User rights

Hello, I noticed that you placed an edit request at Talk:Affordable Care Act asking that you have the permission to edit the page. That is not what edit requests are for, they are for requesting specific changes to a specific page. If you wish to have the permission to edit "Semi-protected" pages, you will get the auto-confirmed user right when your account is 4 days old and has over 4 edits. You could request the "Confirmed" user right at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions which would give the same permission however it is unlikley for the request to be accepted.

@Dsmerin: I just looked at your account and it is older than 4 days, which means if you make one more edit now, you will be given the "autoconfirmed" right and be able to edit the semi protected pages. Terasail^[✉] 20:12, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, Dsmerin, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.
