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.

Role of bureaucrats in administrator recall process

Note that the Wikipedia:Administrator recall process that was developed as part of Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase II/Administrator recall has given the bureaucrats a new task. Once a recall petition has gained enough support to pass, the administrator in question must make a re-request for adminship or stand in an administrator election within 30 days. The bureaucrats are responsible to ensure that this is done in a reasonable time frame. If neither take place, then bureaucrats can remove administrative privileges at their discretion. Thus there is flexibility for judgement regarding what time frame is reasonable. Note the phase 2 consensus was reconciled in discussion at Wikipedia talk:Administrator recall § Initiating RRFAs (comment thread permalink) to work out this task. Your support of this process will be greatly appreciated! isaacl (talk) 16:55, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is also an ongoing discussion about whether there is any flexibility with the 30 days here: Wikipedia talk:Administrator recall#Outstanding questions. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:26, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove my administrator tools for now. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 21:13, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm super bummed to see this @Daniel, but I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for everything. You've been an amazing administrator who was always someone to look to as an excellent example of how to be, and I really do hope you pick the tools back up some day. If you don't, that's fine, I understand, but you've had an awesome impact on the site in a positive way. Hey man im josh (talk) 21:26, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, let us know if you need any advanced perms. Primefac (talk) 21:35, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Other admins are going to have to step up their game. Daniel, thanks for the hard work and I hope you're sticking around as a mere mortal. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:42, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the kind words Floq and Josh. I will still be active for sure, albeit at a lower level (I have 7 weeks away from home in the next 13 and it's summer here, so the 6 weeks I am here I'll probably be at the beach!) - I might even still close some AfD's once in a while :) I also look forward to picking up the tools at some point — likely next year — although I'll be keeping an eye on certain developments that are important to me when making that decision. Cheers all, Daniel (talk) 21:55, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

just adding my voice to the chorus here. Admins with a clear sense of right and wrong are a valued commodity. Enjoy the break. Just Step Sideways ^{from this world ..... today} 22:25, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
