I need help with the sources that seem to be correct in my source box but wrong in the preview.

Question

I have added multiple sources to the profile of Jenkins-11479. I have added them the way I thought the style required.  The Preview shows many errors. Adding spaces between lines, indenting some sources but not others, and urls running outside of the box. I would appreciate anyone looking at this profile and helping me correct it.

Answer 1

You have an extra * on the first source, a missing * on one, and a couple of extra carriage returns.  Why 3 copies of the marriage record?

Herbert, I had not picked up two copies of 1 marriage record, but the 3rd marriage record is a different marriage.

Thanks, Gaile!  Glad I didn't just 'fix' it.

Have you edited my sources so they are correct? When I went back to the profile it told me someone was actively editing it.  Thank you.

There are 3 marriage records because: 1 record is for the marriage of Francis M. Jenkins to Ann Seal on 09 Jul 1863; 1 record is for the marriage of F.M. Jenkins to Ann Seal on 19 Jan 1870; and the third is for the marriage of F.M. Jenkins to Julia A. Breland on 22 Jan 1891.  I am trying to find the correct date for the marriage of Francis to Ann. Until I do I thought it best to include both sources.

Oops - I hadn't noticed the different dates on the 2 Ann Seal marriages.  THANX, Ginger!

Yes, I did edit the profile (see my answer below).  Please click the Changes tab and you'll be able to click on each of 3 changes that I made to see exactly what I did.

Thanks for explaining the multiple marriages.  I didn't edit it; the change log says Gaile did it.

Thanks for the Best Answer, Ginger! 

Answer 2

Ginger, that is an amazing list of sources - you deserve a BIG CONGRATULATIONS for your work on that profile!

I just made 3 changes to your sources and explained each one.  They are all nothing changes, though - hardly more than typos.  You did a wonderful job there.

EDITED TO ADD:  The preview does not always give a true representation of how the profile view page will look.  The view page looks fine - nothing running into margins, etc.  You're better off saving your work and looking at the view page to see what it REALLY looks like.
