Why cant I add my family members?

Question

ok, Im not the sharpest tool in the shed, but Im not the dullest either. lol  So, how long before I can be added as a member of wikitree and no longer a guest?  I am assuming that is why I am not able to add my parents or anyone else into my family tree on my page. I have submitted my dna from ancestry as well as my gedmatch number. I am looking forward to using the relative finder on here. Im beginning to think Im an alien, because NO ONE matches me. lol

Hi Mary, I see that you have already volunteered. I am assuming this was done back in 2014 or 15 because I do not see where a Greeter requested you to add tags before being confirmed and I don' t see you on the volunteer feed in the last few days. We normally ask for people to add tags to make sure that people are here to really do genealogy. I am going to go ahead and get you confirmed, but it will still be beneficial for you to add tags. They are clickable and will lead you to others following the same tags. In my welcome message to you, you will see a help link for navigating through our WikiTree system and  Dorothy gave you the link below on how to add tags. Thank you for wanting to be a part of wikitree.

Hi Mary,  In order to add family members you will need to finish the process of filling out your tags and clicking on Volunteer button as explained in the initial email. Once you do that you will be confirmed by one of our friendly greeters!! 

Here's how to do the Tags:  

You may want to add some tags on your page indicating a family name for one tag and a specific location like a country, state etc you are interested in, for another tag and then add other surnames or locations as tags as desired. That way you will be connected to others with the same interest. 

Click on http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following to add or remove tags. Be sure to add comments explaining why you're following the tags. Those appear on your profile too. Again don't forget to click on Volunteer before your finished. Good Luck.
