User blog comment:Monkey.D.Me/( ´･ω･`) EDITING, For Dummies/@comment-1595565-20120517234942

People who are afraid to make mistakes shouldn't be on here. Making mistakes is really the best way to learn on a wiki. Every noob needs to realize that their edits probably will get undone, either because it's speculative, or unnecessary, or just plain wrong. If someone undoes your edit, don't be offended. Ask them why if you don't know why they undid your edit. If they don't answer, then someone else probably will. There is only one way to conquer your fear of editing, immersion therapy. Just jump in and do it. Don't overdo it though. Take things slowly and stay in your comfort zone, then try bigger stuff when you're ready. It took me a while to feel confident enough to try my hand at editing templates, now they come relatively easy to me. I would almost encourage people to make mistakes for the sake of self betterment. If I hadn't made my first edit to Lucky Roo's trivia section, I wouldn't have learned about speculation, that also applies to the edits I made after that on Zeff's and someone else's trivia section. I wasn't offended, because I acknowledged I was a noob and figured a lot of my stuff would be undone. I started with speculative trivia, and two and a half years later, here I am. If it worked for me, it can work for just about anyone. Determination, coupled with humility and backbone, will get you far on here.
