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 semi-protected}} to request edits on the article's talk page.
  • Are you here because you want to change the name of an article? Please use the Requested moves process for that.

Good day,

As a new editor, I am eager to contribute by editing articles without distractions and addressing vandalism. However, due to the autoconfirmed status restriction, I am currently unable to access those pages.

I would appreciate it if you could review my contributions to assess whether I am qualified to hold these rights. Thank you for your time and consideration. Arc Rev (talk) 05:49, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  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 are 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 percent of Wikipedia articles are protected; this means that more than 95 percent of the articles can use your help right now! You will also automatically be confirmed in two more days, and I don't see a valid reason to bypass that waiting period. --Ahecht (TALK

Reason for requesting confirmed rights. I have completed 10 edits. I know how to add references, templates, section, subsection, images, etc. I know how to find reliable sources (not opinion). Understand consequences of disruptive editing. And know to always take neutral view.

Hence, I don't think it's necessary to wait for completion of required days.

I want to explore these user rights.

Therefore, requesting for early access to Confirmed user rights.

Thank you. Drontikar (talk) 02:13, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Not done. In my view, Wikipedia administrators do not have discretion under policy to grant this right early unless it is for a legitimate alternative account of someone who is already autoconfirmed. Since you have already made 10 edits, your account will automatically become autoconfirmed in two days from now (four days after you created your account).
