It takes awhile to get used to Wikipedia and the genera flow of things, trying to edit very big/popular articles is not a great place to start because of this unfortunately.

I've never had too much issues with this. So long as its written well, relevant, and you've used reliable sourcing, it takes a lot more effort for someone to dispute it .

I did stuff like add punctuation or fix grammar, and it was instantly reverted with rude comments. I looked and the person who did it is some insanely lame person who seemed to live on wikipedia, so... okay...
