I tend to try and not leave the public-facing page incomplete, but
sometimes that is inevitable (not enough sources or an incomplete
list), but put requests for help and suggestions for further editing
on the talk page. A plea to future readers and Wikipedians that pass
by. Though, sadly, I get the impression not many people actually read
the talk page notes I leave behind, and they end up being more notes
for myself to refer back to months or years later.
