Thank you for the editing and corrections.

Does the meaning of editing also stand for ''to make corrections? If this is true, then the given sentence is redundant.

Thank you for the editing and corrections.

Hi Jackson, In my opinion "to edit" includes "to correct" as a particular case. "To edit" means simply to change, while "to correct" means to edit with a purpose of improving the text in some way (probably, to improve spelling). For example, some vandals can edit your biography on Wikipedia (if you have one), but they not necessarily correct it
