Have you made a lot of silly edits in the past on the same IP address? If you have a history of defacing pages, your edits won't stick, or they'll get flagged and auto reverted. If you have an account with a history of positive edits that are accepted, generally speaking you won't have an issue. If the latter applies to you and you're still having problems, I'd reach out to a support rep (if they exist) and plead your case.

Change your IP and try again. I have would suggest using a mobile IP, less chance of your IP being flagged.

Change your device and do it with a new IP . It might just work out

Some pages you can edit, even without a login. But some others are locked. Keep in mind users on Wikipedia take their hobby pretty seriously and if you edit a page that is fairly well known. Then it won't be long until its switched back again.
