User:UWECMatSci100

I am requesting confirmed rights for the permission to upload images to the page Hycrete as part of a project assigned to me in a Materials Science class. The images are copyrighted but we have emailed the company for their permission to use them and have received confirmation. UWECMatSci100 (talk) 02:02, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Chesteria 785

I am requesting permission to upload fair use images (video game screenshots). Thank you! Chesteria 785 (talk) 19:21, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Question: Please list the games you would like to upload images for and why the articles for those games need those images. -FASTILY (TALK) 19:32, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Answer: No problem, I would like to add a screenshot of the mobile version of Phase 10 to the Phase 10 entry. Chesteria 785
Why does the article need the image? There is no mention of a video game version of Phase 10. Adding this image would be an outright violation of Wikipedia non-free content criterion #8. -FASTILY (TALK) 20:06, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize, I should have been a little more thorough with my answer. I would be expanding the article to include mention of the mobile versions of the title and using the images to support this entry. I was also hoping to do the same thing with the Rubik's Cube article as it makes no mention of the mobile versions of the game.
Please expand the articles first, then upload the files (At any rate, you'll be autoconfirmed by then - i.e. the system will grant you the ability to upload files) -FASTILY (TALK) 20:24, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good, thanks a lot!

User:StumpyNZ

I have registered today in order to create an article. I have performed a number of edits over several years as an anonymous editor (mostly grammar and spelling edits and addition of references - although none that I can remember specifically off-hand), but have never felt the need to register until today.

I have read the new article guidelines, but having gone through a draft for approval process I now find the article caught in a talk page limbo - I'm not even sure if anyone else can see it yet and can't find clear instructions to submit it for review. I am confident that it is well-enough formed to release to the main wiki and have found instructions for doing so, but can't do it because I haven't been auto-confirmed.

The article is encyclopedic, referenced and not a puff piece. StumpyNZ (talk) 11:29, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done The directions for submitting your article for review are in the blue box near the to of the article. One of the lines says "If this submission is ready to be reviewed, click here and hit save to request a review". The "click here" is a blue link. If you click on it and save the article it will be submitted or review. GB fan 13:53, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did see that link at one point, but saved without clicking the the "click here" link. At that point the "click here" link became unavailable (I did look for it) and I was stuck in talk page limbo. I have since been contacted by another user who has provided me with an equivalent "click here" link. The article is now submitted for review, however I think the publication path for AFC articles should itself be reviewed. Given that this is the newbie publication path, it needs to be harder to derail than one missed click. StumpyNZ (talk) 19:53, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Considering how impossible it actually used to be for new editors to create an article, the process now is significantly better. The AFC process us always up for discussion - see the talkpage for WP:AFC (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 20:17, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Noted, thanks. I am now trying to upload images to the article (my own photos, to be released to the commons), but can't do that unless I'm confirmed either. StumpyNZ (talk) 22:55, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:IMAGE; WP:COMMONS does not need you to be confirmed (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 00:44, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure about that? I've tried both of those links now. Both give errors when I try to upload the image. I get this error from Special:Upload (linked from WP:COMMONS): "The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Autoconfirmed users, Administrators, Confirmed users." WP:IMAGE says: "Logged in users with autoconfirmed accounts (meaning at least four days old and at least ten edits) can upload media to Wikipedia." If non-confirmed users can upload images, please provide a direct link. StumpyNZ (talk) 05:02, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Commons:Special:Upload. Though of course, if you're not logged in on Commons when you try to upload, it obviously won't work. -FASTILY (TALK) 00:49, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I was hopping to edit the article Bapatla. I have been told that I will be auto confirmed in 1 day (before two days). However, waiting for 2 more days didn't give me the edit access on this article. Could you please consider confirming me? Thanks.

 Question: Could you please describe the edits you would like to make and list the page(s) you would like to edit? -FASTILY (TALK) 03:59, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First I like to add the text to Wikipedia page for "" The Wonder of You", because it is a official anthem of Arsenal. The pages which I like to edit are: The Wonder of You and Arsenal.

The article, The Wonder of You, is not protected at all and you can edit it without any additional permissions. GB fan 14:06, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but Arsenal is and I like to add text for The Wonder of You in page of Arsenal.

 Not done There are some simple, basic, yet required concepts that you must be able to follow on Wikipedia ... among them is the simple idea of signing one's posts with ~~~~ ... my recommendation is that until you're familiar with editing Wikipedia, reliable sources, etc, that you discuss potential changes on the article talkpage to obtain WP:CONSENSUS (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 17:21, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I like to add some 3 sentences in part for supporters nothing else.

then go to Talk:Arsenal F.C. and explain there what you want to add along with the reliable sources for your addition. Also please add ~~~~ after your posts so that your posts are signed. GB fan 19:42, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Psico pp

Reason for requesting confirmed rights Psico pp (talk) 00:54, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

the page "psychology" need absolutely to change! it is a science; there are lot of books about this! it's ridiculous and it does not respect the profession!

