    Bureaucrat tasks

    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 again please

    I'm about to use the admin tools for one last time to block my own account. When you see I have done it, please then feel free to remove my admin bit again - I shan't be back, so I will not be requesting its restoration again. — Alan / Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:29, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Done. Your account can of course be unblocked at any time should you request it. WJBscribe (talk) 22:46, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    inactive admins for August 2014

    Resolved

    The following admins can be desysopped for inactivity:

    Thanks to all of them for their service to Wikipedia. Graham87 06:38, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Done, thanks to all three for their hard work and here's hoping they return. WormTT(talk) 07:10, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Interesting to note that Bryan, at one time, was the #1 (non-bot) editor in terms of edit count. I wonder what to make of this.--S Philbrick(Talk) 01:19, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I've posted at Jeffery's talk page, inviting him to engage with the Crats or myself. In the meantime, with the link between the accounts likely, but far from rigorous, there doesn't seem to be a strong rationale for overturning the desysopping. --Dweller (talk) 11:14, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I agree. Inactive desysops can be easily overturned if the user becomes active, he's been contacted a number of times, I don't see any reason to overturn until he asks. WormTT(talk) 07:05, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't agree and have reverted myself in similar circumstances in the past. I think the onus should be on us not to remove permissions unless people meet the inactivity criteria, rather than to make someone ask for the tools back when they shouldn't have been removed in the first place. I have personally dealt with Mr Gustafson under both user names and can confirm that they belong to the same person. WJBscribe (talk) 15:31, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I see your point Will, but WP:INACTIVITY clearly states "Admin accounts which have made no edits or administrative actions for at least 12 months may be desysopped" (emphasis mine). The procedure is, it seems to me, account specific not owner of the account specific. Just my 2p. Pedro :  Chat  17:23, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Inclined to agree with Pedro ,WP:INACTIVITY is clear .It is the account not the person of the account specified.An editor may edit using an IP this will not be taken into account.It was discussed here . Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 18:17, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Inclined to stick with commonsense. WJB's word is good enough for me and on that basis I'd be happy to grant the hat back to either account, if asked by the user. --Dweller (talk) 19:55, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Are there any other admins left whose user page link is red, or was Jeffrey an endling? ---Sluzzelin talk 20:26, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Nah, there are still a few of those kicking around, including, but not limited to, JzG and Trappist the monk. Several more have their user pages simply redirect to their talk page. The user logs are fairly easy to scan to find them, if you're so inclined. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 20:33, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks, that's a relief! ---Sluzzelin talk 21:00, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    De-sysop please

    Good day,

    I no longer see any sense in contributing to this place, and have no needs for the tools I have barely used in years. Good luck. MLauba (Talk) 00:44, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

     Done Thank you for your service and good luck. Acalamari 08:07, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Mkativerata 2

    Wold a 'crat care to stroll over to the above RFA and indent a few of the WP:SPA opposes? [1] [2] [3] Pedro :  Chat  07:46, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi Pedro, thanks for bringing this here. I'm not a fan of protecting RfA pages but I've semi-protected Mkativerata's request until the closing time and have blocked two of the accounts/IPs; Anna Frodesiak blocked the rest (thanks, Anna!). Acalamari 07:57, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks Acalamari (hope you're well by the way). Seems a most sensible decision to me. I just removed the pointless WP:ANI report made by the various accounts as well. Pedro :  Chat  07:58, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
