You're quite right.  I don't know how I missed that.  I'll hide my last two unhelpful comments.

Answer 1

What information and sources do you intend to add? What was the message you received when you tried to edit it?

Answer 2

You have edited the profile today so you do have permission to work on pre-1700 profiles and I see that you received the Pre-1700 badge in 2019. I wonder if you were trying to add his parents, in which case you would need to be Pre-1500 certified.

Answer 3

I wonder if the problem could be the appearance of the orange banner saying:

Pre-1700 Requirement: If you're not already coordinating with a project and familiar with applicable style rules click here: Ask for Advice

If so: this appears any time you go to the edit screen of a pre-1700 profile - the computer doesn't "understand" that you already have the permission (=tte pre-1700 badge).
