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 alsosfor 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 Caesararticle says that "Caesar" means "elephant". --Error03:59, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

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