Pull request at GitHub results in Compare changes page - how to proceed?

I wanted to fix some typos in a Microsoft documentation repo. I clicked on its New pull request button. That resulted in the following page being displayed:

enter image description here

As you can see, the green Create pull request button is disabled. How do I proceed from here? In other repos (such as for Amazon documentation), the process works differently, and I am able to directly create a pull request.

The common scenario of making such PRs looks like the following:

  1. fork the repository http://prntscr.com/m7yhq0
  2. make a new branch there with name like fix/several-typos http://prntscr.com/m7ytis
  3. change a file and commit your changes to the branch (there should not be any difficulties)
  4. go to the original repository, click New pull request and choose compare across forks http://prntscr.com/m7yih0
  5. select necessary branches for PR and then the button Create pull request will be enabled.
  6. Review your changes displayed below and click Create pull request

Hope that will help.
