Current text:

This section, whether identified by a heading or indent level may come anywhere. It should follow as closely as possible after the point that needs explaining. Curb the tendency to be long winded in this section; brief explicit notes tend to be more effective. These notes should not take the place of restrictive labels when those are adequate for the job. Be prepared to document these notes with references. Remember to describe how a term is used, rather than try to dictate how it should be used from your point of view.

Support

 * 1)  --Daniel Carrero (talk) 21:32, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) . I agree with every bullet in the proposed text, except the first. Usage notes should not be permitted to float freely through entries. Dictionaries should have a regular structure. · (talk) 07:15, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
