Is there a ‘proper’ edit and/or proofreading code for inserting my own comments?

[HipGnosis]

I do a lot of copy –n- paste ‘gleaning’ from the internet – my browsing is way more fact based than ‘social BSing’.
Is there a ‘proper’ edit and/or proofreading code for inserting my own comments in or adjacent to what is essentially a quote?
For example; I find information I’m interested, but the article doesn’t have a date (which I abhor). That makes the ‘facts’ in the article suspect as many facts change over time (ie., the best site for an intelligent answer). I want to save the info so I can compare it appropriately to dated info.
Programing has multiple ways of commenting or remarking, but I’m not programming this…

In word you can turn on track changes and insert comments. They appear as a sidebar with arrows pointing to the referenced text.

Does that answer your question?

For standard print sources, author interpolations are indicated by using brackets.

For example,

I do a lot of copy –n- paste ‘gleaning’ from the internet

would become:

[SDMB poster HipGnosis said on May 9, 2013 that] I do a lot of copy –n- paste ‘gleaning’ from the internet

Or just:

[HipGnosis does] a lot of copy –n- paste ‘gleaning’ from the internet

Or:

I do a lot of copy –n- paste ‘gleaning’ [of fact-based material] from the internet

It’s very common in books.

Just remember that they’re not used for actual commentary. If you want to do that, just comment outside any quotation marks.
