Wikipedia Editing

So... I was attempting to change our Genesis wikipedia entry. Changing text is no problem, however what I really wanted to change was our outdated logo. But I simply cannot, despite googling and searching for info, figure out how to do it. Is there anyone here with experience editing wikipedia content that can explain how to do it? Or perhaps even do it for me if I send the file?

I believe that this could be applied here.

Is that what you're looking for?

While at it, fix the name of my brother?

Listed as "Thornstein 'Plugh' Lockert", should be "Thorstein" as firstname. And what about Mecien on that list?

I have no idea about any of those names really and have no idea who should be credited for what. I wasn't around that early. In my opinion theres ALOT of people who could be credited as "developers". So uh yeah, I'll let someone else decide who should be credited there...

You probably have been around longer than me and know more about the early days anyway so perhaps you should just update stuff you feel is wrong? Thats the idea of Wikipedia anyway? And you can fix the spelling error in the process! Although THORN-stein is cooler is it not?:)

Hm yeah that seems to be what I want to do. Unfortunately there doesnt seem to be a way to replace/update the current logo. It says it "cant be overwritten". I dont know... and I was not allowed to upload a new image since only those who have made at least 10 text edits are allowed to upload images... Hm.

Well this was harder than expected...
