I'm rather stumbling Stuart seems not to be considered by anyone as
"coming from community". Anyone, including me (I simply don't know and
perhaps it would be a large part of reasons:  our contribution areas
are not crossing over). But he edited at least since last October from
the current account. A guy who has been editing regularly, even in a
small number, cannot be yet recognized as a community member (while he
himself hasn't insisted to be as such, though) - and what is then the
community? In case ust editing is not qualified for belonging to it,
what we mean with the word "editing community"?

Not a criticism, I'm really stumbled.
