Other
By request of the user except as noted. Many of the users listed requested that their adminship be removed either because they were no longer active at Wikipedia, because they were chiefly interested in technological contributions rather than editorial ones, or because they wished to focus on other Wikimedia projects. Some of the users listed voluntarily resigned their adminship status in recognition of the community's dissatisfaction with their activities; as such some of these cases, though nominally by user request, are not entirely voluntary. Former administrators may reapply for adminship by the usual means.
