Maybe a dozen or so quotes or concepts are missing citations where I think they should appear. Should I try to find these and suggest notes in their proper form, and then the author can sign off on them? Probably a path of lesser effort than asking the author to create them, given that the notes in their existing form are less than satisfying.

I'm trying to leave her voice alone, of course, but sometimes the incomplete sentences cause me to read a few times to get what she's saying. On the lengthier incomplete sentences, sometimes it's fine. Otherwise, I'm trying to use other punctuation such as commas and em dashes to get the same effect but make it more readable.
