one of the privacy ombudsmen from 2014 until 2017, and a member of the Roles and Responsibilities strategy working group in 2019. You can read more from me on Mastodon.
