My Lai Massacre
Two things. First, it may not have been your intention, but you removed my comments when you added your own on Talk:My Lai Massacre. As such, I reverted your comments, so feel free to re-add them, as long as you don't remove those already there.

As for the ability to edit the article, the article actually can be edited by what are called "autoconfirmed" users. All tegistered users automatically become autoconfirmed 4 days and 10 edits after they have signed up, so you'll be able to edit it soon. In the mean time, or for anyone who does not register an account, edit requests may be made by adding in a new section at the bottom of the page, along with a statement explaining what you think should be changed, why, and any reliable sources if needed. Another editor will review that and change the article if appropriate. The reason the article is semi-protected is because it was the victim of a lot of vandalism by unregistered editors, so the only way for us to prevent disruption is to have this partial protection.
