Perhaps other people work at things differently, but I rarely directly refer to sources when starting an article unless I know little about it. The only exception is when I have sources and am not sure what articles could use them, in which case I hunt through the book/whatever for things I could write about. Otherwise, when I want to write about something in general (especially when it's on impulse, normally after "what? this is a redlink?"), it's often inefficient and frustrating to hunt down a source.
Why is it any more "convenient" to do this in the main article space than in your own user space?
Call me an eventualist,
I don't call this eventualism.
I call this rehearsing in front of the audience.
I call this running out into the street naked and telling the policeman "But I was just about to put my clothes on."
I call this a non-sequitur.
