This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Xaosflux (talk | contribs) at 03:55, 1 February 2020 (→‎Wikipedia:Inactive administrators/2020#February 2020: new section). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

    To contact bureaucrats to alert them of an urgent issue, please post below.
    For sensitive matters, you may contact an individual bureaucrat directly by e-mail.
    You may use this tool to locate recently active bureaucrats.

    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.

    Per the final decision of the arbitration committee linked above, please remove the sysop bit from BrownHairedGirl (current rights · rights management · rights log (local) · rights log (global/meta) · block log).

    For the Arbitration Committee, SQLQuery me! 22:02, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • I would do it, but BHG and I have a bit of history in the disagreement on portals, so I recuse myself from doing this. ···

      • @Nihonjoe: so far as I am concerned, this is a purely clerical task, implementing an ArbCom decision. Bureaucrats are not being asked to exercise any discretion.
    So far as I am concerned, the ArbCom decision is deeply and multiply flawed, so I will be leaving Wikipedia (see User talk:BrownHairedGirl#Statement_by_BHG_on_the_ArbCom_decision) ... but it is also Wikipedia's highest authority in these matters, and is decision is final. So I hope that the community can rely on bureaucrats to implement ArbCom's decision. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:37, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I understand that. Still, I'm more comfortable with someone else doing it (and it looks like Xaosflux has done that). I wish you well in your future endeavors, whatever those may be. ···

    Unless problems are fixed within hours, I am resigning from Wikimedia contributions effective immediately. A series of great efforts, most recently many days creating and updating maps related to the

    2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak have been deleted or removed. Over the 17 years of my involvement I have noticed a clear, direct and unrelenting change in the culture of Wikipedia, making it ridiculously tiresome to contribute at all, despite bringing a unique skillset as a 20+ year software professional to the projects. I don't have time for this anymore. It's pathetic. Failing a 'fix this' button to save me time, I can only leave. Goodbye. prat (talk) 00:27, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply

    If this refers to
    Talk:2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak#RfC on map of infected cases that focuses on whether Taiwan should or should not be included in the map. Of course, if consensus on the talk page says that it should not be retained, then it should not be retained. It is unfortunate that these political issues are hindering editing of an article on an international outbreak. Dekimasuよ! 01:42, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply

     Not done @Pratyeka: it appears you are in a content dispute and those can certainly be frustrating - however there is no way for us 'crats to know if your "problems are fixed". If you want to have your administrator flag removed, please let us know explicitly. I do suggest you try going through some of the routine dispute resolution processes to work on your sticky situation first. Best regards, — xaosflux Talk 02:35, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
