I don't edit Wikipedia because I've never taken the time to learn the system and I'm afraid I'll screw up. I assume it would feel like making a big mistake in a newspaper and having the whole neighborhood scoff, and I think that becomes a part of my Wikipedia profile forever and ever. I'd like to find a YouTube video to walk me through basic involvement.
What do you (and others in the same position) think of this video? http://www.howcast.com/videos/317521-How-To-Edit-a-Wikipedia-Article
I'm asking because it's one of the higher production quality ones I've seen - unfortunately not under licensing terms we can use, and now a bit outdated (still shows the old look&feel). But would be interested if this is a format that makes sense to you, if it's too basic, etc.
