The Bureaucrats' noticeboard is a place where tasks related to the Bureaucrat permission can be discussed and coordinated. Any user is welcome to leave a message or join the discussion here. Please record any actions which require review below in a new section. This is not a forum for grievances. It is a specific noticeboard addressing Bureaucrat related issues. If you want to know more about an action by a particular bureaucrat, you should raise the matter with them on their talkpage in the first instance. Please stay on topic, remain civil, and remember to assume good faith. Take extraneous comments or threads to relevant talk pages. To request your administrator status to be removed, initiate a new section below. Procedural removal of inactive administrators is coordinated elsewhere.

Rename help

I know we're all busy volunteers, but I was wondering if I could get a few more crat or clerk eyes at WP:CHUS. I've been doing about 85% of the recent renames and don't mind, but sometimes I will ignore requests that seem iffy to me, hoping someone else will deal with them. Someone else dealing with them or at least commenting on them would be appreciated. Thanks. MBisanz ^talk 19:02, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

I will try to swing by more often. Should the community be thinking about appointing a new bureaucrat? WJBscribe (talk) 22:36, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Or just abolish the entire rename process :P Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 22:36, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm willing to help clerk WP:CHU and deal with malformed or inappropriate requests. (I'm not a bureaucrat and thus cannot rename users, but I am familiar with WP:UP.) Reaper Eternal (talk) 22:48, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Renaming question

Don't want to file a WP:CHU yet, since I'm not sure if it's appropriate, and there's absolutely no activity on the talk page, so I expect this is a better place to ask a question. There's currently a thread at WP:VPR regarding the new automatic edit summary produced when a page is moved, and someone has asked what happens if the username is later changed. Would it be reasonable for me to request a temporary name change for my alternate account to see what happens? If so, I'd be requesting a second change (back to the original), and that's why I'm unsure of whether it would be appropriate. Nyttend (talk) 16:45, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm unsure what you mean, the summaries are not going to change due to subsequent actions. If you want, we can test it on test.wikipedia.org, but I'm pretty sure that no, won't change at all. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 17:21, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Desysop

My wife downloaded some spyware to my computer and I don't have time to clean it (we're leaving for a road trip in about 10 minutes) and if I change my pass there is just as much chance that my password will be picked up by the spy ware. Therefore, I request a temporary desysop until I clean my computer and also if anyone sees any suspicious activity from either my account or User:TPBot, just block us both until I can sort it out.--v/r - TP 18:53, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
