I just want to be confirmed because I keep track of Minecraft sales/updates and I'd like to be able to update them. Thanks for reading this, Kale ^^ Kale31899 (talk) 04:11, 12 August 2012 (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, and then use {{Edit semi-protected}} to request the edit be performed. I only recommend this until you're used to the challenges of reliable sources, the biographies of living persons policy, and other similar policies. 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!. (BTW you just need 6 edits to become autoconfirmed.)

User:SiMntjMMA

Hello, I am a huge MMA fan, and would like to help the MMA Community here on Wikipedia with keeping the MMA Pages up to date. I would like to request the 'confirmed' status, because I want to add something to the MMA Event template. I can't do this right now, because Wikipedia tells me I don't have the confirmed status yet. The thing I would like to add the the MMA Event template is the parameter ' SiMntjMMA 14:22, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

User:Bvick1636

Although this request IS for adding a photograph, I think it is important. My user ID is bvick1636 and I have not made the 10 edits required. I want to add a photograph of Olympic Medalist NICK McCRORY. He is from Durham,NC my state and he sent me the photo. IT IS copyrighted, but is the official stock photo taken with his being a member of the 2012 team. IT IN NO WAY is from the Olympics or depicts him winning or in any competition. Thank you for your consideration. I have been a financial contributor to WIKIPEDIA, and I believe I have added or edited more than just 1 article. Bvick1636 (talk) 20:03, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Question - What is the copyright status of the image(s) or file(s) you wish to use? Electric Catfish 20:12, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It was taken by the U.S. Olympic Committee, therefore is copyrighted, HOWEVER, I feel it passes the requirements as it is like a "stock" photo taken well before the competition so in no way is it of him performing in the 2012 games, winning his event, or in any way "of monetary value" like a photo taken DURING the games. He sent it to me (we live very close in NC) before going to the games - although I KNOW that does not mean it is not copyrighted. I feel any photo of him is going to have a copyright, but I plan to give credit to the Olympic Committee at the base of the photo. Like "Courtesy of the U.S. Olympic Committee".Bvick1636 (talk) 20:22, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Since Nick McCrory is a living person, the image must be considered free. Electric Catfish 20:29, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done - These types of images must be free as they are replaceable. Free images should be uploaded to our free image repository, the Commons. You do not need any special permissions to upload there and you can use the same username and password you use here. Electric Catfish 20:29, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done: I endorse this non-admin closure. Copyright photos of living people qualify for speedy deletion under Criterion F7, as they are considered to be replaceable. A free image donated to the Commons would be most welcome, though. -- Dianna (talk) 01:18, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Writing article that requires confirmed account to proceed Yatsdiap (talk) 01:26, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. Anyone can create an article. Autoconfirmed is only required to edit existing protected articles, move pages, and upload files. That said, just two more edits and you will be automatically autoconfirmed. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:07, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Henryka30

I forgot email on my other account so no way to reset the password. I live in Janesville, WI Paul Ryan hometown and I'd like to update some information on his semi protected page including uploading a publicly available picture of his house thanks Henryka30 (talk) 04:56, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. Unfortunately there is no way to prove that your previous account was yours, even if it is, so I'm afraid you'll either have to have to wait the 4 days & 10 edits to upload any files, or you can make an edit request for text. You may however wish to take the precaution of linking to your old account on your new user page to avoid any possible suspicion of WP:SOCK or hijacked account. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:59, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also an image of his house would be replaceable, that means we would insist only free image be used. You can upload free images to the Commons without any special permissions and with the same username and password you use here. GB fan 16:33, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:WhatCouldaBeen

I was browsing the internet a few hours ago for a game under the name Metropolismania. And I noticed Wikipedia did not have articles on the series, so I took it upond myself to create these articles, translate them, and cite the proper sources and the articles are coming along great. Except the images I used for the articles were deleted from commons because I did not know the did not allow you to make fair use claims like the English wikipedia. You see I thought commons was just the name of Wikipedia's upload site I did not know it was the European version of Wikipedia. I would like to request confirmed status so that I may continue working on these articles and make fair use claims to my images and I also need to move one of my articles to be titled under (video game series) instead of (series). The articles I am editing are all linked in the page Metropolismania (series), thank you. :) WhatCouldaBeen (talk) 13:24, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:98.64.141.231

