Aren't the articles selected to appear as

on the Main Page supposed to be protected?
No. They are purposely not protected (unless it's really, really
necessary), mainly since as the article most likely to be seen by new
people, it should be editable.
There's a more detailed discussion of the rationale and the
counter-rationale here:

OK. I must have been confused by something (featured picture, perhaps?)
I would assume the FP is upload-protected!
The actual content *on* the front page is protected - so the summary
paragraph for the FA, the news section, etc, are all protected, but
not the articles they link to.
