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.

Requesting re-sysop after inactivity for Satori Son

I’ve been on wikibreak since February 2012, but would like to start getting back into things. Last month my sysop privileges were provisionally suspended due to that year+ of inactivity, so I’d like to formally request reinstatement. Sorry for the hassle, and thanks very much. — Satori Son 14:36, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Looks good to me. EVula // talk // ☯ // 14:58, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Looks fine to me. No hassle. MBisanz ^talk 15:08, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

I see no issues with this. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:10, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

No concerns from my perspective. Pakaran 01:52, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

(Non-crat comment) For the record, the crats have to wait 24 hours after a new amendment to the resysopping policy passed late last year. --Rschen7754 02:05, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

 Done Welcome back. Pakaran 14:43, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Much appreciated. Have a good one, all. — Satori Son 13:20, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Question about renaming and usurping

Hi, all, a user (User:Warrington) popped up on Drmies's talk page recently, asking about a name change. It seems that, while he used to use the name Warrington on enwiki, he uses the name Hafspajen on other wikis. He'd like his Warrington account to be renamed to Hafspajen for consistency, but the catch is that he's used the enwiki Hafspajen account (created through SUL, presumably) for 170 edits. Is it still possible for a crat to usurp his Hafspajen account and rename Warrington to Hafspajen, integrating the new one into SUL? The rules for usurpation say no if the account to be usurped has edits, but I figured if both are the same person... Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 19:26, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes, there's no problem if the accounts are the same person. It's not really usurpation, more like two consensual renames. He'll lose the 170 edits though; they'll end up attributed to something like User: Hafspajen (renamed). WJBscribe (talk) 20:10, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I asked him about that; he said he was all right with it. Should I tell him to make a CHU/U (or CHU/S?) request? Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 20:13, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes, please ask him to make a WP:CHUU request, so that it gets archived correctly, and edit it with his Hafspajen account to consent to the rename (and also prove that he owns the unified login). It should be done quite quickly. Pakaran 20:43, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Okay, there were some issues with the template, but I think they're ironed out, and he's made edits to the page with both accounts. Thanks! Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 21:50, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

 Done @CHUU. MBisanz ^talk 21:51, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I am requesting a resysop of administrative tools after they were removed due to inactivity.

Thanks. --Hdt83 ^Talk 01:12, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Looks fine to me to go in 24 hours. MBisanz ^talk 02:16, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
