Hear hear. Substitute "editing articles" with anything from shining Emily's
shoes to redesigning the back-end database, and how can this possibly be
wrong?

Someone A already knows how to do <insert task>. Someone B wants to help.
Someone A gets some help, and Someone B gets some knowledge, and Someone C
who doesn't have a clue about <insert task> follows their efforts and hopes
someday to be Someone B.

Can you say 'mentoring' ?
