I have been on for more than four days and have made more than ten edits, and I cannot upload pictures when I must. MatthewMcCoyTheOne (talk) 02:29, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) As of this moment you have 7 (seven) edits. Mlpearc powwow 22:06, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Done - a response to the above question will put you over anyway, so it defeats the purpose. Magog the Ogre (talk) 12:03, 16 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]
"BTW, I think I'm smelling a potential legal threat." what do you mean? "Why don't you auto-confirm yourself and edit the page so you can see how long your information is.". Beause i can't! BTW, this is the problem. People that doesn't know what psychology is that decides what it is! fantastic! there are, how many? Milions? milions books that tells psychology is a science; obviously someone here is more informed! in fact, believes that psychology is IO, ES, SUPER IO! great! Ok, doesn't matter. Anyway, i'll try to discuss it on the talk page, maybe is not like i'm saying. let's see. Bye
(edit conflict)x3 That attitude won't get you very far. Would you like me to help you to auto-confirm yourself. It's simple. Just ten random edits on your user page or talk page and you are auto-confirmed. Simple. That will then allow you to edit the protected page.—cyberpower (X-Mas Chat)(Contrib.) 11:13, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(non-admin closure) Already done You are now auto-confirmed. You may now edit the pages you wish to edit.—cyberpower (X-Mas Chat)(Contrib.) 11:19, 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]
  •  Done I will assume good faith, and also note that any images of this movie cannot be uploaded to Commons. Magog the Ogre (talk) 12:05, 16 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]


User:LoonySam13

I want to add correct and unbiased information on semi protected pages LoonySam13 (talk) 10:11, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Not done Hi, and thank you for creating an account to edit Wikipedia. Although I fully understand your desire to dive right in, many of our articles are semi-protected because they are controversial, prone to vandalism, or other reasons. As a new editor with few edits, it might be wise to discuss your edits on the article talkpage in order to gain consensus for your edits. I only recommend this until you're used to the challenges of reliable sources, the biographies of living persons policy, and other similar things. The good news is that fewer than 5% of Wikipedia articles are protected; this means that 95% of the articles can use your help right now! (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 11:44, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

edits to the Bill Cunnigham page

 Question: Are you saying that you are Bill Cunningham's publicist? GB fan 21:18, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I would consider doing a checkuser between the above account and this IP account. The IP account, licensed to Tribune Broadcasting, edited the WDCW page (Tribune owns WDCW) with PEACOCK language and stuff that was kinda NPOV. The above account reverted my revert of the IPs edits almost immediately, the account's first edit. The above account also edited WPIX (another Tribune station). Also, Bill Cunningham hosts his talk show, The Bill Cunningham Show, on Tribune owned-and-operated stations (including WPIX and WDCW). The show is syndicated and produced by Tribune Entertainment, a company owned by Tribune Broadcasting. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 21:34, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, it's a violation of Wikimedia checkuser policy to publicly tie an account with an IP address ;) -FASTILY (TALK) 22:32, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I am not tying the two together, I was just laying out all the information and letting whoever do whatever. If it appeared that I was tying the two accounts together that was not my intention and I apologize. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 23:38, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(non-admin closure) Not done You will be auto-confirmed in 3 edits.—cyberpower (X-Mas Chat)(Contrib.) 22:07, 16 December 2011 (UTC) [reply]
This editor will not be autoconfirmed for 3 days and 22 hours since they created their account at 20:40, 16 December 2011. GB fan 22:23, 16 December 2011 (UTC) [reply]
Isn't the criteria for auto-confirmation 10 edits OR 4 days. I believe I got auto-confirmed on the day I made account.—cyberpower (X-Mas Chat)(Contrib.) 22:26, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This is a good example if you're not sure of what you are doing Do not post cmt's here. Mlpearc powwow 22:38, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I was sure, of the wrong thing. Even editors can make mistakes. The important thing, one learns from their mistakes.—cyberpower (X-Mas Chat)(Contrib.) 22:46, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:ULTRASTAR123

I have made a lot of edits (55) and therefore I would like the confirmed userright. ULTRASTAR123| KABOOM! 14:42, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Question: Is there something you want to do that requires confirmed status? You can currently edit over 95% of the 6,829,506 articles on Wikipedia. GB fan 14:48, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment)In my opinion, this contributed substantially since creating the account. Reverting vandalism and reporting users. I believe this user should be granted confirmed status.—cyberpower (X-Mas Chat)(Contrib.) 15:50, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done You will be autoconfirmed in <36 hours. -FASTILY (TALK) 23:32, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Kumi-Taskbot

Does confirmation remove a user's contributions from Special:Contributions/newbies? If so, I think confirming this bot would be a great help for recent changes patrollers. Arctic Night 14:45, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdrawn per BWilkins advice. I wasn't aware of what happens re recent changes newbies - now I know. Thanks. Arctic Night 14:51, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
