1) In order to edit wiki you need to have an account. Create an account by going to http://wiki.occupyboston.org/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup&returnto=Occupy_Boston. All you need to do is create a username and choose a password.
2) Make sure you are logged in. If you are logged in, you will see your username at the top right(ish).
