User:Jensenjan

[edit]

Reason for requesting extended confirmed rights

My EC/XC status was suspended with extended conformed restriction due to a mistake in Special:Diff/1296492089. The status was removed by Star Mississippi, who said that I was welcome to reapply, after explaining myself, especially contradicting that I had won my status through gaming. After checking my editorial history, there was general agreement in the discussion that that was not the case. The discussion is located in: Jensenjan and WP:XC WP:GAMING I am now more careful with unintentionally wading into sensitive subjects and I continue to edit less controversial entries.I respectfully ask to have my EC/XC status reinstalled.

I respectfully ask to have my EC status restored. The claim of gaming was unfounded and unfair and has been widely denounced by the group discussion. Jensenjan (talk) 06:02, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I do support your case, but I don't think that "widely denounced" or "general agreement" are accurate. From a quick count, I see three suggesting it was not gaming (me, EscEscEsc, and Newslinger after they reconsidered) and three suggesting it was gaming (TarnishedPath, Bushranger, and Ravenswing). (Apologies if I misrepresented anyone's positions.) LordDiscord (talk) 13:55, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This request should be declined. The claim "After checking my editorial history, there was general agreement in the discussion that that was not the case." is not consistent with the contents of the noticeboard discussion at WP:ANI § Jensenjan and WP:XC WP:GAMING. The editor who encouraged Jensenjan to reapply for this permission shortly after it was revoked gave poor advice, as they have also engaged in permission gaming. — Newslinger talk 18:28, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, as the discussion WP:ANI § LordDiscord's gaming of the extended confirmed permission concluded that the other editor was not permission gaming, I withdraw my opposition and now support Jensenjan's request for the extended confirmed permission. I do believe Jensenjan was editing in good faith, and the community has established that small edits, when constructive, do count toward the threshold for obtaining extended confirmed. — Newslinger talk 20:13, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Has the community established that? That was a very brief discussion in the LordDiscord's thread, which was initially closed within 2 hours and with limited participation. TarnishedPathtalk 00:51, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Dear TarnishedPath,
I do not understand why you again unfairly target me on the claim of gaming, which I was not. I am now at 581 edits, but if you look at my attempts to master inserting a picture with the correct caption into a gallery in the entry: Synagogue, you will see how many tries it took me to get the right, even wiping out the whole gallery on the way. That is part of learning, which I gladly do in order to improve Wikipedia. As I pointed out previously, I'm not a native English speaker, so sometimes I have to work on a sentence over and over again until it looks like good English. Please do not interfer again in the process to regain my rightful status as EC. I hope you receive this in the friendly and positive way in which it was written. Have a wonderful day. Jensenjan (talk) 06:00, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Just commenting that I have no input to add on the request and am fine with whatever the reviewing admin decides. Star Mississippi 02:33, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Star Mississippi,
How can I advance my request to recover my EC status? It seems to be stuck.
Thank you in advance for your kind help. Jensenjan (talk) 06:03, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It will be reviewed when someone has time, which may be a while due to several bank holidays this week which may mean people are traveling or otherwise offline. There is no action you need to take @Jensenjan Star Mississippi 12:44, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for taking time to answer me. Jensenjan (talk) 13:09, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Done in light of Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1192#LordDiscord's gaming of the extended confirmed permission. Mz7 (talk) 00:33, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am going to be honest: I completely failed to notice until just after I processed this request that that ANI discussion was about a completely different editor (LordDiscord and not Jensenjan). I don't think it is worth reversing my action, however, as multiple admins have expressed above that they are not strictly opposed to re-granting this right, especially in light of that discussion. I would give a word of caution to Jensenjan to edit carefully from here on out and to expect some heightened scrutiny of their initial edits to extended-confirmed-protected pages. Best, Mz7 (talk) 00:42, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jensenjan to follow up on what @Mz7 said, I see Please do not interfer again in the process to regain my rightful status as EC. I now. You have no "rightful status", this is a volunteer project where editing is a privilege. Rights are earned and may be removed. Please be mindful of that as you edit. Star Mississippi 01:16, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Mz7. I am sure Jensenjan will make you all proud and we will see their exemplary work (as seen in Bornholm and other articles) in extended confirmed protected articles soon. LordDiscord (talk) 02:42, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Dear LordDiscord,
Thank you for your encouraging words. Jensenjan (talk) 03:04, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Can I have EC because my alt has it too. I thought confirmed was enough but I want EC too. Proof so I don't have to confirm again. --Anti-pro-air (talk) 22:29, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. I've gone ahead and also revoked the confirmed user flag since your alt account is already autoconfirmed. Mz7 (talk) 00:42, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
