Here are a few suggestions for planning out your final project. (Some of these can be small and incremental projects; so we also suggest that you try out one or two, in addition to whatever you choose for your final project.) This will give you good exposure to a variety of approaches to editing Wikipedia.
Very short sections and subsections clutter an article with headings and inhibit the flow of the prose. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheadings. Headings follow a six-level hierarchy, starting at 1 and ending at 6. The level of the heading is defined by the number of equals signs on each side of the ...

Aside from sentence case in glossaries, the heading advice also applies to the term entries in description lists. If using template-structured glossaries, terms will automatically have link anchors, but will not otherwise. Citations for description-list content go in the term or definition element, as needed.

Heading names of sections (including subsections) should be unique on a page. Using the same heading more than once on a page causes problems:
