Hi, whenever you research a topic and then do a deep dive of it on here, is it necessary to make citations of where the information in your deep dive on here came from?
Oh, why is that?Well, it makes the thread better if you do.
Eh, i like to, that way whoever reads it can continue their own research if they would like. Sometimes there's so much information about the topic that it wouldn't all fit on a thread.Hi, whenever you research a topic and then do a deep dive of it on here, is it necessary to make citations of where the information in your deep dive on here came from?
Alright, thank you for the clarification!

Or sometimes it's useful knowing where the info comes from, like if the original source has a bias or agenda.
But i wouldn't say it's required - it's not a term paper
