G2G: Advice before adding of this pre-1700 Beaumont profile?

Question

I can add a to the profile of Anthony Beaumont. This is who I can add:

• Mary Villiers, Countess of Buckingham née Beaumont

These are the sources I am using:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Villiers,_Countess_of_Buckingham

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

Answer 1

The quality of Wikipedia articles is very uneven, they are only as good as the sources that were used to prepare them. For these older profiles, it is preferred that you go directly to whatever sources were cited in the Wikipedia article and use those sources directly.

Answer 2

There is actually two different profiles for Anthony Beaumont, and Mary Beaumont is attached already as the daughter of the other profile  I'll propose the merge of the two profiles.

That is excellent - I couldn’t quite work out why I was getting lost.
