there are many reasons why locked fields may need editing. EG place names are not in accordance with the names as they should be at the time (see https://www.geni.com/projects/South-Africa-Towns-and-Cities-MAIN-PAGE/10223),
We all make mistakes .
Geni as a collaborative site needs all of us to give input and correct mistakes or improve information on a profle with new sources discovered.
Locked profiles or fields do serve a purpose but I really do not believe they then become immutable .
Also best to only add information supported by actual valid sources.
Guesswork and speculation can be added in about /overview rather.
In August 2022 I corrected 14 profiles connected to wrong parents or also spouses or children since before 2012 on Geni .
The amount of wrong information I have corrected on Geni the last two years just too many.
If no sources then better to remove information especially on pre 1800 profiles of ancestors belonging to many of us
