Lynda, if you enter a birth date less than 100 years ago and there is no death date then when you save, privacy will automatically change to yellow because WikiTree assumes the person might be living. Also, if you make a type, for example entering a year as 1960 when you meant 1860, that can also invoke the automatic privacy locking. On the other hand, a typo of 1060 when you meant 1960 will create another problem - it can only be edited by someone who is pre-1500 certified.
