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.

Arbitration motion regarding Alex Shih

The "Alex Shih" request for arbitration is accepted. Given that Alex Shih (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has retired from the English Wikipedia, this case will be opened but suspended for a duration not to exceed one year, during which time Alex Shih will be temporarily desysopped.

If Alex Shih should return to active editing on the English Wikipedia during this time and request that this case be resumed, the Arbitration Committee shall unsuspend the case by motion and proceed through the normal arbitration process. Such a request may be made by email to arbcom-enwikimedia.org or at the Clerks' noticeboard.

If such a request is not made within one year of the "Alex Shih" case being opened and suspended, this case shall be automatically closed, and Alex Shih shall remain desysopped. He may regain the administrative tools at any time via a successful request for adminship.

Deletion Question

Hi. Should Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/SabyaC be deleted? See a, b, c, and d et al. for precedent. --DannyS712 (talk) 06:20, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

@DannyS712: the creator has been around for a couple of years and has 2500+edits, while it certainly seems TOOSOON we have no reason to just delete this, and its not hurting anything. Suggest you have a discussion with the page creator, who can request speedy deletion if he likes. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:14, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Resysop request (There'sNoTime)

There'sNoTime (current rights · rights management · rights log (local) · rights log (global/meta) · block log)

I requested the removal of my administrator bit back in December, and would now like to request resysop. Many thanks - TNT ^💖 19:43, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Less than three. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:54, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

TonyBallioni, what do you mean? --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 09:59, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

@Dweller: Less than three is <3 which is a ❤️ (or, as the case may be, 💖). TB likes TNT, ooooh. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 11:03, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

What Amory said. I typed it out in the edit summary in case anyone was confused, but, alas :) TonyBallioni (talk) 12:24, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Ah. Thanks. I looked at the edit summary and saw less than 3 there too, just written differently. New one on me. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 13:56, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Welcome back, there is a standard 24-hour hold for commentary on resysop requests. — xaosflux ^Talk 20:10, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Good to see you back. SemiHypercube 23:59, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Clever little user back with banhammer, good! (Bishzilla was admin once. Great feeling. Like, royal.) bishzilla _ROARR!! pocket 00:52, 15 February 2019 (UTC).

The wiki could use some more cats ~ Amory (u • t • c) 01:39, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

How about some puppy snoots instead??!?!?! Praxidicae (talk) 12:46, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

No, no more cats! More nuts instead. Ivanvector's squirrel (^trees/_nuts) 12:53, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

There'sNoTime for nuts. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 13:49, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

That's a problem, because nuts make up a large percentage of the editing population. Natureium (talk) 14:50, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

I don't have any nuts, but I do have this cat who's a bit nuts. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 14:52, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

 Done. 28bytes (talk) 19:43, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Dang it! I was sitting here staring at the clock so I could do this one. Useight (talk) 19:44, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

I'll be slower next time. :) 28bytes (talk) 19:46, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
