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.

I'd close it, but I opined :) It's pretty much a no brainer, but 'tis better that it is closed by someone else :) -- Avi (talk) 14:37, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What a coincidence! I opined too! Hence the nonclosingtherfaeventhoughisawitwasoverdue. (X! · talk) · @190 · 03:33, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if this template should be added as HTML comment to {{RfB}} as it's already on {{RfA}}. I know it's named "rfa", but it could easily be changed to "rfx" to make it workable with both. Also, I was wondering if it would be fine to adjust the coding and removing some unnecessary parameters. It's completely unnecessary to ask the user for all the question numbers, one can just as easily use {{#expr:{{{1}}}+1}} and {{#expr:{{{1}}}+2}} to always raise the number +1. This would change syntax from {{rfa-question|4|question 4|5|question 5|6|question 6}} to {{rfa-question|4|question 4|question 5|question 6}}, making the template easier to use. Since the template matters for the RfA process, I thought it would be better to ask first. Please let me know what you think, --The Evil IP address (talk) 18:10, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly think it's a good idea to keep {{RfB}} and {{RfA}} more or less in sync with each other, given the similarity; I've added a line that references {{Rfb-question}} (which is just a redirect to {{Rfa-question}}). No opinion about the template syntax. EVula // talk // ☯ // 18:30, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think the change in the coding could be helpful, since it's probably quite annoying to have to spell out every number (of course you need to change the HTML comment to reflect it). On the other hand, that would make it impossible to use the template for numbering like "4a" or "4.1". Regards So Why 19:24, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is stuff like "4a" or "4.1" actually used that often? At least the current RfAs don't use it like this. If so, then it would be better to leave as is, though there might be options to find out if it's a question or a number by using {{Str ≥ len}} (a number will likely never exceed four or five characters, and a question will always be longer than that), but it might not be worth this hack. --The Evil IP address (talk) 16:29, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If people want to use 4a, 4.1, etc then they could always manually edit rather than use a template, e.g.:

Example question from me

4.1 Who decided that the plural of goose would be geese?

4.2a Who decided that the plural of sheep would be sheep?

4.2b Have you read Phantomsteve's Laws of RfA (Raul654's laws - Laws of others, rule 288)?

I can't remember the last time that I didn't manually enter my questions rather than templating them! -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 21:32, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rename

Resolved

I wonder if a 'crat could weigh in at User talk:21:48, 9 May 2008 (UTC). I've blocked the editor for a username violation and a rename is currently being discussed on their talk page. Thank you, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:12, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User:Bubba hotep admin rights

Hi, back in October, I applied for the temporary removal of my admin rights. I am now ready to resume duties and would be very grateful if this could be arranged. Thank you. – B.hotep •talk• 18:05, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gets my backing, but since I've worked with this editor quite a bit, I'd like to defer to my fellow 'crats' decision-making. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:08, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, and I couldn't find anything to suggest it was under a cloud, so I've restored the bit. EVula // talk // ☯ // 18:16, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much. :) – B.hotep •talk• 18:17, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So BN is going a fair bit better than RFA then. No comment on the interpretation of that.... Pedro : Chat 21:43, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I've just popped in and seen 4 green RfAs in the box at the top of this page, so perhaps RfA ain't as dead as all that... yet. --Dweller (talk) 19:56, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User:Digago and RFA votes

Resolved

In my role as a CU I came across this user, which I blocked as a block evading sock. This user voted in AlexandrDmitri and Tide rolls' RFAs. I also voted in AlexandrDmitri's RFA. I would normally strike the votes of Digago, but as I voted in one of the RFAs, I request a non-involved crat strike both Digago's votes and if they feel appropriate, strike mine from AlexandrDmitri's. Notified both candidates too. — Rlevse • Talk • 23:45, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did the sockpuppet vote twice? To be honest, Rlevse, there's no need to recuse yourself if you're simply using common sense. I really don't think anyone is going to reasonably complain about it. Aiken ♫ 23:47, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Digago voted once in each RFA. I thought it best to post here and let another crat decide. Thanks for the support though. — Rlevse • Talk • 23:48, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Given the fuss that resulted when I used both my checkuser and bureaucrat powers in conjunction, and the fact that was all agreed it was a bad thing and a mistake, Rlevse definitely did the right thing coming here. --Deskana (talk) 21:17, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
