Thanks for the detailed feedback. I'll be updating the post with adjustments people have recommended very soon. However, I am curious about this:

Third, [citation needed]. If you are compiling a list of advice like this, I think the onus is on you to make some effort to check that the advice you're giving is useful, or at least to put a disclaimer saying that you haven't. This could be useful resource, if it could be trusted.

Aside from the recommendations from the community (which say merely '<UserName> says X') I did include links to all of my sources. Am I missing something here?

No, I guess maybe my criticism was too hasty, sorry. The bits which say "username says X" currently seem to me to be about as prominent in the post as those which are better researched, which is not ideal. When updating, it would probably be a good idea either to check facts on those bits of advice (probably too much effort to be worth it) or to clearly separate them from the other advice.

This is a very good point - I've updated the post to account for it.
