Editing philosophy

I am a bona fide WikiOgre. I am ruthlessly bold, staying editless for weeks sometimes and then steamrolling an article by rewriting it from scratch. However, by also mercilessly enforcing guidelines on how to write good articles, especially that original research sucks and how to reference formally well, I have now written a double digit amount of good articles with just over 1000 edits, which is quite remarkable IMHO. You don't have to be a Wikiholic with 10000 edits/ month to be a constructive Wikipedian!
