Why can't I modify the article about Israel? Franklin Blue (talk) 15:36, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The article about Israel is semi-protected. This means that only autoconfirmed users can edit it. In order for your account to be autoconfirmed, it must be four days old and it must have made more than ten edits. If you wait a few days and try editing some other articles, you will soon be able to edit that article. We put this restriction on pages such as Israel because they are controversial and prone to being vandalized. The wait and the required number of edits discourages vandals and requires new users to get a small amount of experience with the way things work on Wikipedia. – GorillaWarfare talk • contribs 15:52, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
