my policy: I log all the nukes that are not done at the user's request. All nukes have an explanation. Notice that if you (non-editor user) find nuke-worthy stuff, you can always /msg me - I will think about it.
This log also contains subjects that need to be written up, so if you are need a worthy theme for your inspiration this is a good place to look.
If I do node editing, that's to say I go in and modify another user's writeup, I always msg the user, unless it is a really trivial spelling fix.

Every now and then, I stumble across these epic sagas of sex, drugs and good writing. Start with bejewel and go on from there. Enjoy the parallel slalom by riverrun and dannye.
By now, my editing method should be obvious: I wander, more
or less at random, and when I find a particularly "promising" user, I do a user
search on him and go through all his writeups. If it is a very productive user,
I may sort them by reputation, but reputation is not a great indicator.
There are very crappy WUs with high reps.
I deleted a total of 18 WUs (4 without XP loss).
