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
I would like to make additions to the cheetah page under conservations. I would like to add a subsection about assisted reproduction as a recent conservation act to protect captive cheetahs. Being for a college class I have done extensive research with reliable primary sources from the school library as well as had my content revised and edited to make sure all sources were cited properly.
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! ArmbrustThe Homunculus 06:53, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
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. You only need two (2) edits to be AutoconfirmedMlpearc (open channel) 13:16, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: As a note, the image OP's trying to upload is not free and not suitable for Commons (organization logo). It should be uploaded here locally. Zhaofeng Li [talk...contribs...] 13:29, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I need my confirmed account in order to upload a new image to Hilltop_Hoods wikipedia page. The photo of the band that is there now is not even of the band.

This user is the operator of the bot Autoediter and wants to place a reuqest to give that bot a confirmed status. The bot is a legitimate alternate account, and this user will make another edit here with that bot to prove the connection. Gerry.y.ma (talk) 09:59, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This bot's operator has posted a request for confirmed user for this bot because this bot's duty is to correct Wikipedia articles. The operator has already made a request for this legitimate alternate account and this edit is used to prove the connection of both accounts. Autoediter (talk) 10:03, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question: I cannot see this bot listed on the list of approved bots. Has it been reviewed by the bot approvals group? Yunshui 雲水 10:07, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
