+# Request a Community Note
+
+People on X can request a Community Note on a post they believe would benefit from one. If there are enough requests, Community Notes contributors will see an alert, and can choose to propose a note. This gives people on X who are not contributors a way to help, and lets contributors know where notes might be found helpful.

+
+### Requesting a note
+
+- Tap the ••• menu on a post, then tap **Request Community Note**
+- To be eligible to request a note, accounts must have a **verified phone number**
+- Initially, accounts can make up to 5 requests per day. The limit may increase if requests successfully result in helpful notes, or may decrease if requests are on posts that people don’t agree need a note. This helps prevent spam and keep note writers focused on posts that could use helpful notes.
+
+### Contributors seeing requests
+
+Contributors who have earned [Top Writer status](../contributing/top-contributors.md) will see that there are requests on a post, if there are enough requests.
+
+During the pilot launch of note requests, requests will show on a post if: 
+- The post is less than 24 hours old
+- There are 5 or more requests
+
+We expect these criteria to evolve, with the goal that requests are frequently found valuable to contributors, and not noisy. The criteria are initially simple during this pilot phase.
