Editing of semi-protected articles
I noticed that you requested the ability to edit the association football article. It is not possible for individual users to be granted permission to edit semi-protected articles. You can do one of the following: I think the first option is the best. Find a league or club that you're interested in. Make sure that player and season articles are in good order. Make small modifications, preferably with references, to them, and within a week, you'll have the magic edit dust sprinkled on your account. Recognize though that edits that get reverted (read this as "unconstructive" edits) will not help to advance your position. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:32, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) You will be able to edit this article without restriction four days after account registration if you make at least ten constructive edits to articles that are not semi-protected.
 * 2) You can provide a specific request to edit the article in "change X to Y" format on this talk page and an editor who is not blocked from editing the article will determine if the requested edit is appropriate.
 * 3) You can request the article be unprotected at this page. To do this, you need to provide a valid rationale that refutes the original reason for protection.
