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.

Malformed RfA

I came across Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Kharavela Deva while patrolling Special:NewPages. The user is not elligible (not extended confirmed) and the RfA should be closed. Could an admin familiar with this type of thing handle it? Thanks. ''']''' (talk • contribs) 11:06, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Meh, it is not transcluded nor has anything been subst'ed to "start" the RFA. I see no harm in leaving it there for now. Primefac (talk) 16:35, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

(Non-bureaurocart comment) If it hasn't been opened, how can it be closed? SerialNumber54129 16:58, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

I have left a message on the user's talkpage with some general advice regarding requesting adminship. Useight (talk) 17:10, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Well you might be interested in Misplaced Pages:Database reports/Unfiled RfAs, which contains quite a few unfiled RfAs. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:22, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Desysop request (Tide rolls)

Please remove my admnin bit. Due to circumstances beyond my control (mostly), I won't be able to effectively serve in that capacity. Thanks Tiderolls 18:55, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done. 28bytes (talk) 19:01, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your many years of service to the pedia, Tide rolls. BusterD (talk) 19:20, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

I hope your circumstances change for the better, Tide rolls. Liz 20:03, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Desysop request (MaxSem)

MaxSem (t · th · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · pages created (xtools · sigma) · non-automated edits · BLP edits · undos · manual reverts · rollbacks · logs · rfar · spi · cci) (assign permissions) Hi, my participation in the recent years was just drive-by edits, so while it would be cool to just have the banhammer lying around just in case, there's no actual need for it. Thus, I'd like to resign. Thanks! Max Semenik (talk) 11:45, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done I've done that, thanks for all you did as an admin. Do you still want edit filter, and would you like Rollback or any other rignts? ϢereSpielChequers 12:23, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you WereSpielChequers, I'd like rollback. I'll request more if I need it. Max Semenik (talk) 18:45, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done. Just happened to have this on my watchlist, so I took care of it for you. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:20, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your service. Just to remind everyone, Maxsem, in addition to being admin here for ages, used to serve as a steward, and also as CU at the Russian Misplaced Pages (possibly the first ever CU there, but I am not sure).--Ymblanter (talk) 12:35, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! Max Semenik (talk) 18:39, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Do you want to retain edit-filter manager? — xaosflux 20:53, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Administrators on Luganda wikipedia

hello everyone, my name is ssegawa. I am a member of the wikimedia community usergroup in Uganda. I edit both the english and and luganda wikipedia. I am one of the leading contributors on the luganda wikipedia (which is in Uganda's most widely spoken local language) and can confirm that the content has grown over time but we are being let down on accessibilty since the new content can is inaccessible on our main page that continues to recycle relatively old content (https://lg.wikipedia.org/Olupapula_Olusooka). the system outlook also has words that are hard to understand and yet I own no rights to translate them. here (https://lg.wikipedia.org/Special:Statistics) I can see that we have only one administrator on the luganda wikipedia and I believe it is hard for that admin to handle all the work all alone. I thus write to you to seek your help and guidance on how and whether it is possible for me to be granted administrator rights on luganda wikipedia (https://lg.wikipedia.org/Olupapula_Olusooka) so as to be able to solve some of the challenges our local wikipedia faces. Some of my contributions on the Luganda wikipedia can be reviewed here https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_Community_User_group_Uganda/Luganda_Wikipedia_Training_2024_in_Uganda/students/overview, https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Uganda/Luganda_Wikipedia_Training_2024_in_Uganda/students/articles/Geossegawa and here https://lg.wikipedia.org/Special:ActiveUsers Geossegawa (talk) 13:12, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
