Account creator (add request)

I need the rights to create user accounts. After I have created six accounts, I could not create more. Cervidae 18:16, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done, please see our School and University Project guidelines which disallow "Project" accounts. "Account names. Please do not create numerical accounts that match your university or school account numbers. While this may be initially convenient, if your students continue to edit Wikipedia, they may well wish to do so under a real name or a more congenial pseudonym. It also becomes confusing for other Wikipedians to review a number of edits made under very similar account names." Nakon 18:38, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I will create a page where I present my program. I created accounts with better names. The project lasts three months and I need about 60 accounts. Regards, Cervidae 18:47, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'd recommend gaining wider community support before going ahead with this project. Nakon 18:51, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The project is a private event. In a month I will teach 20 people about Wikipedia. In the first month, I work with students in the other two months with adults people. Cervidae 19:02, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Long-term Wikipedia editor since 2005, also a reviewer and rollbacker. Would like the extra permissions for further contributions towards Wikipedia, where necessary. -- 李博杰  | Talk contribs email 06:48, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done, this permission is only for editors that regularly create new user accounts. Nakon 08:27, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to edit edit notices, which I can't at the moment. Fridae'§Doom | Spare your time? 23:21, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You don't participate in the Account Creation process or have access to the tool, and that is what this permission is for. ~~ Hi878 (Come shout at me!) 23:55, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I know but I'd like to edit group editnotices, I understand what the permission is for but I will not abuse it if given to me. Fridae'§Doom | Spare your time? 23:57, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Not done. You've created 3 accounts, and have no use for this tool. that the tool allows the editing of edit notices is a side-effect, not a reason for granting this right, which is IMO, the most powerful right given on the discretion of a single admin.

Alright then, I understand the implications of misuse of any tool and I understand I need to be active in the process. So, I suppose I'll be more active in the ACC Process first. Fridae'§Doom | Spare your time? 00:02, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
