Ugh, I'm tired. I meant, "If you say that we are all editors, then who are the writers?"
Do we really have regular contributors writers who do no editing/subediting at all? A few maybe. Not many.
In any case, "editor" is IMO the right word for what most people do on Wikipedia most of the time.

IIRC, there is a difference between an editor and a subeditor or copyeditor. It's one thing to make minor changes to text; it's another to approve ideas for articles and suggest major changes. Traditionally in the print world, the former is the role of the copyeditor, while the latter is the role of the editor, isn't it?
