Hi John, is the profile http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dobbin-95 This is a private profile e.g. shown with a red lock on top right side of the profile page. There was a reply to your original question in 2015: http://www.wikitree.com/g2g/201112/how-to-change-a-date-on-a-profile-
As it's private and year of birth is in the 1930s it will remain private, did you add a death date of 1035? If you did you will need some additional help - pre-certified 1500 and possibly admin as it is 'private'.
Yes, when a private profile includes a date that places it off-limits to editing by the profile manager, you need a sysop to fix it.
Retag this question for WikiTree Tech instead of Policy and Style and change the title of the question to indicate that this is a pre-1500 date on a private profile.
