If you do not see a "protect" or "delete" tab on regular pages, like
the
Main Page, then you are not a Sysop.
Go to the Special pages and select the "User list" and see if your
username has "(Bureaucrat, Sysop)" next to it. If not then you are
definitely not a Sysop. Log in as someone who has that by their
username and they should see "protect" and "delete" tabs on the Main
Page showing that they are indeed a Sysop. They can use the User rights
management link on the Special pages to give you Bureaucrat and Sysop
priviledge.
A for editing Special pages, they cannot be edited. They are system
generated so you will not see an edit tab on those pages.

With normal pages I can see
Page
Discussion
Edit
History
Move
Watch
If I edit those pages, no problem, but with the special pages, I don't
see those buttons I just see Message Discussion View source Watch

Does one tab say "protect" or "unprotect"?
What happens when you try to edit. You hit the edit button and what
happens?
