How does my Free-Space Profile Look?

I've entered in information on 12 books I have in my library which contain information on people who lived in Monroe, Licking, Ohio, USA into a Free-Space profile.  You can get to it from my profile by clicking on my category: Monroe Township, Licking County, Ohio. At the top of that page the third item is titled Sources. Clicking on that takes you to the free-space profile.  I'd like to make sure it works for others and any advice anyone would like to express on how to improve it.

Looks good Dave. If any of those books have public available online links, you should add them.

Looks good to me. My only comment is, why not reference it directly from relevant profiles? Apologies if you have but I haven't found them.

Thanks for the suggestion I do add the Category on every profile I find with a direct connection to Monroe Township, and clicking on it and then on the source link brings up the page.  I'm not sure if it's better having two links on every appropriate page or two clicks to get there is best.  However, I might add the link as a "see also" link since many other people are found in the sources other than the ones who lived in Monroe Township.
The question is whether you know what you are going to get after the first click. I like the see also: approach.

I've been adding free-space links above the biography heading on my profiles to link them directly to my free-spaces (for some family genealogy publications and papers).

Just place the space name between the double brackets ([[Space:Fuhs_Genealogy_Papers]]) to create the link, just as with categories.

Unlike categories, however, the free-space code is visible in the preview; so you can test the code before you save it.

Also, it seems you can actually place any link above the biography heading. Just use the brackets/double brackets - you may have a (fixable) spacing problem,though!

P.S. nice job, Dave!!

P.P.S. Here is the link for my referenced free-space:
