Extended confirmed

[edit]

Can i please have extended confirmed rights back. I lost it because one day when i had a little less than 500 edits, i made about 45-55 edits in one hour in order to get to 500 edits. Im new to this site and didn't know gaming edits was against the rules. Ever since i lost the extended confirmed thing, I've made hundreds of edits i think are constructive and i stopped vandalism a few times and have a much better understanding of the rules. extended confirmed rights HumansRightsIsCool (talk) 21:59, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @ScottishFinnishRadish: You seem to have revoked this right. Do you have any objection to restoring it? — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:11, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The first edit I reviewed was a BLP violation, and Aoidh said last time it was declined I would suggest slowing down and taking time to show that you can edit constructively in an extremely contentious topic area before making a new request. I'm not terribly impressed. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:21, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see that anything has changed since the last request. Between tripping the edit filter a few times a few hours ago by trying to edit another editor's user page and their behavior elsewhere, I don't think they're ready for XC. I think at minimum they need to show an understanding of consensus (it's not when there's a dispute and one editor agrees with you) and learn to use edit summaries, especially when constantly reverting others (see Tupac Shakur's history) before they make another such request. If they become XC and this behavior carries over to highly contentious topic areas like WP:ARBPIA, they're going to end up getting blocked or sanctioned very quickly. - Aoidh (talk) 05:36, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Two admins in good standing who are familiar with this case have reviewed recent edits and their feedback is compelling anough to deny the request. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 00:22, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to request extended confirmed rights. Although my account has existed for almost three years, and I've been editing wikipedia for longer without one, I do not edit a lot. Even on my home wikipedia I don't edit a lot. I mostly make minor edits (wiki gnoming) which fix small issues with wording, grammar or an incorrectly used template. For this reason, I won't be able to get the extended confirmed rights in the normal way - by waiting - for a long time. I am aware that requests like this usually get denided, but I'll be honest, the only thing the this 500 edits limit is doing is encouraging me to make useless edits ("gaming the system"). Of course I'll never do that, but it is frustrating when I want to fix an incorrectly used template, or other small issue, and can't (this is how I stumbled upon this topic in the first place). Anyway, I'm requesting this premission in order to give myself tools to help wikipedia. I solemnly swear to use it for good (however arbitrarily that may be defined) and not cause problems or trouble.

P.S. If one looks at my contribution history, they may assume that I'm requesting this access in order to vote in this talk page. That is not the case, and if one looks just a bit earlier, they can find the real cause. TheBooker66 (talk) 17:54, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Given the length of time you have had an account, there might be some room for allowing this, but you've only got about 10% of the required amount of edits, and that is just way too far below the expected minimum. We have WP:ECP for a reason, it isn't just to stop people acting in bad faith, it is explicitly to keep very inexperienced users out of contentious topic areas until they've learned a bit more about how to edit here.
