Probably because it's set to Regular+ wait until you've been registered for at least 7 days and you should be able to edit it (you should be a regular by then).

Oh I think I know what I did- I clicked the discussion link instead of the edit link, which prompted it to make a thread.

Oops

I had a look at it and I think it does need work. For example this statement:

"While footed pajamas are widely thought of as something worn only by the very young, blanket sleepers are also sometimes worn (in decreasing order of frequency) by school-age children, teens, and even adults. " Makes it sound like adult sized footed pajamas are unusual or rare. Quite the contrary in fact. I tried to post an article about it, but was not allowed because I do not have enough posts. Anyone interested?

Post what you think should be added, and someone else can add it for you

It also depends on where one lives. While it's not such a strange thing in the US, it's decidedly less common in Europe, to the dismay of sleeper enthusiasts out that way.

Saying it's uncommon here would be a huge overstatement.

Footed pajamas in adult sizes are absolutely not uncommon at all. Alot of manufacturers make them these days, including Nick and Nora, Big Feet, Hello Kitty, Jumpen Jammerz, Footzies, Guide Gear, etc., etc. Some of these manufacturers are very famous.

Footed Pajamas for adults is becoming such a huge industry, to say that they are rare or uncommon seems a bit odd and makes this wiki article seem uninformed. I would not exactly say that footed pajamas are worn by a huge percentage of the population yet. But they are not uncommon like they were just a few years back and as more and more manufacturers jump on the bandwagon, they are becoming much more widely accepted. Awareness is developing rapidly and I would not be surprised to see footed pajamas be much more in the mainstream in a few years time. I am not aware of how common footed pajamas are outside of the USA, but most of these brands are available world-wide via internet.

You can read an article about footed pajamas for adult below. But since I can not post a link, you'll need to copy and paste it to your browser. Or perhaps someone else can post it for me?

A lot of the footed PJs for adults are typically AB companies or AB aware. There are a few who are doing it just for adults who like warm PJs however.

What is different in Europe however is the acceptance of footed PJs for older kids, or rather the lack of it.

In the US sizes go up to 16 (in US sizes). I can say for certain that in the UK it is the norm for footed PJs to be available only up to the age of 4 or 5 at the most. It's generally a baby thing.

However, the abundance of older kid sizes (in the US) and the various non-AB companies that make them for adults, makes me question number 15 in the diaper commandments
