Anyone have Wikipedia editing privileges? I just happened to notice a small typo (spelling error) under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hades#Cult_and_epithets, subhead: “In Latin or Etruscan:” where the next to last bullet entry reads: “• Uragus, expressive of bis power over fire.”

That “bis” should obviously be corrected to “his”.

Next time, head to the article's talk page, add a topic, and click "include -> template", type "semi protected edit request" and fill that template and submit your edit to the talk page. It is effectively what you've just done, but on wikipedia itself.

The article is semiprotected—it’s possible OP already tried to make the edit himself and wasn’t able to.
