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.

Resysop Request (Deckiller)

I'm poking around again, and I'm sure I'll be using the sysop tools where needed. Great to be back! —Deckiller (t-c-l) 16:35, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Desysop was procedural for inactivity. I don't see anything which would prevent the return of the tools after the standard 24 hours. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:18, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Though I'm not familiar with User:Deckiller I don't see any problem that would keep his rights from being restored. The suspension only happened in November, 2016 due to inactivity. If he does come back as an admin, he should consider setting up bot archiving for his user talk page :-). EdJohnston (talk) 19:23, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done Welcome back. — xaosflux ^Talk 17:24, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Also, I probably should - people said that back in 2010 as well. I used to be very particular on how I archived, which is why I did it manually. —Deckiller (t-c-l) 04:01, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone

Just wanted to say, hello old friends, if any of you are still here. I've determined to make time in my life for this project again this year, after career and other obligations prevented me from doing so for the last five years or so. All my permissions are (quite rightly) long gone, I'm afraid, so it's just article work for now, but that's what it's all about, after all. I just wanted to check in here, since I spent so much time on and around this noticeboard in the past. I've missed you all and I hope you've been well. Dan 02:44, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 03:47, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What a wonderful surprise. Welcome back, Rdsmith4! :) Acalamari 12:15, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Great to see you back. Whilst you may not have the permissions anymore, please do feel free to comment on discussions here if you're around. We welcome your thoughts and good judgment. WJBscribe (talk) 13:05, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back from me, too. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 23:03, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks guys! Dweller, I love your "Old Fashioned Wikipedian Values" campaign, what a great idea. WJB, thanks so much, and I'll contribute what I can, but I doubt I'll chime in for a while -- much has changed and I need to find my footing first (and do plenty of article work, which is what got me hooked on Wikipedia in the first place).

Rdsmith4, best little 'crat ever! [Bishzilla sticks the little Dan in her pocket and pours concrete over the catflap.] Not getting away again! Stay! bishzilla _ROARR!! 23:14, 15 February 2017 (UTC).[reply]

We do have a few tunnels and emergency escape routes built into the pocket, you know, Dan. Particularly for weekends, when the servers from the strip clubs come in to work the admin/crat lounge. John Carter (talk) 23:19, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can't imagine what it was about Rdsmith4 that endeared him to you, 'Zilla [1]. Besides, I believe he is still defending reckless endangerment suits after 'Zilla went on a fire-breathing stampede having overdosed on the new-found power... WJBscribe (talk) 01:28, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

LOL! Hello Zilla, I'm so happy to see you're still here! And though I may have courted controversy with a few permissions decisions, I'm glad to say Bishzilla's never caused me any headaches or regrets. :-) Dan 08:57, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
