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.

Please remove my admin rights (William Pietri)

Hi! I have not used my admin rights in half of forever. It's something I keep meaning to get back to, but that doesn't look like it'll happen any time soon. So, as suggested by the RfC and the assorted menacing notices on my talk page, I'd like to give up my superpowers. Thanks! -- William Pietri (talk) 20:08, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done thank you for your service. I've taken the bit away, and have given you extended confirmed. If there is anything specific that you want back as a part of the toolset, let me know. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:13, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! One day, perhaps! -- William Pietri (talk) 20:16, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am no longer an active editor, and I don't remember the last time I needed admin privileges. Bob the WikipediaN ^{(talk • contribs)} 00:44, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done with thanks for your service. — xaosflux ^Talk 01:27, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Admin rights

Can someone explain the rationale for stripping admin privaleges from someoen who doesn't make 100 edits in 5 years? I've made about 100 in the last 4 years, but I keep an eye on the project and at some point might become more active again. But the beauracracy and beauracratic attitude at Wikipedia isn't inspiring me to do more! SamuelWantman 01:15, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
