Advice before editing this pre-1700 de Ridder profile?

Question

I have information to contribute to the profile of Evert (de Ridder) Ridder. This is what I can add:

• Evert is leaving for Amsterdam in 1683. The phrase is commonly used for people that go abroad by ship from Amsterdam.
• The year of departure matches the year of arrival in Albany
• The reference to his father's name Gerrit matches various sources
• He marries a girl, whose father comes from the same town as his father
• Evert is invisible on the ships during the dutch period, because he leaves very late [1683]

These are the sources I am using:

• The membership book of the church of Amerongen and documents in the archive of South East Utrecht
• Stefan Bielinski, director of the colonial Albany Project

Should I contact one of the pre-1700 projects or know about any style guidelines before proceeding? Thank you!

Great sources, Leo!

Of course best is to include links, if possible. So here goes:

Answer 2

Apparently you have found a Netherlands source to supplement the profile, which was previously based solely on information from North America. That is great.

What is needed now:

• Please document that information you found and cite your sources in the text section of the profile.

Comments

Hey, Leo! I have been eagerly awaiting your additions to the profile.

You created profiles for his parents and you connected those profiles, but there is no text in these profiles to document what you found in the Dutch records, and the source citations that you added to the profiles for the parents (example: "18 May 1645, marriagebook LOPIK") do not contain enough information for someone else to find the source. See Help:Sources for WikiTree generic advice on citing sources. For pre-1700 profiles like these, it is particularly important to provide in-line citations or footnotes to show sources for the specific facts and to use sources that we consider to be reliable. It appears that you have found Dutch church records and similarly reliable sources, but we do need to know what exactly you found.