Hello, As a new Wikipedia Editor- My Primary reason here, is to edit and maintain the article "Swaminarayan". Being a follower of Swaminarayan, who is a Hindu God- I currently maintain the article to prevent vandalism, sharing of incorrect information, and bad things, that are meaningless to do. Swaminarayan- has 2 different parts to it- BAPS, and Swaminarayan Sampraday- which are groups that follow the Swaminarayan god, but have different beliefs- spiritually. These 2 groups often, fight and I've seen on Wikipedia, that they are corrupting the Swaminarayan Article- by sharing incorrect information. As Wikipedia is a great site with so many visitors daily- I do not want some visitors to get the wrong information about Swaminarayan, and I especially don't want to see the visitors get incorrect information due to these 2 groups fighting. Due to this, I would like the Swaminarayan Article to be Semi-Locked. I am completely aware- that Wikipedia is a place where knowledge- can be shared by everyone who has it, but this knowledge should definetly not be wrong/incorrect knowledge. Therefore I request you as a respected Wikipedia Admin, to Semi-Lock the article Swaminarayan, so that incorrect information is not shared within it, and the article is not vandalized. There have been mild vandalism the past week, which I have undid. Also, as Swaminarayan is a god of the past, there are no new information to add in the article, as everything in the article is from the past, and we have acquired all information, and posted it- with 0 missing. Thank You Very Much for your understanding and Cooperation in helping me with this issue. I extremely appreciate your help, in reading this request, as it is long but informative than the average one. Mr. Raj H.

Hello, As a new Wikipedia Editor- My Primary reason here, is to edit and maintain the article "Swaminarayan". Being a follower of Swaminarayan, who is a Hindu God- I currently maintain the article to prevent vandalism, sharing of incorrect information, and bad things, that are meaningless to do. Swaminarayan- has 2 different parts to it- BAPS, and Swaminarayan Sampraday- which are groups that follow the Swaminarayan god, but have different beliefs- spiritually. As I am rewriting this article shorter, I am not attaching the History of Swaminarayan Article Edits, but feel free to look at it for proof.

These 2 groups often, fight and I've seen on Wikipedia, that they are corrupting the Swaminarayan Article- by sharing incorrect information. As Wikipedia is a great site with so many visitors daily- I do not want some visitors to get the wrong information about Swaminarayan, and I especially don't want to see the visitors get incorrect information due to these 2 groups fighting. Due to this, I would like the Swaminarayan Article to be Semi-Locked. I am completely aware- that Wikipedia is a place where knowledge- can be shared by everyone who has it, but this knowledge should definetly not be wrong/incorrect knowledge. Therefore I request you as a respected Wikipedia Admin, to Semi-Lock the article Swaminarayan, so that incorrect information is not shared within it, and the article is not vandalized. There have been mild vandalism the past week, which I have undid. Also, as Swaminarayan is a god of the past, there are no new information to add in the article, as everything in the article is from the past, and we have acquired all information, and posted it- with 0 missing.

The main thought in your head right now, is why do these 2 organizations want to corrupt Swaminarayan Article? Well since these 2 organizations have different beliefs, they want to make sure they get their beliefs, and their temple name, on Wikipedia, so people go to their temple and pay them money, and this is a very bad offense. If more people outside of the Swaminarayan Faith, like you understand this happening, you would rush to lock the article immediately, but not everyone is a follower of Swaminarayan, since there are other gods, and in this case, you may/may not have a clue what or who Swaminarayan is.

Again I'd like to point out, that I am not here to stop the good editing on Wikipedia, by locking a page, but I am here to stop the corruption, meaning- the BAD editing, that is going on in the page Swaminarayan. Swaminarayan, is currently a good article, and with all these vandalism, no one can tell the fact about how its a good article.

Think about it, if all the articles on Wikipedia were wrong, who would visit this website? Noone would, due to its delivery of wrong/bad information. Again, I want to go to the fact, that Wikipedia gets hundreds/thousands of visitors per day, I and you are also a visitor, now think about it, If the Swaminarayan Article, gets only 50 visitors per day, well if someone edited something bad in, wouldnt those 50 visitors be stuck with the wrong information? Vandalism in the Swaminarayan article needs to be stopped! Swaminarayan is my god, and you may/may not have a different god, but if someone is spreading false rumors about your god, will you like it? If you dont have a god, if someone is spreading rumors about you, will you like it? In this case its Wikipedia, meaning people, strangers you dont know, all around the world.

If you havent/dont know much information about my god Swaminarayan, feel free to read the Article, but I Am letting you know, we are ready to do things impossible for our God. Once agan, I plea to get this article semi-locked, because I dont want vandalisms to take over this article, and thats what it simply is, I am not here to stop the editing on wikipedia, but I want to make this site, better, get its name out there, so Wikipedia, can reach the world, and spread knowledge everywhere.

Thank You Very Much for your understanding and Cooperation in helping me with this issue. I extremely appreciate your help, in reading this request, as it is long but informative than the average one.
