Undoubtedly, there's room for improvement with the mobile thing.

Yet the most perfect mobile editing experience *doesn't* necessary translate into more edits. That is the mirage that seems to trick.

If Africa is Mobile + Best Mobile editing experience is *not necessarily equal to* More Edits. For you it likely might, but for Africa, I'm not sure it'll skyrocket the editing scores.

your edit statistics shows well what you say here:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/guc/?user=Nkansahrexford. a typo fixed to
test once a year or so. currently i cannot tell you "edit or shut up"
because i am not willing to do more mobile edits than you - and this
needs to change :) i am a software development person, and i know app
or browser editing can be done better, especially for citing
references. without taking up screen estate. given my zero
contribution to wikimedia software i am not allowed to criticize too
much. i only hope asaf is reading us and gets it prioritized higher at
WMF *wink wink*
