On the other hand, if your question is regarding the handwriting, there's a thread on the Questions and Answers Board on handwriting help. I agree that it can sometimes be difficult! I usually try to compare questionable letters or words to other examples on the page, such as searching for another place where a word starts with a letter that looks like the one you're questioning.
The most important thing is to capture people's names, which can also be the most difficult. Keep in mind, though, that four other people will have tagged each page before it is considered done. This allows for a few errors here and there without any awful consequences.
The boards here on the Talk page are really helpful, too.

Deciphering the handwriting also becomes a lot easier with practice. And, as @cyngast says, there are always people here to help out as you go along.
