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.

Desysop (Ad Orientem)

Handing in the bit. It has been an honor and a privilege. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:48, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thanks for all you've done. Peace, bibliomaniac 1 5 19:52, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to see you go. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 17:40, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You will be missed. Thanks for all your time. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:40, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ad Orientem, I know I speak for many when I say that you are held in the highest esteem. Working alongside you over the years has been an honour and a privilege, truly. El_C 21:53, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"You will be missed" and "thank you for your service" are the usual platitudes, even when they're not truly deserved. Having said that, Ad Orientem, and I don't say this lightly, your presence will be sorely missed. There are dozens of admins who claim to "administer" Wikipedia, but there are only a handful who truly guide it. You were one and I deeply regret you moving on. All the very best. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 22:34, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I echo the above comments. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 07:38, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ouch! I really wish you had left your mop as is and just ridden off into the sunset. After a period of time, you might have wanted to return and pick up where you left off. I'm sorry to see this ... we will miss your skill as an admin. Softlavender (talk) 08:11, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Resysop is a relatively painless process, provided it's requested within the proscribed timeframe. Primefac (talk) 13:17, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I so wish it to be true in this case. Ad Orientem, you really are (were) one of the best ones... Regards So Why 12:46, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of admin position (Bduke)

I now longer wish to be an Administrator on wikipedia due to my old age. Please remove me. I will continue to make a few edits. It has been fun. --Bduke (talk) 01:08, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Primefac (talk) 01:31, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of admin rights (Yunshui)

In the same email in which Yunshui (current rights · rights management · rights log (local) · rights log (global/meta) · block log) requested removal of his advanced permissions, he requested that his admin rights also be removed. He does not anticipate a return to editing in the near future, and we need to handle this for him without forcing him to log in and do it himself.

Either Xeno or Worm That Turned will verify shortly, as they don't like to flip the switch on this kind of thing themselves. Thanks very much. :-) Katie^talk 14:15, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Confirming request received privately to remove the administrator usergroup along with the others. –xeno^talk 14:18, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

second confirmation too :( Worm^TT(talk) 14:20, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done, it's been a pleasure working with you. Primefac (talk) 14:47, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
