Off topic -- Where is the 'Edit' button on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiropractic#Evidential_basis ?

The article doesn't say it's locked, but I see no edit button.

I was trying to replace "Opinions differ as to the efficacy of chiropractic treatment" with "Opinions differ as to the ability of chiropractic treatment to produce an effect", because I have a grudge against overly complicated language.




What's already there is better. :(

Also, if you look to the top right corner of the page, there's a lock icon that shows the article is semi-protected. You can't edit it without logging in.


Why is replacing one word with 4 making it less complicated?


Because more people will understand the longer version than the shorter one. A wiki is not a computer program.
