== Speedy re-sysop ==


== RfA with no candidate acceptance or required disclosures ==
Tuesday night, someone, somehow took over my account and used it for some nasty vandalism (which you can read about ]). In the process of quashing this vandalism, ] speedily de-sysoped my account because the abuse had involved unprotecting and deleting pages.


There is currently a ] which does not have a signature accepting or perform required disclosures. Best, ] (]) 18:42, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
Although I don’t think I had done anything insecure with my password, I have since extra precautions (stronger password, stored behind encryption on a secure computer) to make sure this doesn’t happen again. I have a long and uncontroversial track record on Misplaced Pages and I think a speedy re-sysop should be uncontroversial. Can you please take care of this for me? ] (]) 14:20, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
:Raul has been on top of your situation. He is a checkuser and seems to have confirmed that you are again in control of your account. He is also a bureaucrat, capable of resysopping you, and yet he did not respond to your request for resysop on his talk page despite being online after you made it. Perhaps this was just an oversight on his part. In any case, a day or two without the tools is no big deal if it helps us ensure that everything is in order here. ] 15:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

The candidate has discussed an allegation of sock puppetry that ] is actually ]. Ordinarily I would not raise an issue about an alternative account, except that in this context, Oppose #1 by Edward Morgan Blake is deceptive. Either he needs to tell the truth, or keep quiet. He can't present himself as an independent party when he's not.

My own, brief investigation shows that the contributions of Blake and Gustafson editors dovetail almost perfectly, and they have interesting intersections on October 7, 2007 and October 24, 2007. Either it's one person, or they are two people taking turns on the same computer. I think there's enough here to request a checkuser, but I would rather that a bureaucrat handle this. ] <sup>]</sup> 06:40, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

:::Sure. I don't see many new users saying, "where's my welcome message?" in the edit summary. This reinforces the evidence that it's an established user with an alternate account.

    To contact bureaucrats to alert them of an urgent issue, please post below.
    For sensitive matters, you may contact an individual bureaucrat directly by e-mail.You may use this tool to locate recently active bureaucrats. Click here to add a new section Shortcuts

    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.

    RfA with no candidate acceptance or required disclosures

    There is currently a live RfA which does not have a signature accepting or perform required disclosures. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:42, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

    I'm not a crat but I un-transcluded it and left notices at various places. I know it's overstepping but I felt this was a very urgent situation since it may be an unauthorized RFA and the voters didn't seem to notice/care. (And the instructions are clear about acceptance before transclusion.) Levivich (talk) 19:00, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
    Thanks for doing that. We can't have that. Maybe we need to change the RfA Template so it stops transcluding being possible without a parameter being met.
    Happy for the transclusion to be reverted again when it is signed. Lee Vilenski 19:28, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

    I have rolled back the nomination to the point pre-submission. If and when Areaseven is ready to run, they can accept the nomination and proceed as normal. Primefac (talk) 20:24, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
    Yeah. Shame about the casual personal attack thrown in of course: the wholly unnecessary speculation as to the motives of those who voted. --SerialNumber54129 21:06, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

    Resysop request (Daniel)

    Hi Bureaucrats, requesting return of the admin tools which I gave up in October. Was originally planning on waiting until the new year, but per WP:ACE2024, upholding my timeline commitment of requesting back in late December instead (statement, comment).

    Original desysop request here in the BN archives for ease of reference.

    Thanks,
    Daniel (talk) 01:42, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

     Done

    Welcome back. I have restored your admin rights. ϢereSpielChequers 13:56, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
