The Bureaucrats' noticeboard is a place where items related to the Bureaucrats can be discussed and coordinated. Any user is welcome to leave a message or join the discussion here. Please start a new section for each topic.

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 first raise the matter with them on their talk page. Please stay on topic, remain civil, and remember to assume good faith. Take extraneous comments or threads to relevant talk pages.

If you are here to report that an RFA or an RFB is "overdue" or "expired", please wait at least 12 hours from the scheduled end time before making a post here about it. There are a fair number of active bureaucrats; and an eye is being kept on the time remaining on these discussions. Thank you for your patience.

To request that your administrator status be removed, initiate a new section below.

Requesting resysop

Chamal N (current rights · rights management · rights log (local) · rights log (global/meta) · block log)

Hi, I'd like to request the admin tools back, which were removed from my account on 1 October 2012 due to an year's inactivity. I usually lurk around from about UTC 0400 to 1700, and came across several situations where the mop would have come in handy (mostly at WP:AIV, and random requests at WP:HD and WP:ERRORS) in the couple of weeks since I returned to regular editing. Those were the places I used to haunt back then so I thought I'd try helping out again. I promise I'll be careful and won't break anything :) Chamal ^T•C 04:30, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Welcome back! There's a 24-hour waiting period now, but it doesn't look like there's any reason not to grant the resysop request once 24 hours has passed. 28bytes (talk) 04:37, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Yep, don't see any issues here. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:32, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

No issues that I can find. He must be really good at hiding them... ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 07:50, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

No issues here,  Done. (X! · talk)  · @267  ·  05:24, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

fail in username change

Two days ago, I requested for my username to be changed from Charles35 to MidnightRequestLine. The procedure was done here. As you can see, my signature still says Charles35, but my userpage says MidnightRequestLine. When I try to log in, MRL does not work, but Charles35 does. I asked the user who finalized the change for help here, and they referred me here. Please help, thanks! Charles35 (talk) 04:22, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

There was no failure. You recreated the Charles35 account on March 5 because you were probably still logged in to one of your other accounts on another language wiki and you logged in again here without following the advice at the top of the rename page:

For editors with a universal login, be sure to logout of your global account before coming back to the English Wikipedia or you may accidentally recreate the old account.

Your MidnightRequestLine account is there, so you just need to login to it. You can find help for logging in over here. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 08:31, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

As this was a privacy rename, I have re-renamed the old account to something unrecognizable, and I have deleted the SUL for the old account, which should prevent automatic recreation. -- Avi (talk) 21:28, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Clerking at WP:CHU/S

Hi guys! I'll be travelling for the next four days or so and will thus be unavailable to clerk over at CHU/S. An extra set or two of clerk eyes (bureaucratic or non-bureaucratic) would be welcome to hold down the fort and reduce Matt's workload. See you early next week. Thanks, Tyrol5 [Talk] 04:31, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for letting us know. I'll try to be more active. MBisanz ^talk 23:03, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Request

Could one (or a few of you) good folks start that 24 hour clock thing and have a look around my history. Here was my "take em" request. Actually it was kinda nice to not have to worry about some things for a while, but I suppose it's better to be prepared than to pester other admins. I'm not sure what the current phrase is for it, but if anyone sees any "clouds" on the weather radar - feel free let me know. Now all that said:

• May I please have my tools back. Thank you for your consideration, and kind regards to all. — Ched :  ?  18:21, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
