If you mean, for example, "User:Bob created the article 'Fuchsia Jedi' ten years ago and hasn't logged in since; may I edit 'Fuchsia Jedi' since it seems User:Bob isn't coming back?", then the answer is "no". Absent very odd circumstances, editing inactive users' articles isn't allowed; one never knows when they might come back, and they'd be (understandably) irritated to have to revert some other user's changes. Of course, the Editing Policy still applies, allowing edits for spelling, grammar, and categorization.
