Confimation request
Hi! Can you please allow a couple of hours to think if you are really in need of a complete flag removal. In any case, please accept my apologies for this little delay and a warm "thank you" for your work on enwiki. Ciao, M/ (talk) 23:10, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No further time will be necessary - the account has too many permissions to be allowed to lie dormant with them intact Fritzpoll (talk) 23:11, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, as you wish. Thanks again and I hope to see you on wiki again... someday! --M/ (talk) 23:12, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

We'll miss you.

 * You'll be missed, Fritz. But I wish you well in your future endeavors.  Jamie S93 ❤ 23:18, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * support a speedy return back.  D u s t i SPEAK!! 23:42, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * support you using your wiki-time to kick butt in the real world. Hope you didn't over-extend your volunteer work. Remember, the work you did on WP lives on in mirror sites, even if WP folds. Take care of yourself first. S  B Harris 00:00, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Best of luck with your dissertation :) NW ( Talk ) 00:23, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry that things ended up with this, but I wish you luck IRL. Cheers! J.delanoy gabs adds  01:26, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Not sure if you'll read this, but I wanted to quickly say how much I appreciated working with you here, when we had that opportunity, and I was really impressed with your work both generally and at ArbCom - you've been great, and I'm very sorry to see you depart. Good luck with your study. :) - Bilby (talk) 01:29, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Not sure if you are better off leaving or not, that's always your call, I hope it's "better," but Wikipedia will miss you. Specially me. --Abd (talk) 02:41, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * It's a loss, to see you go. You'll be missed.  I hope real life will bring you all the best, good luck with your dissertation, and I do hope to see you around here someday again, or maybe in real life.  Best regards, --Dirk Beetstra T  C 08:38, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * You'll be missed; best wishes. Ncmvocalist (talk) 09:04, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * You will be missed, Fritzpoll. Pmlineditor   ∞  09:22, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * You will certainly be missed by myself, and by the community, the best of luck in whatever you chose to pursue, kindest regards, SpitfireTally-ho! 09:24, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Overturn.--M4gnum0n (talk) 16:18, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I see you . =) Happy trails. –xenotalk 16:22, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * One of the good guys, for sure. Keep in touch, and come back if it's ever possible. Best, Scott  aka UnitAnode  16:22, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Its a shame that the people who are trusted enough and valued enough to be elected to ArbCOM often end up following this path... it truly is a thankless task...--- Balloonman  NO! I'm Spartacus! 16:27, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * If you intended to leave so soon after being elected, what was the point in wasting time with an arb election? What happened? Anyway if you are busy with study and RL I understand. All the best for the future and thanks for all your help. You will be missed. ‡ Himalayan ‡  ΨMonastery 16:43, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I think there is a direct cause and effect corralary there... Fritz probably didn't realize how harsh and unforgiving things can seem for ArbCOM members... last year we had how many ArbCOM members either quit, retire, or be coaxed into not quitting?--- Balloonman  NO! I'm Spartacus! 17:57, 19 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm really sorry to see you go, we need more level headed administrators and editors who can keep cool under pressure. --Tothwolf (talk) 17:04, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for all your work on refereeing the Macedonia discussion. That was one of the few times Wikipedia's ever properly dealt with a contentious nationalism-related issue, and you were part of the solution. I regret seeing you go and hope you'll be back one of these days. Farewell until then. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 02:29, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Just found out, this is really sad news (at least for us at wiki), you had such a voice of reason, and one of my favorite Arbs. Hope you have a great life away from Wikipedia. &mdash; Coffee //  have a cup  //  ark  // 22:13, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

You are an absolute gem, Fritzpoll. A diamond in the rough, and other such cliches all intending to mean that you'll be missed. One of the best. All the best in your endeavors/endeavours. Keeper |  76  03:08, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know how I missed this, but I'm here to rectify that mistake. - Jarry1250 [Humorous? Discuss.] 20:44, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * You will be missed. Best, Ganeshk  ( talk ) 02:14, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Notice of change
Hello. You are receiving this message because of a [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Administrators&oldid=526254016#Restoration_of_the_tools_.28proposal.29 recent change] to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Missing Wikipedians
Just wanted to drop you a note that you've been added to the Missing Wikipedians list, should any fellow Editor wonder why they no longer see you around. Feel free to remove your listing if that is what you'd prefer. Liz Read! Talk! 14:27, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

He's alive and well Liz, he just retired from wikipedia for personal identity/security reasons. That doesn't make him a "missing person" gone AWOL. I thought missing person was for people who have left wikipedia for unknown reasons and have simply vanished without explanation?♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:09, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
