Thunderhead (remove)

edit

Hey there, everyone. I'd like to temporarily resign my administrative privileges. It's been quite a while since I've been working on the articles - I've been working behind the scenes on administrative tasks. I'd like to have my privileges removed so that I can focus on the articles. If at all possible, I'd like to regain them again in the future without a week-long referendum, but if I need to, then I can. :-) --Thunderhead (t - e - c) 02:08, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hold C628's reapplying for adminship kinda set a new precedent that says that former admins who want their privileges back must go through the week-long RFA process again. Are you ok with that? Benny the mascot (talk) 02:17, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • If resigned under non-controversial circumstances, and not "under a cloud", they can just ask for it back, without a new RFA. -- Cirt (talk) 02:19, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm fine with that, I just didn't want to be a bother with another vote. Right now, my main goal is to focus on writing - not admin tasks - so, that's not an issue with me. --Thunderhead (t - e - c) 02:21, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • Ah, yes — Cirt is correct! I took another look at the AAA discussion, and it seems that C628 had to undergo another vote because he resigned during a controversy. That is not the case here, so there should be no problem with giving your tools back whenever you need them. Best of luck! Benny the mascot (talk) 02:32, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Bawolff ☺☻ 02:35, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
