User talk:Rebecca Ren

To Whom it May Concerns,

I was trying to edit this article "Circle of Life" but failed to do so because it was semi-protected. Giving the fact that I'm already a registered user "Rebecca Ren" in Wikipedia,I was wondering what I should do to be able to edit it.

Sincerely,

 * Hi Rebecca, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. The simple answer to your question is that semi-protected pages don't allow editing by very new editors (as well as not allowing editing by anonymous editors). See the explanation of page protection types here: Protection policy - "Semi-protection prevents editing by unregistered contributors and contributors with accounts that are not confirmed." That links to this definition of "confirmed": "most English Wiki user accounts that are more than four days old and have made at least 10 edits are considered autoconfirmed". So after you've made ten edits, you'll very likely be able to edit that article. You can check your account status by looking at Preferences - it'll say "Member of groups: Autoconfirmed users, Users" when you've reached that threshold. Until then, you are also welcome to suggest changes on the article's talk page: Talk:Circle of Life - which allows edits by any editor.


 * Also, just for reference, when you write a question on this page, it's helpful to add the tag  to this page - that'll automatically notify other editors to come here and try to answer your question. I only noticed your question here because you edited an article that is on my watchlist. :) You're also more than welcome to ask questions at  Teahouse. Thanks again for editing Wikipedia - I hope you're finding it enjoyable and want to stick around. Dreamyshade (talk) 23:55, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
