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.

i'm sorry to see that designation go, but indeed I haven't done much in recent years. I gave it my all back in the early 2000s became horrifyingly addicted to editing, and finally had to pull away. I will always do small edits and sometimes bigger ones. but, thanks all who continued to contribute in bigger ways. Elf | Talk 03:45, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Xaosflux: Haven't the rights been removed yet? I was updating the admin newsletter and thought I should remind you. – DreamRimmer (talk) 13:43, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

They are about to be - I usually do these and was travelling! — xaosflux ^Talk 14:01, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Desysop request (Wugapodes)

Wugapodes (t · th · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · pages created (xtools · sigma) · non-automated edits · BLP edits · undos · manual reverts · rollbacks · logs ^{(blocks · rights · moves)} · rfar · spi · cci) (assign permissions)^{(acc · ap · ev · fm · mms · npr · pm · pc · rb · te)}

I continue to have less time to volunteer than I would like. It's gotten to the point where simple requests are piling up and I've lost touch with CENT-level discussions. I'm not using them and it's more of a liability than an asset for the community at this point. Hopefully I will have more capacity for volunteer work in the future and I may request them again at that point. But until then it's best to leave block-delete-protect to those with the time and enthusiasm. I'd like to retain page mover and template editor which were the tools I enjoyed most before +sysop and which I will be most likely to use when poking around. Thanks for the ride, and feel free to say hi if you see my name pop up while I'm on wikibreak. — Wug·a·po·des 04:58, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Resysop request (Crisco 1492)

Crisco 1492 (t · th · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · pages created (xtools · sigma) · non-automated edits · BLP edits · undos · manual reverts · rollbacks · logs ^{(blocks · rights · moves)} · rfar · spi · cci) (assign permissions)^{(acc · ap · ev · fm · mms · npr · pm · pc · rb · te)}

• I would like to request a re-sysop for myself, with the intent of helping with DYK and alleviating some of the backlog. I have reviewed the criteria for re-sysopping outside of the RFA process, and I believe that I meet them.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:12, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

  They resigned the admin tools in August 2018 (BN request, confirmed here). Last logged admin action was a 1-year self-block in 18 August 2018, previous action was a deletion two days prior. They returned to editing for three edits in October-November 2019, and then in batches from July 2020, so there has been no 2 year period of complete inactivity.

  Over five years since administrative tools were last used might apply here. –Novem Linguae (talk) 11:08, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

  That only applies in inactivity removals, while Crisco resigned their access. Sdrqaz (talk) 11:13, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

  Hmm. Maybe Wikipedia:Administrators#Restoration of admin tools needs some clarifying then. The way I'm reading it it seems like any of the bullets in that bulleted list are disqualifying for resysop requests. –Novem Linguae (talk) 23:18, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
