Hello, Bean.scorn, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia.

Help edit

I need help. I am good with many things, but having confidence to edit pages using templates is not my forte. I want to contribute and have a lot to write, but I don't know how to get started and have had a few negative experiences already that have made me a touch more nervous. Please help.

I have been given a tour before but I was sort of left with an unclear understanding of what needs to be discussed where and how and with who. I would like to have a chance to talk to someone about those previous experiences so I can make some better sense of it all and know that the content I edit is put where it should be and also to make sure that I am not hurting the contributions of others in a feeble attempt to help and also to make sure that I don't put out a the wrong impression of my intent, as I would love to become an active and prolific contributor.

Hi Bean.scorn, welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a standard Welcome message at the top of this page, which has a number of useful links to help you get started. I'd also recommend you spend some time at the Teahouse, which is a (generally) friendly venue for new editors to get help starting out with Wikipedia. You might also like to consider the Co-op, which pairs new users with experienced mentors to help them learn the ropes. And as the welcome template above says, do feel free to drop by my talkpage if you need a hand with anything. Best of luck, Yunshui  13:11, 4 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
