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 {{edit protected}} to request edits on the article's talk page
Hello Wikipedia, I am trying to upload an image onto a page, and it is telling me my account must be confirmed. First resort, I went to the wikipedia commons, as requested. However, I wrote down that I was not sure yet about the copy right information, and it was deleted a day later, which is when I found out the copy right information. Every time I try to access this "deleted page" it takes me into an empty template. I only have a beginner's knowledge of HTML, so, some aspects of Wikipedia still confuse me. I am using Wikipedia for a specific subject. I volunteer for a non-profit organization, and my edits pertain to its mission. I might be adding pages later and writing articles for them. I really just do what is requested of me, and I probably will not have ten edits anytime soon, unless I edit random pages. I also would not want to disappoint my supervisor by not posting this picture in a timely manner. I would very much appreciate being confirmed. Thank you for your consideration. dltorrise (talk) 22:20, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not done You have 14 edits, and will be autoconfirmed later today. Please note our conflict of interest policy that you have agreed to, as it does not permit you to write about a subject you're affiliated with, or its mission. As such, it's impossible to disappoint anyone - they cannot force you to go against Wikipedia's policies. ES&L08:54, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Edit: Thank you for your response. I understand the Conflict of Interent policy. I have no intention of posting biased articles or editing out any negative commentary. I simply plan on improving the quality of certian pages by adding more up-to-date information. Although I have an affiliation, I am not promoting anything. I believe this would constitute as an "apparent conflict of interest", rather than actually violating Wikipedia's guidlines. My account has yet to be confirmed. I would appreciate it if this was done manually. — Preceding unsigned comment added by dltorrise (talk • contribs) 16:59, 30 January 2014
Hi. I have edited many articles here on Wikipedia without having an account, since I did not know why to have one. Now I want to upload a picture from Facebook of Eileen Sheridan (former cyclist) into her Wiki page. Could you help me do this now?

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. GBfan10:49, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Not sure what you're asking - you have already uploaded an image to Commons, and you need no extra rights to create a draft in a sandbox ES&L15:33, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
