Hi Bureaucrats. I'm requesting the removal of my administrator rights as of January 1, 2025, as I will be generally retiring.

There's been an interesting discussion over at RfA talk, where its came to light that at least one oppose voter is reluctant to soften criticism in case it weakens their Oppose in close call situations. Per "Stated simply, editors should always treat each other with consideration and respect." from WP:Civility and my general impression of Crats, Id guess you actually give more weight to constructive thoughtful oppose votes like , compared to overly terse or otherwise non constructive !votes. Folk have been looking for workable incremental improvements that could be made to the levels of civility at RfA, so if its true you'd give weighting to the more constructive opposes, maybe one of you could make a statement to confirm? ] (]) 15:51, 14 January 2012 (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. 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.

    Query

    So, are we losing ZERO administrators in January 2025 due to inactivity (see Misplaced Pages:Inactive administrators#January 2025)? When was the last month that happened? I guess most inactive admins have already lost their privileges (there was a big group in 2023) and we are down to just active admins, well, at least active in editing if not admin work. That Criterion 2 made a big impact.

    Happy New Year, everyone! Liz 19:26, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
