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.

Desysop request

Hey, all! Could y'all pull my admin bit, please? Thanks! Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 22:07, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

 Done. Enjoy your break. 28bytes (talk) 22:11, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, 28b, I think I will. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 22:15, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Resysop request: El_C

Apologies, I seem to have missed the notice this year. Please do restore my sysop flag; despite my inactivity, having the ability to read deleted entries continues to be helpful to my research — which is going... not as well as the actual writing, but high-on-optimism I persevere, probably! But, of course, so sorry for remaining so otherwise busy elsewhere. I do still hope to return one of these days in-force (but I appear to have been saying that a lot lately!). Much love, Misses-and-Kisses, to all my friends and colleagues here, El_C 22:50, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

 Done. It's usual to wait 24 hours before actioning these sorts of requests, but as I removed the rights myself for purely procedural reasons less than a month ago, that seems like process for the sake of process. Welcome back. WJBscribe (talk) 23:40, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Account rename request (for someone else's account)

Hi Bureaucrats. I would like to request that (indef blocked) <redacted> be renamed to <something else>, per WP:BLPABUSE, as the current username is a racial attack against (black) Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton. Apologies in advance if this request should have been listed at WP:CHU, but that seemed to be for requests to rename one's own account, which this is not. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 02:40, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Note that requests for removing attack usernames from logs, etc, should be reported to the Oversight team for evaluation and private removal. This specific username has since been removed from logs. LFaraone 03:41, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 04:10, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

No rename needed as name has been removed from the log. WJBscribe (talk) 15:26, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Changing usernames is slightly backlogged

Changing usernames is slightly backlogged. Might see if a bureaucrat can check this out. Dreth(^talk) 10:06, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Request removal of admin privileges

There have been admins who indicated I should lose admin privileges at ArbCom. I said from the beginning I would request that I no longer have the tools if any admin indicated I should lose them, and those arbs are admins. Therefore, I request of one of you here that you remove admin rights from me. Thank you. John Carter (talk) 17:57, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
