==Requests for bureaucratship==
*''Growing Up Stupid Under the Union Jack'' [[1980]]
[[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats|Bureaucrats]] are administrators with the additional ability to make other users admins or bureaucrats, based on community decisions reached here. They can also [[Wikipedia:Changing username|change the user name]] of any other user. The process for bureaucrats is similar to that for adminship above, but is generally by request only. The expectation for bureaucratship is higher than for admin, in terms of numbers of votes, ability to engage voters and candidates, and significant disqualifications. Candidates might consider initiating a discussion here of the prevailing consensus about the need for additional bureaucrats before nominating themselves.
*''Public Enemies: Police Violence and Black Youth'' - [[1992]]
*''A Passage Back Home: A Personal Reminiscence of [[Samuel Selvon]]'' - [[1994]]
*''Pigtails 'n' Breadfruit'' - [[1999]]
[[Category:1934 births|Clarke, Austin]]
Bureaucrats are expected to determine consensus in difficult cases and be ready to explain their decisions. Vote sections and boilerplate questions for candidates can be inserted using <nowiki>{{subst:Wikipedia:Requests for bureaucratship/Candidate questions}}</nowiki>. New bureaucrats and failed nominations are recorded at [[Wikipedia:Recently created bureaucrats]].

==Requests for self-de-adminship and confirmation of adminship==
[[Category:Black Canadians|Clarke, Austin]]
[[Category:Torontonians|Clarke, Austin]]
Requests to relinquish adminship are granted on request and may be made at [[m:Requests for permissions]]. Do not place such requests here because the stewards will not act on them unless they are placed at [[m:Requests for permissions]].
[[Category:Barbadian people|Clarke, Austin]]
[[Category:Writers of Ontario|Clarke, Austin]]
If you wish to have the community confirm or re-affirm your adminship, the correct process is:
[[de:Austin C. Clarke]]
# Voluntarily relinquish adminship by placing your request at [[m:Requests for permissions]]
# Apply for adminship here utilizing the usual procedure.
If you have concerns about specific aspects of your administrative performance, consider posting a request for review on the [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents|Administrators' Noticeboard]] or employing a [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User conduct|Request for comment]].
