I have always been a fan of red links (links to articles that don't exist yet but probably should/could) and article notices and the like as reminders that someone can indeed edit. I think showing off our "not yet complete" content is a good thing and that it's sad if we only show off what we think of as unmarked articles (in the end many of them 'could' probably have notices/use more help they just haven't had someone add them yet or people are lying to themselves). That's fine however :) That's why we have lists like this for discussion and you/comms to make a decision rather then flipping back and forth depending on the whim of who happens to tweet that day. I'm glad that you're thinking of how to call for edits through SM too, I do hope that we can find better ways to combine the two however. I think SM messages simply asking for edits are relatively boring even for someone who DOES edit a lot and I glaze over them, but it's incredibly common that I click a link because of some cool fact/note and then make a little edit or a change :).
