Users with enough points, say 500, should be able to freely edit.

Only Experts, Editors, Moderators, and Admins, should be able to edit and recategorize.

I think we should let it be like this for now, and then wait and see how fast users gain reputation, and only then decide the number of reputation points needed to edit.
