There's a difference between mastering computer programming (something that can be inherently demonstrated) and something that lies in the realm of professionalism, such as copy editing/writing. Sure, you may think you're a great copy editor, but just because you've made a few grammatical corrections here and there doesn't necessarily mean you're qualified to start copy editing for your local news publication, which in all likelihood utilizes a professional style guide (AP, Chicago, etc) probably not considered on a wiki.

If one is credentialed to work in a field like this, I see no problem listing it. However, if you've received no formal training/education on the English language (and I mean more than English 101), than I would consider it stretching the truth, just like describing oneself as a "documentary director" for pressing the camera button on a phone during a Joe Jonas concert is also stretching it without previous experience working/studying cinema.
