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.

Please see Wikipedia talk:Administrators' newsletter, a person is logged into an admin account (i don't believe they mean any harm, but still). Happy Editing--IAmChaos 02:24, 1 June 2022 (UTC)@Bureaucrats: Happy Editing--IAmChaos 02:27, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

To the extent that CU can confirm any of this, the most recent post under Moriori's account was made from the same IP they've been using for about a month, so I'd call this credible. I've asked a steward to lock. GeneralNotability (talk) 02:42, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

He was Locked by AntiCompositeNumber. Happy Editing--IAmChaos 03:26, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Admin rights switched off per procedure. SilkTork (talk) 08:10, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the updates, agree while it was technically "compromised" seems as if it was certainly in good faith. — xaosflux ^Talk 09:17, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

RIP. Per his classic entry in the village stocks, this is not the first time that his account has been taken over. :-) Graham87 11:58, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Ha, what a droll story. It looks like moving the Main Page is no longer in the standard admin toolkit, only changing its protection level. RIP to Moriori and thank you for your many years of service to the project.  — Amakuru (talk) 12:10, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Indeed. It's much more difficult to delete the Main page than it used to be, as well. Graham87 12:21, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Only stewards can delete the main page? What is this restriction? Thingofme (talk) 10:15, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

There's a way around the main page deletion restriction, fwiw. TonyBallioni (talk) 13:30, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Do I dare even ask? Happy Editing--IAmChaos 15:59, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Probably not. I think it's best to just let me know if the need to delete the Main Page ever arises. :-) Maxim_(talk) 16:43, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Desysop request (Ioeth)

Ioeth (t · th · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · pages created (xtools · sigma) · non-automated edits · BLP edits · undos · manual reverts · rollbacks · logs ^{(blocks · rights · moves)} · rfar · spi · cci) (assign permissions)^{(acc · ap · ev · fm · mms · npr · pm · pc · rb · te)}

It's been a while since I've been particularly active on the project, and I don't have any plans to return to regular activity anytime in the near future. For that reason, I'd like to request my account be desysopped. Thank you! Ioeth (talk contribs twinkle) 17:37, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

 Done thank you for your past service. — xaosflux ^Talk 17:56, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
