Not much, as every time I've tried to make an edit, it's been instantly reverted by some apparently extremely uptight person.

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...
I started the page on AFOLs back in ye olden time.
And I regularly nag the mediawiki people to finally do something about their documentation.
Fixing typos.
