Articles
[edit]The fact of my editing an article does not prove my support for the subject of the article. Likewise, the fact of my not editing an article does not prove my lack of support for the subject of the article.
Copy-editing
[edit]The fact of my making copy-editing changes to an article does not prove that I have copy-edited the entire article. Sometimes my copy-editing of an article is limited to one kind of error, or to a few kinds of error. Also, my copy-editing might be discontinued for one of several reasons.
Usually, copy-editing simply involves "re-alignment" according to correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, and so forth. However, there are times when it involves "disentanglement" of text that reflects a lack of compositional ability. The latter situation is different from one involving very complex subject matter or vocabulary or both. In the second and third kinds of situation, my copy-editing ability can be particularly limited. Also, in a text that is otherwise competently composed and easy to understand, there might occur an ambiguous expression requiring disambiguation by the editor who contributed it.
Discussions
[edit]My lack of participation in a discussion does not prove my lack of interest in the subject of the discussion. Such participation requires an awareness of the discussion, as well as time to prepare one or more comments before the archival of the discussion.
