I am requesting reinstatement of Extended Confirmed Rights after their removal by ] for concerns related to "''gaming EC through adding a machine translation of ] and ] in many small edits without attribution.''" He asked me to "''make at least a few hundred edits''" to regain it.

Since the removal, I have added attribution to the concerned articles. I have made over 600 referenced contributions, focusing on adding reliable sources to improve verifiability, expanding content in alignment with Misplaced Pages’s standards, and enhancing article quality.

:{{u|Boutboul}}, are you using AI (such as ChatGPT or similar tools) to write your talk page messages and permission requests? ] (]) 09:03, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
::Hi @],
::I use ChatGPT from time to time to translate sentences or correct English syntax, as English is not my mother tongue. I also used an LLM to translate French Wikicode into English Wikicode; it’s much faster than doing it manually.
::Have you had the opportunity to check some of my edits? They are far from perfect, but I really try to follow Misplaced Pages standards (Verifiability, No Original Research, Follow Style Guidelines, etc.). I’m genuinely puzzled—I don’t understand why they are not considered valuable enough to regain my extended confirmed rights. I’ve been a Misplaced Pages member since 2006, with more than 900 edits in English and over 1,500 edits in total.
::Thanks for your time and interest. ] (]) 10:08, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
:From their to their talk, @] seems interested in CT areas. I have concerns about the EC request given other issues raised on their Talk. Courtesy ping @] who removed initially. ] ] 17:39, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
::They're also continuing to translate from French Misplaced Pages without proper attribution, e.g. . ] (]) 17:51, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
:::I properly attributed the translation by adding the template to the main page. However, a bot moved it to the talk page. I even explained this in a discussion topic on the talk page. Translation is not prohibited; in fact, it is encouraged by Misplaced Pages. ] (]) 20:27, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
::::{{tq|(b) Place the <nowiki>{{Translated page}}</nowiki> template on the target article's ''talk page'', for example:}} emphasis mine. Nor did you attribute it in the edit summary as required: {{tq|Add a statement to the edit summary of the target article of your translation providing translation attribution to the authors of the source article, including an interlanguage link to the source (translated-from) article. Example:}} This continued misunderstanding plus the LLM usage does not inspire confidence that they're ready to have E/C restored. They're welcome to edit in other areas but I explicitly do not think they're ready for CTs. ] ] 20:46, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
:::::Firstly, I am not sure why you are using the plural for me. I am the only one making all the edits, and my pronoun is 'he'.
:::::Secondly, I have attributed the text to a French translation in several edit summaries, for example, and . I may have forgotten some instances. However, if I am not mistaken, there is no rule stating that an editor must make no mistakes when editing to regain Extended Confirmed Rights. Furthermore, the quality of the translation is sufficient, as other editors appreciated it and upgraded the article from Start-Class to B-Class.
:::::In addition, using an LLM for translation, syntax correction, or any other purpose is not forbidden.
:::::It therefore seems that a decision not to reassign the Extended Confirmed rights would be arbitrary. ] (]) 10:24, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
::::::Using third-person gender-neutral pronouns is pretty common and normal online. I have a question for you Michael out of interest. If you acquire the EC privilege, will you use it to advocate on behalf of any of the parties to the Arab-Israeli conflict, thus violating ] and the part of the Wikimedia Universal Code of Conduct that prohibits ""? The reason I ask is that using extended confirmed privileges that way is puzzlingly common in the ] topic area, and I wondered whether you have considered these constraints. ] (]) 10:36, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
:::::::@], Thank you for your constructive message. I believe that we all interact, on all sorts of topics, with our biases; we all have biases. I also believe that the beauty of Misplaced Pages lies in '''collectively''' building reliable content, '''based on discussions''' grounded in valid sources, despite everyone's individual biases. This is the mindset in which I wish to use my Extended Confirmed Rights. ] (]) 11:38, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
::::::::Is there something preventing you from simply stating that you will not (consciously anyway) advocate on behalf of any of the parties to the Arab-Israeli conflict? Is it an unrealistic expectation given the nature of the topic area? That is what I would have done by the way, provided assurance that I'm not a potential disruption vector in a contentious topic area. And then try to make a case for restoration of EC rights on that basis. Of course, if you did that, you would probably the first editor in Misplaced Pages's history to do so. Feel free to ignore my questions by the way. I'm just interested in things that might help to depolarize the topic area, like explicit commitments to not advocate on behalf of parties to the conflict (although I'm aware that the adversarial nature of the topic area might, under certain circumstances, help to increase the quality of content). ] (]) 11:26, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::Like any contributor on Misplaced Pages, I respect the platform's core principles, rules, and best practices to the best of my knowledge. Specifically, I strive to avoid ] for any side and ensure that both my contributions and those of others align with the principle of ].
:::::::::Since you raise the topic, I believe the best way to depolarize a contentious area is to acknowledge that every party involved inherently has its own biases.
:::::::::Anyway, your concern is far from that of ] and ]. ] (]) 18:30, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
::@Star Mississippi, have you reviewed my edits? Could you please clearly explain your concerns? No one has provided a clear explanation for refusing to reassess my extended confirmed rights. Additionally, @ScottishFinnishRadish made an incorrect statement regarding proper attribution for translations. ] (]) 20:40, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting extended confirmed rights
Hello! A few weeks ago my extended-confirmed protection was removed for breaking ], I sincerely apologize for this, I was impatient and I had no knowledge of the rules existence at the time. I’ve done ~50-80 dummy edits on my sandbox, and have done over 500 cheat-free edits since. ] (]) 02:39, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Extended confirmed

Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions. (add request · view requests) Shortcuts
  • 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.
