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.

Angusmclellan

Based on their talk page and page, it appears that Angusmclellan (current rights · rights management · rights log (local) · rights log (global/meta) · block log) passed away in November. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 13:57, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done, with thanks for their long service. –xeno^talk 14:38, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't think it appropriate to make an edit request on the talk page, but the user page is protected - can an admin please add nocat to the admin top icon (see Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians/Guidelines#Also). Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 00:58, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have also removed the EFM bit, because under Level II procedures, "If the account in question has multiple sets of advanced permissions, removal will generally apply to all of them." (ref) Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 22:26, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Kevin. — xaosflux ^Talk 23:00, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiversity strange situation: Finally completed Blocked with no further explanation ??? Really is this a wikimedia Foundation approach?

As noted below, editors of the English Wikipedia are not involved in the governance of Wikiversity projects. You may want to follow up along the processes at v:en:Wikiversity:Community Review Policy. If Wikiversity is actually out of control, you may try to seek assistance with a meta:Requests for comment. Closing this thread as out of scope for the English Wikipedia. — xaosflux ^Talk 05:56, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Being a regular contributor in Wikipedia and specially in Wikiversity things in the last days are moving fast against my contributions in Wikiversity. We have different opinions but I do my best to comply with approved community rules. Not sure if this is the place to rise my concerns but in my opinion some Bureaucrats from Wikiversity are trying to impose their believing with no community consensus. Feel free to review situation in: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User_talk:Tech201805#Blocked

And sorry if this is not the place to raise this concern. Any help will be appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tech201805 (talk • contribs) 00:45, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Tech201805: There is nothing anyone on the English Wikipedia can do about your block on the English Wikiversity. It looks like you were only blocked for a week, I suggest you wait it out and determine how to return to constructive contributions on that project once it expires. — xaosflux ^Talk 00:55, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback. I am not really concern about the block. I will probably not continue editing Wikiversity while same bureaucrats are in charge of Wikiversity. I have lost any good faith in their actions i just want to raise the concern about hostile actitud not backed by community approved rules that can repeat again against other or future contributors. Tech201805 (talk) 01:05, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To echo xaos' comment, there's really not much enwiki 'crats (or admins, or editors) can do about things happening at Wikivertsity; every project pretty much manages itself, with little (if any) input from the other languages. It might be better to post this at meta, if only because it's more of a "central hub" for the various languages/sister projects. Primefac (talk) 13:01, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Where is "meta" sorry but no sure where is it? Thanks.

Blocked, seems like some new account modified DevOps (pretty trending) page out of the 600 pages i have created and then i got indefinitely blocked. Everything sounds crazy to me. (Sorry if this is not the place, just let me know where to move this case if not here.) Tech201805 (talk) 05:32, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still somewhat mistrusful of the WMF, but I'm ready to pitch in again, at least until they come up with their next ill-advised, overreaching interference in en.wp procedures. Deor (talk) 20:24, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see nothing in the way following the 24-hour hold. Primefac (talk) 20:35, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see no issues, either. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 21:11, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
