Are you here to comment on another editor's request?
Requests for permissions is intended for editors requesting a permission for their own account. Since only administrators can effectively respond to these requests, general remarks from other users are rarely helpful. If you have specific information that is relevant to a request, please feel free to comment.
To make a request, please follow the instructions below:
NOTE: 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.
Fill in the form below, replacing "Reason for requesting confirmed rights" with a brief reason for requesting the right. Do not make any other changes. Do not sign the request – your signature will be added automatically.
If you do not see the form, go back to the page, and click "add request".
Please wait for your request to be approved or denied, checking back periodically so you can respond to any queries.
If you would like to withdraw your request, use the {{withdrawn}} template with ::{{withdrawn}} ~~~~
PLEASE NOTE: If requesting this permission for a legitimate alternate account, you must make an edit here with both accounts to prove the connection.
Requests that do not meet the above criteria will be delayed or removed.
Sorry, please be aware that unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.
Administrator notation templates
This template provides standard responses for requests for confirmed permissions at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Confirmed. You should not feel limited by these responses and should ensure that your response adequately addresses the user's request and provides them useful information about how to proceed.
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!
Not done – If the file you want to upload is available under a free license, it should be uploaded to our free media repository, 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.
Not done – Anonymous editors cannot be granted additional privileges. Although not formally needed to edit Wikipedia, there are many benefits to creating an account.
Question – You appear to be confirmed already. Could you please explain what message(s) you see or problems you are having that make you think that you are not?
You are not logged in. Your IP address will be publicly visible if you make any edits. If you log in or create an account, your edits will be attributed to a username, among other benefits.
