Advice before editing this pre-1700 Mann profile?

Question

I created a profile for William Mann with some basic information/sources and now I just need to tidy it up and get it up to par with the rest of the Pre-1700 profiles.

These are the sources I am using:

• "England, Yorkshire, Bishop's Transcripts, 1547-1957", database, FamilySearch
•  "England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975", database, FamilySearch

Some of the images for the records seem to be available at a FamilySearch center or affiliate library (both are close by) so I plan on hitting those up and getting copies of the actual records to attach.

I have never actually created a pre-1700's profile or worked on one because usually by the time I get back this far I've connected with someone already researching the family.

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

I graciously accept any help/guidance :)

I think visiting the England Project page would be most helpful. The Project is worth visiting if you have not dealt with a pre-1700 profile from that country before, you never know right!  They do have Profile Standards under their Resources heading that you should look at. 

Also here is the Wikitree help page on Pre-1700 profiles in case you have not reviewed the info there. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles

Oh believe me that's where I went first! :) I've been looking at other pre-1700 profiles and seeing where to go next. Thanks!
