Argument over an article to be edited (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

altercation

'argument' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'over an article to be edited' is the wordplay.
'over' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'be edited' is an anagram indicator.
'an'+'article'='anarticle'
'anarticle' after 'to' is 'toanarticle'.
'toanarticle' with letters rearranged gives 'ALTERCATION'.

(Other definitions for altercation that I've seen before include "Noisy quarrel" , "breeze" , "Squabble" , "Rattle a coin (anag) - row" , "difference" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
