I hereby voluntarily resign the adminship tools here on the English Wikipedia. I request to retain the following user rights: rollbacker, extended confirmed user, and autopatrolled. I do wish to retain adminship on Commons where I have continued to be an active contributor. Royalbroil 02:51, 29 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

• Yeah... not sure how to feel about this one, because, to quote Bradv here: You're only here because of the forgiving nature of the admin who agreed to unblock you, which makes this particular desysop for inactivity have a different (and weird) kind of atmosphere. 185.169.64.9 (talk) 09:22, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

  This comment appears to related to Cyphoidbomb who unblocked user:Foxnpichu (about whom Bradv left the quoted comment) in 2016. Foxnpichu has not edited since 2021. Thryduulf (talk) 12:28, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Not to suggest anything untoward, but it's an interesting coincidence that both stopped editing in April of 2021 (only for each to come back for a few edits later.) . - jc37 15:02, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Not to suggest anything untoward, but it's an interesting coincidence you continually say the same things an idiot would say. Floquenbeam (talk) 16:03, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

  I'll accept that, especially as I don't know any of the editors in question. Just one of those odd coincidences... - jc37 17:18, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

  p.s. Thanks for your years of work, Cyphoidbomb. Floquenbeam (talk) 16:04, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

I have the unfortunate task of reporting the death of Nosebagbear, which came to us through ticket:2023090110003382. I have subsequently removed his administrator status. Primefac (talk) 11:49, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Wow. They were editing very recently.

I'm hesitant to do it, but someone should be kind, and archive their talk page. - jc37 11:58, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

I agree, I would, but I think an admin should do it, and preferably one who was close with TheBagBear, as he was also affectionately known. Before peeps start leaving messages. SN54129 12:12, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Done, very sad to hear this. Ymblanter (talk) 12:17, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Please remove the bit. It was fun while is lasted. KnightLago (talk) 15:26, 2 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Done. Please let us know if you need any of the advanced permissions. Primefac (talk) 15:32, 2 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

I now find myself blocked as I edit through a VPN. Could someone grant me an IP Block exemption? Thanks! KnightLago (talk) 15:42, 2 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sure thing. Primefac (talk) 15:50, 2 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

When I became an admin in January 2021, I was a college student with an internship and no real commitments. Today, I'm a burned-out CPA with a non-existent work-life balance and a wife. As much as it pains me to do this, I'm resigning the toolkit. I plan to take a step back, mainly just finishing up my current review/nomination commitments and shepherding my existing FAs and GAs, and hopefully sort some things out. I fully intend to return in some form, but I can't say when or if it will be as an administrator. Could be a couple months, could be much longer. If I could retain page mover, extended confirmed, pending changes reviewer, and rollbacker, it would be helpful for the low-level maintenance activities I intend to continue with. I don't think I'll need autopatrolled, as I won't be writing article near as often, and I don't plan on using the NPR userright. Hog Farm _Talk 23:41, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

I've done what I can from a purely-administrative perspective. Thank you for your service, and I hope that things improve. Sdrqaz (talk) 00:30, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

(Non-bureaucrat comment) I was worried to see your rights changes pop up on my watchlist. I'm sorry to hear about your resignation, but I hope your offwiki life flourishes and that you can come back to the project soon as well. Thanks so much for all you've done, and it's been an honour.
