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.

Ah, hi there. I did get the bot message about this, but the email notification was junked. Has this gone through? Ale_Jrb^talk 13:03, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ale jrb: do you mean it went into your junk folder? –xeno^talk 13:23, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done I've removed the administrator rights from the other 5 admins. User:Ale_jrb, let us know if you want your admin user-right removed, otherwise it will remain for another year now :) Worm^TT(talk) 13:47, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Xeno, yes I did - I have email notifications turned on for my talkpage, but the message from the bot went to my spam folder so I missed it. Worm, thanks. Ale_Jrb^talk 16:02, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! – Don't forget to update Wikipedia:Inactive administrators too!

--IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:22, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The topicons need to be changed as well.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 17:32, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

By all means, feel free to perform these updates; said edits are not strictly a bureaucratic job and can be made by anyone. Acalamari 18:55, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done I went ahead and removed the Admin topicons and userboxes (where applicable), and updated Wikipedia:Inactive administrators. (Sidenote: Man, there sure are a lot of Admins who will be desysopped for inactivity in February 2016!!...) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:02, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! (And you're right about next month...eek! I nominated one of them, too.) Acalamari 22:03, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request a return to the masses

After a great deal of thought, I am requesting the removal of my tools. Yes - I do have "non admin" accounts to edit from, but it is not the same as being one of the unwashed. I did this once before - and I have "left" the project before. I don't want to "leave" ... but I think I need to give back the tools. I have no idea if there are any "clouds" to be considered, but I think for now I need to be unencumbered of the tools. Thanks folks. — Ched : ? 04:55, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Enjoy your break. 28bytes (talk) 05:30, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Have to admit I didn't know you were an admin, but I actually think the best admins are ones you don't notice so that's not a bad thing. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 16:04, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

/sigh - to be clear to the 'crats this is as a result of a conversation on my page where I pointed out after Ched said that I had no problem calling for the "most stringent recourse" for others and I listed the last few situations where I've been in a situation of potentially calling for any recourse against other admins, pointing out that I rarely call or the 'most stringest recourse,' using as an example Ched behaving in a way that most people would consider violating NPA on my page and me not caring as an example of me hardly calling for the "most stringent recourse" against other admins. Somehow Ched transformed that in to deciding to make an unnecessarily pointy request to be desysopped. User:Kevin Gorman | ^{talk page} 18:59, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
