 == edit protect == 

 i see that you have placed a number of "" edit semi protect""  templates on articles   

 because you did not include any actual requests to edit, i am making an assumption that you were thinking that placing the template would protect the article. it will not. it is just a flag that will alert people who care that someone wants to suggest an edit to an article that they cannot make directly.  

 if you wish to have an article protected, you can make your request here WP:RPP (request for page protection) and an admin will review the article history and determine whether or not protection is appropriate and then apply it if appropriate.   "
