Using FamilySearch, Ancestry, or Geni profiles as sources is not acceptable for Pre-1700 profiles. The sources within the profiles are what should be used. Also, your link to the Ancestry Library just goes to a sign in page. More info for those sources need to be available to those profiles. Here is the link to the Scotland Project's sourcing guidelines. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Scotland_-_Reliable_Sources
If you have questions, please ask.
Thanks!
You added Joseph Angier Sr (1679-1718) as a son of Edmund Angier and his wife Ann Batt today. Do you have a reliable source for that information, such a a vital record or similar? Thank you
Thank you for your contributions to our tree.
I see that tonight you have been adding some pre-1700 profiles. Unfortunately, the links that you are using as sources are just going to a sign in page for Ancestry.library. It would be much more helpful if you would add an explanation of what these sources are - the name of the collection you are accessing and some detail about the source.
You can find some examples of what I mean here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Sources
Thanks!

I noticed you chose our Integrators Project Challenge for this month (Jan 2022), thank you!
Got a question, see this page: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Integrators_Challenge#How_the_Challenge_Works
Thank you and Good Luck!! Dorothy, Integrators Project Coordinator.
Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.
