I've known this day was coming for some time now, and I certainly understand why. Thanks for the tremendous amount of support and assistance you've given me over the last year. Don't be a stranger off-wiki. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER15:27, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've known you for a long time and you have been an all round great editor. Thanks for all your hard work and hope to see you someday back on Wikipedia. Goodbye. ~TheGeneralUser(talk)17:46, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't known you for very long, but you seemed like me to be a good administrator and checkuser, as well as an all-around nice guy, and I'm sorry to see you go. I understand, however, that there may be real-life reasons for your retirement that I don't know of. — SamX‧☎‧✎‧S14:04, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for all the tremendous work you did here. You became one of the most exemplary Wikipedians and this is a very big loss to the project. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours. Cheers! — ΛΧΣ2101:35, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
are missing a description and/or other details on their image description pages. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the images, and they will be more informative to readers.
I've unblocked, at least for now, 207.159.196.253 (talk·contribs), which is used by staff and patrons at the Queens Library. They're having a wiki-workshop training session tomorrow (requiring several new accounts to be registered), and besides that there have not been any bad edits from that IP recently.--Pharos (talk) 01:08, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Pharos. As WilliamH has retired, I'll take the liberty of responding. Since the abusive user has returned to that location a number of times to register and use sockpuppets, please let me know when the workshop has wrapped up so that the IP can be reblocked. I don't like blocking public library IPs like this, but sometimes we don't have a lot of choices. Thanks —DoRD (talk) 03:54, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As of 1 October 2015, any former bureaucrat who has not participated in bureaucrat activity for three years that wishes their bureaucrat permissions restored will need to request reinstatement at RFB.
If you intend to return to bureaucrat activity, please request restoration of permissions before 1 October 2015 or three years passes since your last bureaucrat activity, whichever is later.
“
Bureaucrats are expected to exercise the duties granted by their role while remaining cognizant of relevant community standards concerning their tasks. In addition to the "Inactive bureaucrat accounts" requirements, if a bureaucrat does not participate in bureaucrat activity[1] for over three years, their bureaucrat permissions may be removed. The user must be notified on their talk page and by email one month before the removal, and again and a few days prior to the removal. If the user does not return to bureaucrat activity, another bureaucrat may request the removal of permissions at meta:Steward requests/Permissions. Permissions removed for not meeting bureaucrat activity requirements may be re-obtained through a new request for bureaucratship.
^Bureaucrat activity is widely construed and includes acting or commenting as a bureaucrat at any venue including WP:BN/RFA/RFB/RFBAG/BRFA and responding to requests in their capacity as a global renamer or subscriber to the bureaucrats' mailing list or signalling that they remain actively engaged and available for bureacrat tasks.
”
To assist with the implementation of this requirement, please see Wikipedia:Bureaucrat activity. Modeled after Wikipedia:Inactive administrators and similar to that process, the log page will be created on 1 September 2015. Bureaucrats who have not met the activity requirements as of that date will be notified by email (where possible) and on their talk page to advise of the pending removal.
If the notified user does not return to bureaucrat activity and the permissions are removed, they will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFB. Removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon the affected user in any way.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
