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.

Reaper Eternal (current rights · rights management · rights log (local) · rights log (global/meta) · block log)

Since I'm now more active following a busy couple years at work (pushing out our software product...), I am requesting to be resysopped. Cheers! Reaper Eternal (talk) 03:01, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Was removed for inactivity in Feb 2019, last admin action in Nov 2017. Meets time limits. — xaosflux ^Talk 03:21, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Please note, there is a standard 24-hold for commentary on resysop requests here. — xaosflux ^Talk 03:22, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No problem; I'm in no big rush. Thanks! Reaper Eternal (talk) 03:35, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure i've ever commented here previously, but may i say that this makes me happy :) Happy days, Lindsay^Hello 09:44, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question about Killiondude

Nothing to see here, this matter was resolved last year. — xaosflux ^Talk 20:23, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Section header was Emergency desysop of Killiondude. AGK ■ 19:54, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The blanking of Main Page [1] [2] suggests Killiondude's account may have got compromised. Emergency temporary desysop? Note there has already been a very similar issue with this admin. — kashmīrī ^TALK 19:45, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Eh? That was last year... Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:46, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(e/c) Emergency? when it happened in November 2018? Is this some Trumpian definition of "emergency"? --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:48, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) The diff you linked to are from Nov.2018 and have already resulted in an emergency temporary desysop. See Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard/Archive 39#Level 1 desysop of Killiondude. Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 19:48, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bloody me! You're correct. Will delete this request in a moment. — kashmīrī ^TALK 19:49, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have renamed this thread from Emergency desysop of Killiondude to avoid watchlist-induced panicking. AGK ■ 19:54, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! It seems this page policy is to archive and not delete. Anyone with a working Archive script thank you to archive this thread. Everyone - sorry for panicking (clicked Main Page history and saw two edits on the very top - assumed they are newest edits to the mainpage). — kashmīrī ^TALK 20:12, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On the plus side, at least now you know that if you really want people's attention on something, you just need to title your thread "Emergency desysop of...", and at least 3 people will reply in under 3 minutes. That's useful to know. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:18, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New bureaucrat : DeltaQuad

Following the successful closure of Wikipedia:Requests for bureaucratship/DeltaQuad, please welcome DeltaQuad to the 'crat club. DQ, if you are fast enough there's a request above that will soon be actionable :D — xaosflux ^Talk 01:30, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome! Also, about 1.5 hours on the above item.

···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 01:40, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I promise not to action it unless it is at least 12 hours overdue! — xaosflux ^Talk 01:41, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done, let me know if I screwed up the paperwork at all...I'm sure I missed something. *looks for the thick how to be a crat manual* -- Amanda (aka DQ) 03:37, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@DeltaQuad: mostly it is all at WP:CRAT - but for the most part everyone loves clerking for us (especially User:Graham87 - thanks Graham!) and will do most of the "paperwork" right away if you don't. — xaosflux ^Talk 03:40, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@DeltaQuad: (Non-administrator comment) There is 1 small thing you missed - when you added back Reaper Eternal's sysop bit, you left them with the redundant extended confirmed flag. Xaosflux already took care of that here, but for future reference the standard procedure appears to be removing the extended-confirmed flag. Anyway, congrats! --DannyS712 (talk) 03:48, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to you both. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 03:50, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome DeltaQuad! 28bytes (talk) 01:44, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(And LOL at the mad scramble among the 'crats to close the first successful RfB in years.) 28bytes (talk) 01:45, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, definitely lol. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 03:37, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
