Iinsert a line per sentence in source (XKCD cartoon).
I usuallywrite from memory.As a child, Ifell on a encyclopedia, and still remember lots of information.The downside is that I may be wrong or lack references or I may overrepresent an anecdote and forget the main picture.
I usually useSee alsos for linking to concepts that I find relevant but that I cannot or do not know how to integrate in the running text.
In spite ofWikipedia:Etiquette#How to avoid abuse of talk pages, I usually don't object to answers splitting a block of my text when addressing it point-by-point. If it may be hard to understand, you can paste my signature and date after the broken line.Something like this:
This article should mention elephants.TheJulius Caesar article says that "Caesar" means "elephant".--Error 03:59, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I prefer to place <ref> tags before punctuation.They didn't like it.

- I have access to theDiccionario Crítico Etimológico Castellano e Hispánico byJoan Corominas. It is the most authoritative work on etymology of theSpanish language.You can leave your questions on the etymology of Spanish words and I'll try to check them.
- The same about:
- Dicţionarul Etimologic al Limbii Române (funny, it is a translation from an original using Spanish asmeta-language)
- Slanguage: A dictionary of Irish slang.