 Not done, a major change needs to be discussed on the talk page and consensus reached first. GB fan 01:51, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

discussed with WHO? a random ignorant?.. is very professional from you. If this is the answer, then i can say: "why we don't delete the entire section? why others can decide what to write and then block the edits?"

I don't know who you would discuss it with, just like I don't know who you are. Anyone who wants to participate in the discussion can. If you were to go in nd make the changes without discussing it at all you would probably be quickly reverted. As far as deletion of the section, you can discuss that on the article's talk page also. Your attitude here just confirms that I made the right decision the first time. GB fan 20:45, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Why? what's my attitude? This is a free encyclopedia, but evidently someone has more power than others. Who are the people on the article's talk page who forbid me to write? do you realize that we are talking about an obviousness??!..Well this is indeed the reliability of wikipedia. Good work!
(Non-administrator comment)REALITY CHECK: Ok. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia with 15,000,000+ editors, 1,500+ administrators and 15+ Bureaucrats. Wikipedia policy as per WP:NOTABILITY, WP:VERIFIABILITY, and WP:RELIABLE SOURCES all set rules about how one can and must present information to this site. If it doesn't conform, it is rejected. If it does conform, it is accepted and properly cited as to trace back its source. If it no longer conforms, it is removed or altered with new sources to make sure it conforms. Why don't you auto-confirm yourself and edit the page so you can see how long your information is. BTW, I think I'm smelling a potential legal threat. It is also recommended and required that you sign your posts with ~~~~. Thank You.—cyberpower (X-Mas Chat)(Contrib.) 02:03, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Question: Please describe the copyright status of the file you wish to upload. -FASTILY (TALK) 08:52, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment)I'm a little concerned. This account was created on the 19th of February of this year and have only made 1 important and relevant edit to Wikipedia back then. This account became active again this December and the first edit it made, was to ask for Confirmed user rights. This concerns me just a little. In my opinion, I believe that you should start editing articles first, gain Autoconfirmed status, and then upload the image to the article.—cyberpower (X-Mas Chat)(Contrib.) 21:29, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Moorek0120

I have researched a topic included on a semi-protected page and must upload information to it to better the article as well as a requirement for a class. I would like to add information about contraception and abortion as practiced by prostitutes in the Middle Ages to the Prostitution main article under "history". There is currently no actual information from the Middle Ages, as it starts with the Renaissance. Moorek0120 (talk) 19:50, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Please use the article's talk page and discuss what you want to add along with your references for the information. GB fan 20:46, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Would I have to wait until they check my sources/approve my topic? The article needs to be launched as soon as possible. That seems a roundabout way to get things done, rather than just giving me confirmation.
(Non-administrator comment)Yes. Since you can't edit the article that you wish to edit w/o confirmation, you will have to wait until established editors that are committed to that article to review and approve it. You can't just be given conformation by just asking for it. You need to show that you can be trusted with that status. You would need to show more contributions or have something of pressing matters to gain this right. Am I making sense?—cyberpower (X-Mas Chat)(Contrib.) 21:06, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just confused on why there would be an option to be exempt from the waiting period of auto confirmation if I have to wait anyway?
(Non-administrator comment)Put it this way. Administrators cannot tell if you are a vandal or not based off of the limited contributions you have made so far. This page is primarily meant for established users who create a legitimate alternate account and need the same rights applied to their new account as they have on their old account. It is also meant for users who have an extremely pressing situation that needs to be handled immediately and would need confirmation to do that although, those situations are rare if at all. If you were an IP editor editing a specific article for years and it got protected, I'm sure if you showed them the contributions you made as an IP editor and asked for confirmation, that you would get granted. It would also help if you could sign you posts with ~~~~ and start you comments with 1 more : than the preceding comment did to maintain consistency. Thank you.—cyberpower (X-Mas Chat)(Contrib.) 21:18, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
For clarification, do I take the information I want to add and post it all on the talk page? Or do I request permission there by stating my sources and my idea then add my information myself? Thank you. Moorek0120 (talk) 21:27, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment)Since the page is protected, you won't be able to edit unless you autoconfirmed or confirmed. You go the article's talk page and request the edit be made for you. Please be specific as to where it should be made. Please also make sure you have reliable, secondary sources to back up the information you wish to add. I can offer to make the edits for you if they are acceptable.—cyberpower (X-Mas Chat)(Contrib.) 21:33, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
