Edited article is not impractical (9)

I believe the answer is:

realistic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'not impractical' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'edited article is' is the wordplay.
'edited' indicates anagramming the letters.
'article'+'is'='articleis'
'articleis' with letters rearranged gives 'REALISTIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for realistic that I've seen before include "Facing facts, as it is clear" , "Practicable" , "Without illusions, dealing in facts" , "true-to-life" , "Practical; true to life" .)
