Cheryl is getting ready for a big adventure and asked me to let you know that I was available to help going forward. You mentioned learning best by looking at examples. I had a look at the sources you have been finding and see that you are using the library edition of Ancestry. I recently wrote a G2G post about how to create citations with an expired Ancestry account. The principals are the same, though you will actually be able to see the images where others might not be able to. When looking at the records from the link you have provided, the information is below the indexed data, so you don't have to look for the left column.
Ancestry has, on a number of occasions, changed the links on their records and images. That is why the Ancestry link templates were created; when they inevitably change again, the Systems Team can make a small change to the template and the source link will continue working. Now that Ancestry owns FindAGrave, a template was created for their citations too (to find it, click the "view source" link in the memorial heading).
You mentioned below that you were happy to have help with profiles, so I have used your paternal grandfather's profile to provide some examples of citations I was able to create using the information you had on the profile and the tips from that G2G post. It will also give you some additional formatting tips (see the Editing Tips FAQ for more).
We have a program to help you learn how to create biographies that honor your ancestors, including links to the sources you found at Ancestry. If you are interested, you can find out more about that on the Profile Improvements Project (PIP) Voyage page.
Please do let me know if you have any questions about how WikiTree works, even if they seem minor. My rule of thumb when I started was to search for an answer for five minutes, then reach out to my Greeters, and then resume searching. I might have found the answer before they got back to me but they sometimes offered a different way of doing the same thing which was easier. We are always here to help.
See you in the branches,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Review the project pages for special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.
Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles that you manage, or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).

Thank you for upgrading to a family member and welcome to the Wikitree community, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Since WikiTree is different from other genealogy sites, we have a tour for new members How to - Click Here really useful as you add profiles and learn your way around
I would recommend adding tags like your surname, your mother and grandmother's maiden surnames and the country of your family origins. Clicking your green tags shows who is following the tag. Adding surname tags improves links to the community, research options and projects. If a tag only comes back to you the tag will need amending to link into the community. To add Tags: My Tags
