I fond the easiest way to edit is to copy & paste anything that looks like I want. then tinker.
I did start a page on William Main Doerflinger and had it rejected on the grounds that the first moderator knew nothing about Folk Music. But persistence paid off.

Main problems were:
1) they don't like anything that looks like a copyright violation. So Youtube links need careful thought.
2) Internal (ie Wiki) links go in the body of the page and external links do not.

And no, I can't remember how I initiated the page but it can't have been too torturous. And once you publish, people can edit and are, in the main (pun intended), helpful & constructive.
