You're absolutely fine to do these edits, just as long as you follow the guidelines when doing so. You may feel more comfortable hashing it out in a sandbox first, where you can go at your own pace and get feedback first, but there's nothing wrong with you making these pages to begin with.

Forgot to mention, I've modeled my own edits after other articles, but if I am formatting something incorrectly, I'd love to know how it's really done! I would hate to create more work for others in the future by continuing mistakes if I am making any. Thanks again.

if you're not sure if you're getting the formatting right, take a look at How to Write an Example and the pages it links to; they'll set you on the right track. (the ZCE page is being rewritten and the new version hasn't been copied over yet, so take a gander at Sandbox.Zce Page Rewrite for now.)

oh, one other thing: even if you're an article's primary curator, or have "taken charge" of it as you say, remember that it's a public article, and other people's edits are just as valid as yours. i don't foresee a problem with this, but just wanted to make sure you knew; better safe than sorry.

Oh yes absolutely! No harm in checking, but that's aware on my part :-)
