Whitgift Wikipedia Page[edit]

Hello

I would like to update Whitgift School's wikipedia page. There are a number of facts and figures that are incorrect and the page generally needs updating. I am new to Wikipedia but can see the page is semi-protected. Is there a way to unlock it so that the necessary changes can be made? If not, what are my other options? I have an updated draft ready.

Edit semi protected request below: Whitgift School is an independent day and boarding school for boys situated in South Croydon, London. It was founded in 1596 by John Whitgift, Archbishop of Canterbury together with a hospital (alms-house) to provide for ‘poor, needy and impotent people’ of the parishes of Croydon and Lambeth. The greatly expanded charitable foundation known as John Whitgift Foundation now runs care homes in Croydon, including the founder’s original Tudor Hospital, and three schools’: Whitgift, Trinity School of John Whitgift (a boys’ school with a co-ed sixth form) and Old Palace School of John Whitgift (a girls’ school acquired by the Foundation in 1993).

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Also, this is the wrong place to request those changes; the page is at Whitgift School and you should put the request there. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 21:54, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
