Extended confirmed restrictions
Please be aware that all articles related to politics, ethnic relations, and conflicts involving Armenia, Azerbaijan, or both—broadly construed and explicitly including the Armenian genocide—are subject to an extended confirmed restriction. KhndzorUtogh (talk) 17:40, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry, I didn't know about that. Does extended confirmed mean 500 edits? Lapahafffe (talk) 17:53, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
- Yes and no worries, but please don't restore edits like this either before reaching extended confirmed ; the restriction says Armenia or Azerbaijan. KhndzorUtogh (talk) 17:56, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
- Also see WP:GAME and WP:ECREXPLAIN, reaching extended confirmed should occur naturally without gaming the system. KhndzorUtogh (talk) 17:59, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
- Okay thanks Lapahafffe (talk) 18:00, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
- Excuse me, but would adding a picture to Lavash (of Lavash) constitute a breach? Lapahafffe (talk) 18:06, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
- Oddly, food articles may sometimes fall under the broadly construed restriction. I think because of this section, Lavash may be covered by GS/AA. @The Bushranger would you mind clarifying please so I don't give a wrong answer? KhndzorUtogh (talk) 18:31, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
- In a vacuum, I'd say that just the history section should fall under GS/AA, and just adding a picture wouldn't be an issue. In the reality we edit in, though, I see ongoing ethnically-themed disruption over the last few months, so the whole article's going under ECP. - The Bushranger One ping only 18:36, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

- It seems clear, from your editing behavior at User:Lapahafffe/Azerbaijanis in Tbilisi among others, that you are attempting to "speed-run" gaining extended confirmed status. This is gaming the system and is not allowed. The ability for your account to become automatically extended confirmed has accordingly been revoked; to gain XC, you will need to manually request it at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Extended confirmed once you have reached 500 non-gaming edits. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:57, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
- Excuse me but how the hell does that work? Does me doing multiple edits on my article after another now constitute a rule breach? The reason I was doing multiple edits there that seemed off was because I was doing the edits while on my phone, which is why when I finished one I had to go out, save the edit and then do the next one, which is why e.g. when I was editing on my PC right before that, I could easily make big edits. If my goal was gaming the system I would've long split that 5,000 character edit into 50 edits maybe, or even other edits , before that, which I could've easily split when I was editing on my PC, but I didn't because, as afforementioned, that was never my goal. I'm asking you to please lift this as it is absolutely unreasoned and I don't know if someone false reported this to you or if you noticed it and, out of good faith I'll assume, took action, but I did not attempt gaming the system.
