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.

Request

I had a small request of the bureaucrats. As I'm traveling from Monday onwards, if my RfA is closed as successful, will the closing bureaucrat please be able to hold off on ticking the admin bit on my account till I get back to base and inform here? Thanks in advance, Lourdes 13:21, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I like the if, there :) >SerialNumber54129^{...speculates} 13:25, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How long are you expected to be away? I wonder if it might be better from a procedural and records-keeping standpoint to grant the privileges and then remove them per this self-request. –xeno^talk 13:29, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Xeno, a couple of days or so. To be precise, I would return possibly by Wednesday, maximum by Thursday. Lourdes 13:40, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That seems like the right move. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 15:00, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(I participated in the RfA) - I see no issue with closing it but not completing the flagging immediately due to this request the eventual flagging will still be "per the rfa". — xaosflux ^Talk 16:35, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, befitting the title of bureaucrat, I see :) Galobtter (pingó mió) 16:44, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As long as all of the procedures are done in triplicate, I see no problem with this. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 20:24, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Xaosflux. Lourdes 04:33, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see this thread on my watchlist before I closed the RfA and was only just made aware of it. My apologies for that. If any other bureaucrat wishes to remove the adminship on Lourdes' account and restore it when she returns, please do feel free - I accidentally clogged the userrights logs enough as it is by removing her old rights and not adding her adminship until afterwards!

Hi Acalamari, hope you're well. As you've not responded to my final email to you, I'm quickly logging on to leave an additional message requesting you to not wait for other crats to do this (just as I had requested on email directly to you). I know that you have to stick to the procedure; but you closed the RfA a few minutes before it was supposed to close, then added a wrong link of my RfA to Wikipedia:Successful requests for adminship/2018, then added another wrong link to Wikipedia:Times that 200 Wikipedians supported an RFX... And now you've left the above message with the edit summary "Oops". Requesting you again to not wait for other crats. Sorry for this hurried message. Thanks, Lourdes 03:35, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Lourdes: all of this is highly unusual, so I don't fault Acalamari - I can only assume you want to work on increasing your account security or the like. In any case, I'll remove your flag under the voluntary removal policy and you can come back here and ask for it back at anytime - please note asking for it here will trigger a 24-hour hold for processing. I will do this in 10 mins from now as a routine action unless you are online and say otherwise. — xaosflux ^Talk 04:35, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Done per your last request. — xaosflux ^Talk 04:48, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
