Noise removal is the slightly confusing one. What you want to do is
select a second or two of quiet/background noise in the recording; pick
the noise removal option from the menu; click the "sample" button to
build a noise profile; then pick from menu again and apply the noise
profile to the full recording.

The folks that do Wikivoices (featuring myself, Mike Peel, Skenmy, and
Jimmy Wales on Wikinews this evening 8pm) have a lot of experience
cleaning up and editing recordings. Once you've done a couple of clean
and uploads they can probably offer some really good advanced tips.
