Finding somewhere to start helping

Greetings helper. I have decided to help out around here recently, but am having problems finding somewhere to start. I went over to Articles needing clarification but found it rather intimidating and wasn't sure why some articles in categories didn't still have the tags. I am a native English speaker at a high level of proficiency so I am happy to do work in editing unclear articles.
If you could offer me a little help by giving me a task to do I would be happy to comply and would probably learn the ropes from there. I also have a good aptitude to computer based syntaxes and technical tasks so I would be alright to do stuff falling under that.
Hope this doesn't sound too pathetic...
Many thanks,

- Here's a suggestion, why don't you join a WikiProject? These are collaborations between different editors that share the same interest and they usually have things that need to be done.
- For example, you see to be interested in copyediting. The perfect WikiProject for you would be the Wikipedia:Guild of copyeditors. They usually have a backlog of articles needing copyediting. And welcome to Wikipedia. :) -- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 07:28, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
