What is the difference between editing Wikipedia and managing Wikipedia?

Editing and managing are different disciplines, and most of the value in long-running engagements lives in the managing layer. Editing is the specific act of making or proposing a change to the article. Managing is the surrounding practice: continuous monitoring through WikiAlerts™ for any edit by any account, structured maintenance of the source library so any future edit request can be supported quickly, Talk-page presence so community editors recognize the disclosed COI account and trust its conduct, dispute resolution when edit wars or NPOV challenges emerge (disputes under Wikipedia’s neutral-point-of-view rule), and ongoing alignment with company news so the article reflects current reality. A well-managed article gets a handful of edits a year. A poorly managed one gets a crisis quarterly.
