I've been wanting to make some edits in an entry lately but noticed most of the entry-editors of the entry seem to not be active anymore. Is there a way to obtain editorship without them?

Is there a way to get editorship of an entry without a direct request?

You can send requests to mods. Granted, if it's an already well-written entry and you are a newer user without a lot of site history, mods may not trust you enough to give editorship. But if it's an old abandoned entry that it would be difficult to make worse, we'll likely give it to nearly anyone who appears to not be a troll/here just to stir others up.
While it is good that you have some editorship experience, both entries you created have zero references, which is a major issue.
Well, that's because there aren't any real sources for the topics in my current two entries. The first one is just a viral video, and practically all the info in the entry comes from the videos linked to it. While in the second one is just me writing down the stuff I know, I didn't read any books for it; that's just general info that I know of due to me being a long time fan of the subject.
