 David,
Your in the right place, but I have a question for you if that is OK? Did you register?https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide/Registration
  It Says:

This website is free for all to edit, and contributing is easy. You need an account for the website (see /Registration for details), and it is recommended that you read through this guide before contributing.When should you contribute? Whenever you see something that could be improved or updated! Also, WikiToDo contains details of things that need doingI hope this helps.

 I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question, but it 
seemed like the most appropriate email address I could find.

I saw a page with some missing information 
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving), and 
thought I'd improve it by adding the missing details. I thought that was 
in the spirit of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide, which says 
to contribute whenever you see something that could be improved.

So, I spent some time editing a local copy of the page. But when I came 
to upload it, I was told I was not allowed to edit the page.

I looked through the WikiGuide and related pages, but nowhere could I 
find anything about how to obtain permission to edit a page (or even 
anything about the need to obtain permission).

I'm a bit perplexed. Users are encouraged to contribute improvements - 
but then prevented from doing so.

Can someone explain how this is supposed to work?
