Resources are to help people understand the history of a place/time.
Sources are where researchers will expect to find vital and other information about their specific ancestors.
Rather than them having to look through all the Counties pages. So, they were copied and pasted from the Counties teams pages.
I agree 100% about the difference.
There were no sources or references on the Sourcerers Team page. I was just trying to make it easier for them to locate them since they will be sourcing in different areas.
sources are the source of a piece of information
resources are where you might find sources and/or more information about the place and time (the Pre-1700 Reliable Sources Pages are resources for finding sources)
references are anything you refer to
Let's take one of the Peter Joneses as an example: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Jones-38484
We know he is son of Peter and Mary Jones, born 28 March 1731 and baptized 23 September 1731 in Bristol Parish, Virginia & his bio has that statement, citing the reliable source of The Vestry Book and Register of Bristol Parish, Virginia 1720-1789 (details on this source on his profile).
That statement was also sourced to a Family Search page, but that FS page was moved to "See also" with an explanation of its shortcomings - even though the BPR verified the info it contained, BPR is the better source so it was retained in the bio and the added FS "reliable with conditions" source (the condition being the info needs confirmation) was moved to "see also" and the person page for him found in the linked FS Pedigree File (an unreliable source on its own, but a potential resource for finding a reliable source, if the Pedigree File includes any).
Still, if someone creates a profile for the unverified wife named in the Pedigree File, that unsourced people page - https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/2DXK-JTK - from the Pedigree File is going to be the only source for her, albeit an unreliable source.
