Advice before editing this pre-1700 Smith-110210 profile?

Question

I have information to contribute to the profile of William Smith (Smith-110210). This is what I can add:

• Additional children (currently only 4 of 14 are listed on his WikiTree profile)

These are the sources I am using:

• The records of Chief Justice William Smith (1728 – 1793) made during his visit to England with his son William Smith III (1769 – 1847) in 1784.  These records are in the form of a letter written by William Smith III to Jonathan Sewell and dated December 9, 1796.
  • Maturin Livingston Delafield: Magazine of American History, 1881, pgs. 264-283 "William Smith, Judge of the Supreme Court of the Province of New York", pgs. 418-439 and "William Smith — The Historian, Chief Justice of New York and of Canada"
  • Appleton’s Cycolpædia of American Biography, V. 5, p. 591 & 592 (New York, 1894)
  • William Smith:  The Diary and Selected Papers of Chief Justice William Smith, 1784 - 1793, (L.S.F. Upton, ed.) Toronto, The Champlain Society, 1963 - 1965.
  • L.S.F. Upton:  The Loyal Whig: William Smith of New York and Quebec, University of Toronto Press, 1969.  ISBN 8020 5206 1
  • Charles F.H. Evans, The American Genealogist, Vol. 56, No. 4, October 1980 "Some English Ancestors of the Smith Family of New York" ISSN 0002-8592

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

FYI he has a Wikipedia page making him a Notable also his find a grave has no image of his gravestone. It would be wonderful to add more research and improve his profile.

I adopted this wonderful profile but it can definitely be improved upon with sourcing as you have researched further and with collaboration it is very much welcomed in the Wikitree tradition and spirit. Also you can request to be on the trusted list.  

Also you can take the pre 1700 certification quiz it appears he is not part of a ppp or project.
