If I fix a typo, I've edited an article. I used to search for common misspellings and fix them. It was useful, but very different from having actually written anything.

Same for adding an article to a category or adding links between en:Albert Einstein and de:Albert Einstein.

EDIT: For your consideration, here's his contributions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Ser_Aman...

Again, useful, but obviously very different from writing (or even modifying) the contents of an article.
