I insert a line per sentence in source (XKCD cartoon).
I usually write from memory. As a child, I fell 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 use See 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 of Wikipedia: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. The Julius Caesar article says that "Caesar" means "elephant". --Error 03:59, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

- I disagree. --Other user, 07:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
The Julius Caesar article says that "Caesar" means "elephant". --Error 03:59, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- It is just one of three hypothesis. --Other user, 07:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
I prefer to place <ref> tags before punctuation. They didn't like it.

- I have access to the Diccionario Crítico Etimológico Castellano e Hispánico by Joan Corominas. It is the most authoritative work on etymology of the Spanish 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 as meta-language)
- Slanguage: A dictionary of Irish slang.
