  • 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.

 Pending approval - please approve the request. FightStranger (talk) 09:59, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. I have no way to verify you have another account if you don't remember its name. Even if you knew, you would not be able to confirm from the other account it's truly yours. Fortunately, very few articles on Wikipedia require extended confirmed, so there is no need to be discouraged here! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 20:02, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Microplastic Consumer[edit]

I've been editing since 2022 and have not committed any instances of valdalism, the odds of me reaching 500 edits anytime soon is very unlikely (I am currently at ~320). In order to edit extended confirmed articles such as the 2024 United States presidential election, I need this privilege. Thank you for considering my request.

As the template says, your chances of being granted early extended confirmed are almost zero, since this account is not an alt.
If you need to edit that page, you can use tools such as Twinkle to inflate your edits, and you can go on recent changs patrol, since from one instance of vandalism you can squeeze out two or three edits. You would only need around 60-90 instances of vandalism, and the usual half-hour patrol can bring you between five and thirty. So just a two-hour patrol could possible bring you up to extended-confirmed status (let's say that the vandalism levels are high, and a half hour patrol would give you thirty instances of vandalism to fix. If you got three edits most of the time, it would take between an hour and a half and two hours)
. And if you also do other edits other than patrolling during the session, you could easily bring yourself to the status you want in far less time than you expected.
Moral of the story: You really don't need to request when in less than a day you can quickly, and easily, get extended-confirmed. My problem is: I have 640 edits (in 28 days, so around 23 edits per day), but I still need two more days to get the permission!
Also, do you have to edit extended-confirmed articles? You could just file an edit request.
