Request for 'confirmed' user role

Hi, and a warm welcome to the Drupal community!

I am an SEO content specialist within the marketing department of Versantus and would love to help create on-boarding case-studies and and information to support new Drupal Contributors.

We only want the documentation about Drupal to be curated by experienced community members with a proven track record of being knowledgeable about Drupal. Since you are a new member with no content for us to review, you will not immediately be given permission to create documentation for the Documentation area on Drupal.org.

If you want to start contributing right now, I shall suggest you first do so in our support Forums → . You do not need the 'confirmed' user role to provide information to support new Drupal Contributors in the Drupal forums, and this will allow the site moderators to evaluate whether you're ready to also create documentation for the Documentation → area on Drupal.org.

I would also link to make connections with other Marketing Drupal Contributors and hopefully, this will enable us to attend more Drupal-related events and contribute more across all departments such as design and development.

As for being able to link to make connections with other Marketing Drupal Contributors, we do not facilitate this. Many people here do not want to receive messages about marketing, and I kindly request that you respect this. This is a support site for free software, and using it for marketing or SEO is not permitted. Doing so may even result in you being blocked from posting here.

Please also note that there is no need for the 'confirmed' role for you to attend Drupal-related events. Nor is the role required for you to contribute across departments such as design and development. Just go ahead and do it!

However, the 'confirmed' role is only given to users that contribute helpful content to this website. Examples are: Do a contributor task, help, out in issue queues by fixing issues, or provide support via text forums (see links below).

In this case, you've not contributed any content except this post, so we've nothing to review.

I am postponing for now, after you have posted some content on Drupal.org you may want to add a comment to this issue to request a new review. Please visit the Become a confirmed user → page for information.

Here is a list of resources that will assist you if you intend to making helpful contributions:

• Issue Etiquette → .
• Using the issue tag field → .
• Contributor Tasks: Find a task → .
• Contributor Tasks: Provide support via text forums → .

@lauren-walker - I believe that Promote Drupal → is the place where you might want to help in this case. I suggest that you reach out to them, in the community slack channels and/or issue queues, and coordinate with them where you could be helpful.

As @gisle mentions, you do not need the "confirmed" role to do any of the above, and any "veteran" members from the initiative that you interact with could confirm your user.

@gisle - just to add a bit of context here, the Drupal Association gave Versantus (the company where Lauren works currently) an introduction to contributing to Drupal where we pointed out that different roles could help in different places within the Drupal project and community. We pointed them out here: https://www.drupal.org/community/contributor-guide → among other resources, and they were keen to start contributing in different areas.

As described on the page Become a confirmed user → :

If there's still no new content, the issue will be closed and the role denied.

There still are no (0) posts except this one associated with this account, so there is nothing to review. I am closing this request for now. After you have posted some content on Drupal.org you may want to add a comment to this issue to request a new review.
