Fixing minor grammar mistakes in the examples in the draft is okay, but it's advicable to inform of the edits you made. Outright adding new examples without the draft owner's permission is not okay.
The TLP Guidelines specifically address this in the "Minding Your Manners" section:
- Don't Edit Other People's Drafts Without Asking:
- This is just being polite. Many TLP denizens are protective of their work and do not like it when other people mess with their drafts.
- Making major changes to a draft that doesn't belong to you is considered incredibly rude at the very best. If you try to be sneaky about it, it may even be considered vandalism.
- It's generally okay to correct small errors, like typos or formatting errors, on another person's draft. Just post a reply clearly stating what you were doing — that's just common courtesy.

Thanks!

I assumed people posted examples in the comments so the creator of the draft could add them, but they're open for anyone to edit. If someone edited their own example into someone else's draft, would that be okay?
