The missing credit

A published draft lacks the sources and credits it needs.

A published draft lacks the sources and credits it needs.

A stopping point makes an attempt assessable. Define what must be present, what can wait, and how the recipient will know the work is ready. A finish is a boundary for this version; it need not be the end of all possible improvement.

Add the necessary attribution before treating it as ready.

A short note can preserve what happened: the setting, the change, and one observation. Avoid claiming more than the attempt showed.
