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.

IAdmin return request

I write with great pleasure to request to be the first person in history to return my interface administrator flag (on the English Wikipedia, and most likely all of Wikimedia as well).

Yesterday, User:MusikBot II was deployed on Wikipedia:Geonotices. Since my use of IAdmin privileges has so far focused solely on geonotices, the successful deployment of MusikBot II means that I no longer expect to need IAdmin privileges on en.wp regularly. The fact that the new policy allows me to regain IAdmin whenever I need it gives me confidence that returning my bit is the right thing for me to do now. (It's like borrowing and returning a book and it's fun!)

Thank you User:Xaosflux, User:MusikAnimal, User:Cyberpower678 and everyone else involved with the IAdmin policy process and geonotice sync bot deployment process, for making my short stint as en.wp IAdmin enjoyable! Deryck C. 21:35, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you! :D You've been a great help as well. I'll note the bot has not officially been approved yet, but it seems likely that it will pass the BRFA. The trial ends on November 21. Cheers — MusikAnimal ^talk 21:45, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

 Done thanks for letting us know @Deryck Chan:. — xaosflux ^Talk 21:59, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

You're both welcome! In the unlikely event that anything breaks, I'm sure I will come back to ask for flag and get working --Deryck C. 22:06, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Deryck Chan, :-) I was considering returning it, but I've been a little active on JS pages not involving geo-notices, so I have decided to hold on to it for now. —CYBERPOWER (Chat) 00:28, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

de-flag mediation bots

MediationBot (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

This bot is no longer needed as the mediation committee has been shut down and marked as historical. Some of the MedCom members mentioned "the bots" so there may be more, I'll keep looking. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:58, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

@Anomie: OK to retire your bot? — xaosflux ^Talk 22:11, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Doesn't matter, there's nothing for User:MediationBot to do now. There's also User:MedcabBot for the long-defunct Mediation Cabal that's apparently still flagged. Anomie⚔ 23:31, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

OK, removed their old flags. We don't normally catch these in "cleanups" since you are still an active operator. — xaosflux ^Talk 23:34, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

• I couldn't find any other bots except the usual archive bots editing medcom pages so I think it is probably just this one. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:46, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Desysop request

Could someone please remove my admin bit? --Boson (talk) 11:15, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Have done so, restoring your previous user rights. Hope all is well. Worm^TT(talk) 11:24, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you! Everything is OK, but I will not be able to devote as much time to the project as I had intended. --Boson (talk) 12:48, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
