Semi-protected edit requests
please can you allow me to edit a semiprotected article? (Smeethapahlavi (talk) 12:57, 29 June 2009 (UTC))


 * Welcome and thanks for wanting to improve Wikipedia. You already can edit a semi-protected article...using this template to request a proxy. When you find a semi-protected article that you would like to improve, simply start a new section on the talk page (give your new section a meaningful title to help your fellow editors read the talk page) and add the template and your detailed request. Any auto-confirmed user, such as myself, can then do the actual insertion for you, after confirming that the change isn't an obvious problem. The same principle applies to fully protected pages, except you need to use the  template and an admin needs to service the request. I know it is inconvenient, but sometimes it is the only way the admins can stop certain classes of problems. Again, welcome and I'm looking forward to seeing your request on whatever semi-protected page you want to improve. Celestra (talk) 15:42, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
