Editing semi-protected pages

Hi, I saw your question at Talk:Cheryl Cole and thought I'd offer some advice. Basically, you need to be an autoconfirmed user to edit semi-protected pages. The requirements for this are usually accounts that are more than four days old and which have made at least ten edits. I see your edit to Talk:Cheryl Cole was your first, so you've nine more to go, then once you've been registered for four days, you'll be free to make any changes you want to. In the meantime take a look at some of the links above, and start editing. There are plenty of unprotected pages which need typos fixing or information updating, etc. Give me a shout if you need any help, and happy editing. TheRetroGuy (talk) 19:54, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
