    • Before making a request here, you should be aware that accounts are automatically granted this group after 30 days and 500 edits.
    • This access is only required for editing highly contentious pages that have in most cases been protected by the Arbitration Committee or by community consensus under the 30/500 category. A list of these articles is found here.
    • Unless you are requesting confirmation for a legitimate alternate account your request will almost certainly be denied.

    [edit]

    I had my EC revoked last year by the arbitration committee. I have since completed the required 500 substantial edits to the best of my knowledge. I applied about a month ago and was refused because I didn't clearly understand the requirements. But hopefully this time I got it correctly. Tashmetu (talk) 13:58, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Xaosflux hey, sorry for tagging you. I just noticed you are the only active admin on this thread and I was wondering if you can look into my request or let me know who I can contact to have it looked at. Tashmetu (talk) 17:36, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Tashmetu, the ArbCom remedy requires that Tashmetu shows that they have made 500 substantive edits; all I can see is a statement that you did. While I think it doesn't mean you have to provide a list of all the contributions (that would be hard to review and pointlessly redundant to the full list), I personally think you should explain at least in some detail how you improved the encyclopedia since the revocation. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:57, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Fair point, I assumed there would be some process for this but I will do my best to explian. So I have worked mostly on the history side of Wikipedia, contributing to the "years in France" series and "years in Iraq " series, writing articles, adding details, events, and references. I have a huge library of history books so I thought that's the best use of my resources. I also try to create and enrich pages of notable Iraqi figures, though not as often because it's harder to find reliable sources for these. One of the issues I ran into while editing Iraqi history pages, because they are more recent, is the continuous topics keep coming up, like it's hard to talk about Iraq in the 90s without mentioning Kurdistan! This one of the reasons I would appreciate having my confirmation reinstated. Tashmetu (talk) 16:20, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    [edit]

    I had my ECP revoked 5 months ago. Since then, I've made hundreds of meaningful edits and currently have 806 edits. IdanST (talk) 18:16, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hello IdanST, please describe the meaningful edits and what you'd like to use the permission for. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:01, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hey, some of the edits I've made were focused on tidying up articles, such as List of snipers (you can check the history). These edits involved a major overhaul: adding sources, removing false or unsourced information, and fixing sentence structures. I've also made substantial edits to other articles, such as Embraer C-390 Millennium (you can check the history), Tilhas Tizi Gesheften, Oradour-sur-Glane massacre, Ayi Silva Kangani, alongside dozens of other articles where I've made meaningful, though not as extensive, contributions.
    You should be aware that most of these edits are the result of my work translating articles to the HE Wikipedia, as you can see here. Since my ECP was revoked, I’ve translated over a hundred articles. While reading the English articles before translating them into Hebrew, I also fix any mistakes or make improvements wherever I see the need. IdanST (talk) 18:15, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    [edit]

    I had my EC revoked because of gaming of the system. I believe this happened March 22, 2025. Since then, I have attempted to edit constructively on Wikipedia. I want to see if there is a way that I can get EC. Thanks again

    Hello Jlktutu, please describe how you have constructively edited since the revocation and what you'd like to use the permission for. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:00, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I believe that I have made over 1000 edits. However, I do want to put the edits in context. The vast majority of them have been Anti-Vandal. Have also made some other edits, such as one to the Article on Bitcoin. I do want to see if I can contribute to Articles that are EC protected. Especially when there’s something in the news that means the Article ought to be edited. For example, and I am not mentioning this for any special reason, Article on Jerusalem. I would have gotten EC if there was no gaming of the system. I have, however, attempted to become better. Hope I made sense and answered your questions. Thanks again. Jlktutu (talk) 04:11, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The Jerusalem article seems like an odd choice given that it is the most contested city on the planet and probably in the top 10 most controversial and difficult articles to edit out of the ~7 million English articles. Are you planning to change something there that won't be immediately reverted by one of the 1000+ page watchers? Sean.hoyland (talk) 12:59, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    No, I am not. In fact, it has nothing to do with that Article specifically. I was only using it as an example. I plan on making edits that will not have a need to be reverted Jlktutu (talk) 19:14, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Alt Account saluere,Ɔþʱʏɾɪʊs⚔11:29, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    For which purpose? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:48, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @ToBeFree Sorry, I did'nt notify. I've made it to edit on public computers. saluere,Ɔþʱʏɾɪʊs⚔10:30, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hmm. Your public computer account would then have the same permissions as the main account. The only purpose I can see then is to keep an account in case one is compromised. I will grant extended confirmation if you insist, but I think you should consider enabling two-factor authentication and leaving your public account as unprivileged as possible. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:02, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ophyrius: Can you confirm whether you still want the extended-confirmed permission for the Ofirius account in light of ToBeFree's advice above? Mz7 (talk) 19:49, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Mz7 Because of the advice, I would like this request of mine to be  Withdrawn. Thanks for using your precious time to reply to my request. saluere,Ɔþʱʏɾɪʊs⚔11:33, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Already done (automated response): This user already has the "extendedconfirmed" user right. — MusikBottalk10:30, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Sir, I am unable do to translation from my Tamil to English due to error in Initial Translation where the translation tools are not available. Thank you Chathirathan (talk) 06:44, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    That's not something we can help diagnose or fix on this page; I'd suggest asking on WT:CXT or WP:VPT. stwalkerster (talk) 13:10, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done. While the content translation tool is indeed restricted to extended-confirmed editors on the English Wikipedia, it's use on the English Wikipedia is for translating articles into English. As you want to translate articles from English you'd need to do the work on the Czech Wikipedia instead, and extended-confirmed on the English Wikipedia will have no impact on what you can do on the Czech Wikipedia. stwalkerster (talk) 17:36, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason for requesting extended confirmed rights: I want to contribute my knowledge and will for editing good articles. Also I will try to find more reliable sources. $govindsinghbabhan$ (talk) 23:24, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done. This permission is almost never granted early. Once you have made 500 edits, you will automatically get this permission. (And it is pretty much only removed if you use trivial edits to gain the permission.) JensonSL (SilverLocust) 01:32, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
