You described a good backgound job to do before asking a question. I would also add that a an identification question must have an interest for the next person that could be in the same situation.

In a poor post like

• http://musicfans.stackexchange.com/questions/4130/the-name-of-this-song.

I can't see how another user asking himself the same question will google and end in this question.

In good posts like

• What metal song is used in this trailer for the animated movie *The Secret Life of Pets*?
• http://musicfans.stackexchange.com/questions/4354/video-clip-of-a-song-in-a-beach-big-guy-with-pink-glasses
• Instrumental waltz music used in old "Popeye" cartoon (unknown music from 30's or earlier)

There a enough details and keywords to be found with google, so another user can find it.

Try to add keywords that the next person in your situation would have in mind. Is it a song from a commercial, from a movie, the opening theme of a tv show...?
