 Not done - Hi, and thank you for creating an account to edit Wikipedia. Although I fully understand your desire to dive right in, many of our articles are semi-protected because they are controversial, prone to vandalism, or other reasons. As a new editor with few edits, it might be wise to discuss your edits on the article talkpage in order to gain consensus for your edits, and then use {{Edit semi-protected}} to request the edit be performed. I only recommend this until you're used to the challenges of reliable sources, the biographies of living persons policy, and other similar policies. The good news is that fewer than 5% of Wikipedia articles are protected; this means that 95% of the articles can use your help right now! ~ Rob13Talk 17:09, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'll be performing mass edits and page creations on articles related to WikiProject Geography and WikiProject United States, and I don't want to have to solve a CAPTCHA every time I add external links considering that I'll be doing it quite frequently.

What volume of edits (total, per time period) are you planning on performing? — xaosflux Talk 21:06, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
