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.

Temporary desysop request (Tamzin)

Tamzin (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'd like to stow the mop for a bit, to avoid stressors and distractions as I deal with a pressing off-wiki issue affecting someone close to me. This situation could last anywhere from days to months, although, regardless of what happens, I don't intend to request resysop for at least 2 weeks. I'll probably continue to do some content and technical work, so if possible, I'd like to retain/regain the three rights I find useful for such work: autopatrolled, page mover, and template editor. Thanks. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 03:45, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. 28bytes (talk) 04:30, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, 28bytes, and thanks to the whole bureaucrat team for all the work y'all do. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 04:35, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Resignation (Rschen7754)

Please remove my administrator rights.

After 18 years, it has become clear to me that there are significant disagreements between where this site is going and where I believe it needs to go. Considering that I need to be spending less time on Wikipedia due to a career and personal life, it seems better to part ways and move on. I thank those that I have worked with and wish them the best. Rs chen 7754 00:00, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sad to see this and hope you find your way back. But even if you don't, thanks so much for all you've done and I wish you all the best as you focus on your career and personal life. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 00:23, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Echoing what Barkeep said. I vaguely recall that you and I got off to a rocky start, but that was smoothed out many years ago and I've known you to be a good admin and a great Wikipedian. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:25, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. 28bytes (talk) 02:36, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree with Barkeep, it's always a shame when a good Wikipedian leaves the project and it's even worse when good Wikipedians feel they are driven off the project. Thryduulf (talk) 09:03, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Desysop request (TonyBallioni)

Please remove my sysop flag. I've also requested removal of my functionary flags at meta. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:56, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just saw this. While in some ways I'm sorry to see this, I think we all understand the time constraints of RL. Thank you for all you've done on-wiki. And I wish you well : ) - jc37 03:44, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise, personal regret from me to see you give up these. All best wishes though to you always. Lourdes 04:15, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your work and best wishes. Johnuniq (talk) 05:19, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done with thanks for all you've done here, and best wishes for the future. Ϣere SpielChequers 05:26, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
