Thanks for the information. I belived that to edit the data you need to be member. But it turns out that it is not needed. But how can you know which are protected/semi-protected topics? By trying to edit it????

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:George-W-Bush.jpeg

Look at the bottom of the image for the warning.
