Copyediting is not the same as completely changing what you have said by removing large chunks I could also show the diffs from your multiple copyediting bits at WT FOOD but I think you re getting the point copyediting comments for spelling errors grammar or increased clarity is very much allowed Wholesale removal or addition of text changing the meaning of what you wrote is not Nothing gets on my nerves more than someone being disingenuous especially when it looks like barring that disingenuousness I would probably respect the person in question You know that mass addition to or removal from your comments after posting them is really frowned on especially when others have already responded and I know you know that So stop okay It s not helping anyone See What you did there when you ec d me yet again because you re not taking time to read carefully before hitting save That was copyediting You were increasing clarity You did not change the meaning of what you wrote
