Okay, let me share something for the topic. First, about putting "all source" in the description under the entry, I do that
. For me, it's just a basic info, a short one. Anybody actually is allowed to put anything to describe their entries, the longer the more "possible votes" you can get compared to just "all source" note, I guess. An "all source" note is not meant to get more votes and more likely, It's not there to
irritate anyone
. Again, It's just a short description that may say all, period. It's up to the voters.
Sometimes I put simple basic tutorials. Does it mean I am whoring for votes or just want to share and help?

I also do images with externals, sometimes I put links to show what I use, sometimes I don't. For me, it's much more difficult to do an entry with externals. I am talking about the good ones. You have to look for good externals then you have to integrate them to come up with a story, it's an skill that not all can do very well, I do poorly on this style that's why i usually do all source, a minus point in fact.
Lastly, about the "go big", I am guilty with this also,
. I am now about 4 years here in the site. I still remember when I was accused of posting small size images, citing that I was trying to hide details. From then on, I see to it that I post my entries in the larger size possible and put the "go big" sign, not everytime though. I am using a laptop doing my chops and I have a poor eyesight, so one reason for putting the "go big" sign is for others to see what i did not notice. I'm sure some members here know me as the one who always do updates
. Okay, I guess this is my longest post ever in the forum. Peace.
