Unless some things have changed in the last year or two, I was able to change something and it was changed when I looked (immediately afterwards), but when I clicked on the link, my change was gone.

You are correct. It won’t last 5 minutes before it is taken down.

EDIT:
CHALLEGE 1.2

You can not edit the article on “Eggs” to say that they are green. People say that anyone can edit Wikipedia, but the fact is that it is not easy to become a Wikipedia contributor or editor.

I challenge you to do this wait 5 minutes (1) and take a screen shot as proof that Wikipedia allowed you to edit the article on “eggs.”

Shoes have come a long way from their humble beginnings as simple leather moccasins. Today footwear is built to withstand any extreme environment where a foot can tread -- from the heart of a burning building to the track of an Olympic stadium ~Scorps
