See Please stop noding websites and why you shouldn't use a URL as a node title for why I'm keen to do this. Thanks.
Nodeshells:
On with the show. I am tallroo (hi tallroo) and I am an E2 Editor. I won't list kills requested by the user (e.g. nuke requests). All were killed mercifully unless explicitly stated.
Lots of /msgs today, a few nuke requests and several additions to the URL project. Cheers for the /msgs everyone. Hunting some more...
Anyway.
Also, 20 or so URL nodes. I'm moving them from the list above down into the Nodeshell list. Everyone is getting a message, which looks like:
Re <URL>, URL node titles are not good, so I've removed it. See Please stop noding websites and why you shouldn't use a URL as a node title. You can always get the content back out of Node Heaven repost it as <ALTERNATIVE_NAME>
Note: "Killed" means with an XP loss of 5, "Deleted" means no XP loss.

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.

These nodes need work: chastity belt 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).

Socialists(both wrong and offensive) sitcoms(no info) Graham Chapman(one liner, no info) GCHQ(one liner, superseded) the geek house(no see also WUs) then(E1 remain) assrape(vide supra) lameness(the state of this writeup) deadly force("get thee to a search engine". Grump.) mountain biker(flamage, not amusing) Dead Parrot(obvious reference to the Dead Parrot Sketch) ignoranto elenchi(it is either ignorantia elenchi or ignoratio elenchi, not something in the middle) political(superseded by Webster)

The radioactive wasteland of Editor Log: April 2001 - the blasted deserts of Editor Log: June 2001
Fled user rax has a number of excellent writeups on card games including Cribbage and Gin Rummy. The trouble is, they're not his. They are copy and paste writeups from online gaming sites arount the Internet.
My dilemma: It's useful content, but it's total copy and paste. Leave it, or nuke it? Update: A new Cribbage was contributed, so I killed rax's writeup.
Sunday May 6: it was pretty quiet so I mopped up a lot of nodeshells, in addition to the usual title edits, etc. I also marked the new writeups pee bee by Communista and Why do some noders have more XP and less write-up than they thought? by Pogo for the nightly purge. The former was home node stuff, the latter based on a misapprehension about how XP works. See Voting/Experience System for the straight goods.
Saturday May 12: What's up with joke node? Is the joke that it's not funny? I don't get it. /msg Peej FYI, I mercy killed "maps" (-4). By convention we node only the singular (which you also did anyway). /msg tremere Please explicate your lyrics if you're going to node then, or at least hard link creatively.
Marked some of justfred's writeups for destruction, after that noder apparently decided on pulling an Asamoth.
Sunday May 13:
/msg bludstone Hi. Re:Squarepusher The top 2 writeups are by fled users. Can you make one w/u that includes that info? Then I can kill the redundant writeups. Please let me know. /msg bob_the_cow Hi. I'd like to take geek vs hacker out behind the barn and shoot it. You're the only 'live' noder with a writeup. What do you say?
Week of May 14: After a serious attempt to rehabilitate provolone was forced to lock the account. I note that many other variants including provoloneotron, provolone? and provolone! have briefly visited our shores. Starts out nice every time, then wigs into full troll mode. Sigh.
Week of May 21st: Every day I log in and kill one of my own writeups. There are lots of substandard ones to pick from. I will keep doing this until the muses return to me, or I run out of writeups. Started with: 1186 writeups
When I delete something by a user who's still here, I /msg the user. Otherwise, I don't. When I delete a huge GTKY node with a dozen or more writups, I'll mention that here.
5/14/01
I deleted the GTKY node Geek vs Nerd with all hands. All but one of the writeups was nonsense: "I feel that a geek is such'n'such and I feel that a nerd is such'n'such and that's what the word means for me".
None of this was the slightest bit entertaining, interesting, or informative, with the exception of the following writeup:
tftv256 You guys see the irony here? You'd have to be an unbelievable nerd/geek/dweeb/whatever to actually be having this debate. Nobody cares. Thank you.
