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.

G'day, I no longer wish to edit Wikipedia and, as such, request that I be desysopped. Thank you in advance. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 07:07, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's done for you AustralianRupert. Thank you for your service as an admin, and thank you for handing back the mop in a responsible and community-aware fashion. I will make a special Barnstar for admins who responsibly resign when they feel they are no longer sufficiently active, and post it later. SilkTork (talk) 12:04, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is the Barnstar I quickly made up.

		Job Done
		For good services as an admin, and for resigning the tools in a noble manner.

I'd be grateful if someone made it prettier. SilkTork (talk) 16:23, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'd prefer Job Well Done:

Disagree. the latter suggests a singular, particular job, whereas the former has overtones of finality.

A terminus.

Job and finish.

Le fin.

Signing out.

Punching off.

Sayonara.

Arriva derchi Roma.

Note this denied resysop request after inactivity and Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Jackmcbarn 2. Maybe he was doing something in real life? Moneytrees🏝️^{Talk/CCI guide} 00:17, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You would assume it would be something like that, otherwise it would be odd to go through RfA again only to stop editing after only four months. Pawnkingthree (talk) 00:54, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
