Before making a request here, you should be aware that your account only needs to exist for four days and make ten edits and it will be automatically confirmed. Since the bar for automatic confirmation is deliberately quite low the vast majority of requests here are denied. Unless you are requesting confirmation for a legitimate alternate account your request will almost certainly be denied. Alternatives are presented below:
Are you here to solely upload an image? Please make a request at Files for upload for non-free images or use the same username and password you have here to upload free images at Wikimedia Commons.
Are you here because you want to edit a page, but the page is protected from editing? With no track record for your account there is no basis for knowing if we should confirm you early. 95% of Wikipedia articles are not protected, so you can dive right into those or use {{editprotected}} to request edits on the article's talk page
I would much appreciate it if this auto-confirmation could be passed as I am managing the Macclesfield Town, Macclesfield Basketball Club and am attempting the upload of a logo for the basketball club. I would much appreciate it if you could take this request into consideration as soon as possible. Thanks. Bradirvinethomas (talk) 11:34, 30 October 2013 (ACDT)
Not done - If the file you want to upload is available under a free license, it should be uploaded to our free media 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. If it is not available under a free license, it should be requested using the Files for Upload process, which does not require any special permissions. GBfan01:26, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This account is being created as a legit alternate to user:djd. Due to the recent password security breach, the password of all accounts were required to be changed. I did reset the djd password, but I've no clue what I changed it to. Unfortunately, I did not have email enabled, so it's not possible to recover my original account. This fits the criteria under Compromised accounts. I'm requesting confirmation so I can start moving the old account's user pages to this account. I'd rather not try to re-invent the wheel, or generate a bogus edit count simply to achieve auto-confirmation. I hope this makes sense ... I'm making this request specifically to keep my activities above board, and somehow, the idea of trying to achieve auto-confirmation status, in this situation, somehow seems dishonest to me.

Not done This request would only be granted if you would login with the other account and confirmed the connection, however according to your comment you can't do that. ArmbrustThe Homunculus06:32, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
affected users got an email informing them their account information may have been hacked. I think there was an official announcement somewhere as well. I came back from my vacation to find that the WMF had assigned me a temporary password and I had to come up with a new one. It looks like in this case the user forgot what thy changed it to, so we can't actually verify the connection. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:13, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
