Hi Bureaucrats. I'm requesting the removal of my administrator rights as of January 1, 2025, as I will be generally retiring. I would like my previous rights (autopatrolled, extended confirmed user, page mover, pending changes reviewer, rollbacker and template editor) restored. I would have waited a little closer to request but might not be online the next couple days. Thank you! -- ] (]) 17:49, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

I'd appreciate it if the other Crats reviewed my response at ]. Happy for someone to decide I was too harsh and apply the rename with or without an unblock. --] (]) 10:46, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
:(Not a Bcrat) I think you made the right decision here. Renames are a privilege, not a right. You made a very clear explanation, and I think that will suffice here. -- ] 11:30, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Dweller, why did you rename this user to "Renamed user 19" when they requested to be renamed to "A Nobody" ? I would be minded to agree to this rename, as it merely restates the earlier request. Renaming a user to a name not of their choosing seems to create a pretty serious GFDL problem - I can't see where this user has agreed for their edits to be attributed to "Renamed user 19". I won't rename him when it seems two other bureaucrats have declined the request, but I strongly urge you to reconsider. <strong style="font-variant:small-caps">] ]</strong> 14:56, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
:I was under the impression that the user had earlier requested a rename to "Rename user 19", and now requested a second rename to "A nobody". I can't find any such details in the logs though. ] ] 15:15, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
::I had that I be renamed as "A Nobody" on the 26th, but was as "Renamed user 19" instead. This past month has been one of the most bizarre and confusing I've experienced yet. I have been on a rollercoaster of whether I should edit, to what extent I should hide myself, and so on. The harassers have been formally and legally warned to leave me and my family alone and after a lot of hoopla that will hopefully work. I apologize for any vagueness or confusion from me as it has been really difficult to think clearly and know what to do. I experienced some stuff I don't care to repeat and wanted to leave, but it became apparent that there was no sense in it as some editors just kept mentioning me by my old username. I don't plan to edit in any areas in which I ran into conflict in the past. I only wish to be able to add worthwhile mainspace content when I have something worthwhile to add. And I pledge not to do anything that would make anyone who renames me regret doing so. --] 18:44, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

    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.

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.

    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,
