Huh? Any idiot can make a thousand uncontroversial copyedits. What would you be wrong about in that case?
There _are_ people who, if all they could edit were articles on flowers and bunnies, would get into an edit war on flowers and bunnies. Now _you_ may be certain that you're not one of those people, but others may not know you as intimately as you know yourself.
As you say yourself, proving the fact would take nothing but patience and self-control. The fact that you took a one-year Wikibreak suggests you have some of those. So why not go do that? If you start doing it right now, you'll get quite a few uncontroversial copyedits done even before this thread here is over.
Besides, those uncontroversial copyedits also improve the encyclopedia. That's something you seem to care deeply about. We don't want to have an encyclopedia that's full of misspellings, do we?
