I would say only contact the author of the entry you are subbing, and sub one at a time, rather than contacting both at the start. Also, my spelling check comes absolute last, so that any changes I make are checked too.

Maybe something about checking the PR threads to make sure everything brought up there has been addressed?

Yeah, I normally contact one at a time too; with this batch I contacted both to see if it made any difference, but it only makes the author aware how long they have to wait before I get round to editing their work!

Spelling and PR threads are a good point; I'll change it in a minute.
