For sensitive matters, you may contact an individual bureaucrat directly by e-mail.
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.

Desysop request (Kirill Lokshin)

Thanks! Kirill Lokshin (talk) 21:42, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
- Done with thanks for your prior service. — xaosflux Talk 22:21, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
- "Service" is an understatement when it comes to Kirill's experience and history on this project.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 23:50, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
- 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)
- @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)
The following inactive administrator is being desysoped due to inactivity. Thank you for your service.

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)
- @Galobtter: are you currently enrolled for WP:2FA? — xaosflux Talk 06:00, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Done (no additional wait period as has previously held). — xaosflux Talk 13:26, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
Desysop request (Cimon Avaro)

This is me. I don't know what the current policies are. I cannot be an effective sysop. Remove my admin rights. It will be a blessing. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 14:22, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Done. Thank you for your long standing service (since 2003), and for self-requesting. I think we should create a special barnstar for admins who honourably request desysop after long service. SilkTork (talk) 14:53, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- I second this. It shows, hopefully without patronizing this or similar admins, great character, honesty and self-reflection. ——Serial 17:20, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Agreed. I'm heartened by this trend of admins acknowledging such things. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:58, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Agreed. I'm seeing multiple of these, and I'm always impressed with the self-reflection. —valereee (talk) 18:03, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

- Can we have RfAs like his? —usernamekiran • sign the guestbook • (talk) 21:34, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
- Cimon Avaro was the fifth admin to be appointed by the community under RfA: [1]. SilkTork (talk) 08:52, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- They were made an admin because they wanted to "stop thinking about the subject", and three others agreed. Happy days. — Amakuru (talk) 14:35, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Note of trivia. Cimon Avaro, your RfB was used by MBisanz in a rather difficult question in my RfB. I also thank you for your very long service. --Dweller (talk) Old fashioned is the new thing! 14:00, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
Periodic bureaucrat activity review
Hello all, FYI: a periodic review of bureaucrat activity has been performed. There are no inactive bureaucrats requiring action at this time. See the report for details. The next possible action will be in September this year. As there are no imminent removals, an exhaustive search for possible edits which could have earlier timestamps has not been completed. Best regards, — xaosflux Talk 19:38, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
Desysop request (Jehochman)
Jehochman (current rights · rights management · rights log (local) · rights log (global/meta) · block log)
Hello, I have been an administrator for 14 years and have been thinking about retiring for the last year or two. I am not that active as an administrator and have not kept up with Wikipedia's expanding bureaucracy. I can be more helpful as an editor than as an administrator. For the avoidance of controversy, I want this resignation to be permanent, no resysop without a new RfA. That isn't going to happen any time in the next decade because I'm busy in real life. Afterwards, who knows. Also, may I please have rollback and any other goodies you give to experienced users?
I have a request for ArbCom. Please do not let concerns about me detract from your important work. I have requested arbitration over serious editing misconduct that has caused extensive damage to our articles related to The Holocaust in Poland. Please take care of the articles and ignore all the flak. Thank you. Jehochman Talk 01:14, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Done @Jehochman: removed, thank you for your prior service. I can't promise that every 'crat would refuse a reinstatement request - but I would defend the position that should you want to run an RfA in the future you should be fully allowed to. — xaosflux Talk 02:10, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
