Posting references (and other stuff) to talk pages

Hello to all - Please make everyone's editing jobs easier and follow Wikipedia community guidelines. I will take the following into account in giving credit for recent bibliography posts:

Did you sign your post with 4 tildes?

Did you include a link to your sandbox or Wikipedia:User talk page so I and other feedback providers can get to your references? This becomes increasingly important as we work on edits. Can a reader find where your sources are posted based on what you wrote on my talk page?

Did you name your subject something to guide people skimming down the page, or did you call it references?

Are the links you posted on your page functional? If you just cut and paste an ebsco or ebook citation, it won't work. Did you check them?

If these elements are not yet correctly incorporated, please return to my talk page and edit within your original post and/or where you put your references. Please do not add a second post. Please keep these in mind for future work.

I know this is picky stuff - learning to work in community and communicating in a form that considers your audience are important skills, which is why I'm being a hard-a** about this. Thank you. See you soon!
