Your edit to Athlete's heart a suggestion
Firstly please note that only Admins can semi-protect or fully-protect pages. Also, you cannot prevent other users from editing articles for you to do an assignment. Articles on wikipedia are there as part of an encyclopedia and not as part of anyones assignment. You are more than welcome to edit the article, but please do bear in mind that other users can and will also edit it if you make any mistakes. I would suggest however that rather than trying to change that article for your assignment that you create a sandbox on your user page (this - User:Jbogniak/Sandbox ) and then copy and paste the current content from the article. If you are unsure how to do this I can create it for you with the content from the article. You can then edit it to your (excuse the pun) hearts content as it would be your own personal "test page". Thank you. ♦Tangerines♦ · Talk 03:12, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Just to add to the above, I have now got a sandbox page ready (it is in preview) which can be created for you for you and you only to use. Just let me know if you want it? Thanks. ♦Tangerines♦ · Talk 03:16, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

No worries you have done exactly the right thing to contact me! I didn't want to put you off editing on wikipedia and by having your own sandbox you can then edit it as much as you want and no-one will bother you. Then if it all looks ok you can of course put it all in the actual article itself. The page is in my message above and I will create it now so it should appear very quickly. Have fun and good luck with it. ♦Tangerines♦ · Talk 03:30, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
