What an edit request IS NOT for: making test edits: use the sandbox asking for help: go to the Help Desk making a comment or starting a discussion: go to the talk page requesting unprotection: go to RFPP
What an edit request IS for: requesting straight-forward changes like grammar, spelling, formatting requesting more substantive changes, if they are justified with reference to reliable sources, and not the subject of ongoing discussion
