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 hereby voluntarily resign the adminship tools here on the English Wikipedia. I request to retain the following user rights: rollbacker, extended confirmed user, and autopatrolled. I do wish to retain adminship on Commons where I have continued to be an active contributor. Royalbroil 02:51, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done, with thanks for all that you've done as an admin. ϢereSpielChequers 06:17, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Yeah... not sure how to feel about this one, because, to quote Bradv here: You're only here because of the forgiving nature of the admin who agreed to unblock you, which makes this particular desysop for inactivity have a different (and weird) kind of atmosphere. 185.169.64.9 (talk) 09:22, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  This comment appears to related to Cyphoidbomb who unblocked user:Foxnpichu (about whom Bradv left the quoted comment) in 2016. Foxnpichu has not edited since 2021. Thryduulf (talk) 12:28, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Not to suggest anything untoward, but it's an interesting coincidence that both stopped editing in April of 2021 (only for each to come back for a few edits later.) . - jc37 15:02, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Not to suggest anything untoward, but it's an interesting coincidence you continually say the same things an idiot would say. Floquenbeam (talk) 16:03, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I'll accept that, especially as I don't know any of the editors in question. Just one of those odd coincidences... - jc37 17:18, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  p.s. Thanks for your years of work, Cyphoidbomb. Floquenbeam (talk) 16:04, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have the unfortunate task of reporting the death of Nosebagbear, which came to us through ticket:2023090110003382. I have subsequently removed his administrator status. Primefac (talk) 11:49, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. They were editing very recently.

I'm hesitant to do it, but someone should be kind, and archive their talk page. - jc37 11:58, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I would, but I think an admin should do it, and preferably one who was close with TheBagBear, as he was also affectionately known. Before peeps start leaving messages. SN54129 12:12, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done, very sad to hear this. Ymblanter (talk) 12:17, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove the bit. It was fun while is lasted. KnightLago (talk) 15:26, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Please let us know if you need any of the advanced permissions. Primefac (talk) 15:32, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I now find myself blocked as I edit through a VPN. Could someone grant me an IP Block exemption? Thanks! KnightLago (talk) 15:42, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing. Primefac (talk) 15:50, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When I became an admin in January 2021, I was a college student with an internship and no real commitments. Today, I'm a burned-out CPA with a non-existent work-life balance and a wife. As much as it pains me to do this, I'm resigning the toolkit. I plan to take a step back, mainly just finishing up my current review/nomination commitments and shepherding my existing FAs and GAs, and hopefully sort some things out. I fully intend to return in some form, but I can't say when or if it will be as an administrator. Could be a couple months, could be much longer. If I could retain page mover, extended confirmed, pending changes reviewer, and rollbacker, it would be helpful for the low-level maintenance activities I intend to continue with. I don't think I'll need autopatrolled, as I won't be writing article near as often, and I don't plan on using the NPR userright. Hog Farm _Talk 23:41, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
