This is Lisa.

Lisa is new at Wikipedia and wants to edit in article, but for some reason she can.

She realizes that the article is semi protected.

Why is that?

Wikipedia is edited every day by thousands of volunteers from around the world.

Truly, everyone can contribute their knowledge.

It's a great system.

And it's what made Wikipedia the largest encyclopedia and one of the most popular websites on the Internet in on Lee a few years.

But the World Wide Web is also home to many online trolls, those air people who enjoy annoying and provoking others.

And they often cause damage to make Wikipedia's knowledge less vulnerable to such trolls so that they can't damage it or delete it altogether.

With just a few clicks on Lee, auto confirmed users can edit semi protected articles.

To get this status, Lisa has to make it least 10 edits to unprotected articles.

Also, her account has to be more than four days old.

Aside from that more experienced Wikipedia ins, make sure that community selected administrators find out about users who repeatedly break Wikipedia's rules and temporarily blocked them.

Of course, they also check that the changes meet Wikipedia standards, for instance, they make sure that Lisa used a neutral tone and cited good sources.

Even if Lisa makes a few mistakes at the beginning, it's no big deal great when changes air undone.

It's almost always for good reasons.

Wikipedia is not about pushing individual opinions, but rather reaching a consensus together.

Still, Lisa wants to defend her edit, so she uses the talk page to make a case that is objective, polite and supported by good sources.

Finally, four days later, Lisa has made her 1st 10 successful edits, so her user account is now auto confirmed.

From now on, she can also edit, sent me protected articles, move pages or upload files.
