I wish I could get some phone guidance on making my profile more accessible to other to look up connections.

If you post a specific question showing full names, birth year, marriage year and locations (country, county, and or city), you will likely get lots of helpful information.

This is not to say that you shouldn't check familysearch.org or findagrave.com or other sites on your own.  From this census report available on familysearch.org, your birth year for Curtis James seems o by seven years.  His father was born in Iowa and he was born in Louisiana.  They were living in Louisiana in 1900 and 1910

I dont feel qualified to do much more on wiki tree I dont understand how to do so many things. For instance there was a place that said I had not entered the ancestry ID. I tried to find it but could not understand where to go. Can anybody take over management of a tree?

Since you are the profile manager of all the profiles you created, you can add additional profile managers as you best see fit. 

I'm managing too many profiles as is, but perhaps you can ask a G2G question asking for help from someone who is doing Clayton family research. 

But you don't need an ancestry.com id to get source data from familysearch.org or findagrave.com.  You can also copy and paste the census information I posted onto Curtis James Clayton's profile if you know how to do so. 

Just to make it a bit easier, I went ahead and added what initial sources I could find for Curtis Clayton's profile - see if that helps give you an idea of how to start. You'll still need to adjust his birth date, birth place, death date, and death place, but it's a start.
