Online editor promoted assistant after rest overwhelmed by success (10)
I believe the answer is:
wikipedian
'online' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'editor promoted assistant after rest overwhelmed by success' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'editor' could be 'ed' (abbreviation) and 'ed' is found within the answer.
'rest' could be 'kip' (kipping is a kind of resting) and 'kip' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
