This is interesting!!
The whole wikipedia is about giving away, sharing what you know and
the content is all under CC.
But here is a strong thought to protect and hold on to the copyrights
of wikipedia !!

I have not checked the license of the wikipedia logos. If they are
modifiable and redistribution of modified images are allowed, will
such images still remain as wikipedia property? Can I use such
images/content on my website (any website for that matter) ?

Generic speaking, what happens to logos and names and other such
intellectual properties in such cases?
