Google Pixel XL: I cant't edit most contacts, why?

[Android Central Question]

On my pixel XL, I don't have the blue pen in the lower right corner to edit most phone contacts. I've looked but I don't see any other option to edit those contacts. Why? how can this be fixed, if at all possible?

Are they imported from somewhere else?

Are they attached to your Google Account or the phone address book or something else all together
