			This is an insulting accusation, and I suggest you withdraw it.

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.

Speedy re-sysop

Tuesday night, someone, somehow took over my account and used it for some nasty vandalism (which you can read about here). In the process of quashing this vandalism, User:Raul654 speedily de-sysoped my account because the abuse had involved unprotecting and deleting pages.

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? ike9898 (talk) 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. NoSeptember 15:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Mark resysopped Ik39898 himself a bit after your message. - Taxman 21:00, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Re-sysopping

Hi. Could someone with a spare moment re-sysop me? I gave up the flag when I left just over a year ago and I'd quite like to have the tools again now I'm back. Many thanks, Sam Korn 15:23, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Good to have you back, we lost three sysops in the last 20 days, and we need some more people.-Phoenix -wiki 16:41, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Done by Dan a bit ago. --MZMcBride (talk) 00:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow, serves me right for going on a break. Who did we lose? Pedro : Chat 22:10, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Rudget for one. :( - Mtmelendez 00:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Withdraw

I was going to put the closing banners up on Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/R 3 but then remembered people get mad because all the lists aren't updated and other things. Would someone mind taking care of it? -- R Contribs_@ 03:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Wikidudeman 2

~~Wondering whether this might be extended as it seems to have hit a late rocky patch. Spartaz 18:35, 21 January 2008 (UTC)~~

Now moot. Spartaz 19:23, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I apologize for withdrawing it, but given group psychology and my experience with dozens of RFAs, once it starts going down hill then it keeps going down hill. Wikidudeman 19:45, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Can someone please fix an account creation problem?

Yesterday, I tried to create the Salka account at WP:ACC. Due to problems with the e-mail address, the account was created, but but the e-mail never got through - causing a permanently locked account. Please rename that account to a name which will probably never be wanted, so that the account can be created properly for this user. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:12, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Done - account was renamed out of the way to User:Salka (creation error). WjBscribe 07:30, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/NASCAR Fan24

Candidate asked for the nomination to be withdrawn a few hours ago. Could a bureaucrat take care of it? Wizardman 16:16, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Kingturtle took care of it, though for the record, if a candidate withdraws, I believe anyone can close the nomination (including the candidate), not just the bureaucrats. Acalamari 18:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Sock puppetry at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Rodhullandemu?

The candidate has discussed an allegation of sock puppetry that User:Edward Morgan Blake is actually User:Jeffrey O. Gustafson. 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. Jehochman 06:40, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Here's an interesting edit: . Jehochman 07:11, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

What's the significance of that edit, Jehochman? Sorry if it's right in front of my face and I'm not seeing it. GlassCobra 07:24, 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. I welcome thorough checking of this situation for the purpose of dispelling any doubts surrounding the RFA. Jehochman 07:35, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
