Citation Issues

I have several physical certificates that I received from the GRO many years ago. I recently purchased the updated EE book, 3rd edition, revised (kindle), 2017. I then reviewed the 2-3 forum posts on citing GRO certificates.  I noted that the ones referring to citing physical certificates do not resemble the example in section 9.48, p. 474-475. So, I thought I'd best ask if views on the content/structure of such citations had changed since the book was released?

Is it my imagination or did someone say that EE nor longer requires the citation line (citing National Archives and Records Administration microfilm M33, roll 57) on the federal census because they are so readily available online? I have continued to include it but now I wonder if it is overkill.

I would like some help in crafting a citation for the following record:

https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C13459274

I did visit the TNA in Kew last year, and looked at the "original" record at the archive. I have included a partial copy.

This is what I have come up with so far.

Enlistment record for Alexander Herd, 14 October 1793; Royal Horse Artillery: Description Books; Ordnance Office, Military Branch, and War Office: Royal Artillery Records of Service and Papers, 1793-1813; RG WO 69/2; The National Archives, London.

I’ve tried my question previously and received one reply that did not help me understand my issue. All my sources are from things published in the 1800s or early 1900s in newspapers, journals, books. I have online sources of newspaper articles (via Newspapers.com, Genealogybank.com, etc.) online journal fiction and non-fiction pieces (found at places like Internet Archive, Hathitrust,org, etc.), online books (found at places like Google Books).

Hi everyone I'm in the process of going over all my sources for a book I'm writing on my dad's side the family. I manage to get a copy of Evidence Explained from my library and its been endlessly helpful but its also hard to find the exact answer to something I'm just now learning to how properly formate things. I used A LOT of articles from newspapers.com. I've been trying to work out how I could cite both the website version and the print version at the same time so others would know how to look for the hardcopy if need to.

Good evening!

Several years ago I visited an archive in Ukraine where I had the pleasure of reviewing church registers. I now am preparing my first citation to one of those records and a few questions are coming to mind. I’ve drafted a citation as follows:

Dear Editor;

Perhaps a seemingly trivial question, but your opinion would be appreciated.

Sometimes the way in which ScotlandsPeople states their reference numbers could result in recording them incorrectly. I believe I have a solution, but I'm wondering about just how much leeway I have in the way I cite them.

I recently received a state death certificate without a certificate number. The subject died in 1941. I queried the state vital records office and learned that there were no certificate numbers until 1960.

I need to cite the 1956 Brooklyn Telephone Directory on Internet Archive. https://archive.org/details/brooklynnewyorkc1954newy/mode/2up

There is no cover or title page and no where in the directories is the name mentioned. The title from year to year changes slightly. Since I don't know the exact title is this a case where I would make something up like Brooklyn Telephone Directory, 1956 and put it in quotation marks? or since its published does it still need to be in italics?

I currently have the following edition of Evidence Explained.

Mills, Elizabeth Shown. Evidence Explained. 3rd edition (for Kindle). Baltimore, Maryland. Genealogical Publishing Company. 2015.

I'm finding that this edition is starting to show its age and does not address some of the topics under discussion on the EE website forums. I'd like to replace my current copy. However; the 3rd edition (revised) may only be marginally better than what I currently own. Is there another Evidence Explained release planned in the near future?
