Bauerbach has a history dating back to 2018, but has become quite prolific in the last nine months or so.  He's also been willing to take advice and has been relaxed about mod communications.  I think his promotion is long overdue.

And much as I don't really want to <grin>, I think it's time to promote Kuma as well.  Their edits are much improved from where they once were even if they aren't as good as we'd like, and of late I have been in the habit of simply hitting "Approve All" for them, because I know their edits these days will at least be acceptable.

Finally, I want to discuss SmileyB.  He's been editing since January 2021, but there's evidence he and Mrkelangelo are the same person (M replying to messages on SmileyB's talk page as if he were SmileyB) and he's the guy we had all the drama and "I made a video" over image licenses with sixteen months ago.  However, for the past year or so there's been no drama and his edits have been good.  I want to poll the other mods on whether he deserves a promotion.

The majority of Reddit users hates catholics for not supporting gay marriage, is trying to de-legitimise pro-life movements by calling them "forced birth", and hates capitalism. In fact, the chance of you being eventually banned for disagreeing on those topics with the majority of the site is nearly certain, so you can not even engage in dialogue with those people and they want to make no compromises. So I will not spread what they call "their" culture under any circumstances. Nonethless <name snipped>, the name of the trope is already perfect, my personal bias hardly matters here, I just do not want it to be renamed for some show militant anti-catholic socialists atheists like more than everything which aired on american television on the 2010s on top of changing it."

Please take a look at the linked edits; I am inclined to roll them back, but I want other opinions first.
