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.

Ihcoyc sysop flag

I am not sure if ArbCom needs to handle or not, but Ihcoyc has died and should probably have their admin flag removed. @David Gerard: was one to confirm this at User talk:Ihcoyc#Vale Ihcoyc --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 07:49, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@AmandaNP: Could you do the steward side of this? --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 07:50, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The steward side has now been done; rest in peace. Sdrqaz (talk) 11:51, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Sotiale. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 06:28, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Could somebody please check this message (my FB account was disabled, and I can not see anything there), and, if it is confirmed (which would be very unfortunate) remove the flag.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:51, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ymblanter: Please see the above section. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 07:54, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see, thanks.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:59, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the Sysop flag per David Gerard's report. My condolences to their friends and family. Ϣere SpielChequers 11:30, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The report was from Steve's sister posting on his Facebook, and he'd been ill for some time; sadly definite, I'd say - David Gerard (talk) 17:15, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@WereSpielChequers: Thank you. Sad day for the project. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 06:28, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Desysop request (Kirill Lokshin)

Thanks! Kirill Lokshin (talk) 21:42, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done with thanks for your prior service. — xaosflux ^Talk 22:21, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Service" is an understatement when it comes to Kirill's experience and history on this project.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:50, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I was about to just go ahead and add the autopatrolled bit as well, given his editing history, but thought better to just leave a note here. Due to changes in unbundling with sysop recently, he probably didn't have the separate bit, but obviously qualifies. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 02:52, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Dennis Brown: doesn't matter to me really - they could have self-assigned before resigning if they cared, but since they haven't created a new article in ~7 years it's prob not that important to them (no objection here though). — xaosflux ^Talk 04:01, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Interface admin request (Galobtter)

Hi, could I be reassigned the interface admin flag. Got a bit of time to work on WP:SDH so it'd be useful. Galobtter (pingó mió) 05:50, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Galobtter: are you currently enrolled for WP:2FA? — xaosflux ^Talk 06:00, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Galobtter (pingó mió) 06:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done (no additional wait period as has previously held). — xaosflux ^Talk 13:26, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
