Advice before editing this pre-1700 Davies profile?

Question

I have information to contribute to the profile of George Harburt Davies. Davies-16228 This is what I can add:

• marriage info

These are the sources I am using:

• Wiltshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812   Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre; Chippenham, Wiltshire, England; Wiltshire Church of England Parish Registers; Reference Number: 1607/1   Link 1 https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/61187/images/45582_1831109331_0928-00054?ssrc=pt&treeid=172012387&personid=392443242243&hintid=&usePUB=true&usePUBJs=true&_gl=1*3ma97s*_ga*OTU4ODQyMDYuMTY3NzYwNjQ3NA..*_ga_4QT8FMEX30*MTY3Nzc5NzQ5Ny4xMy4xLjE2Nzc3OTc2NDguNTUuMC4w&_ga=2.230769819.508364286.1677606500-95884206.1677606474&pId=373375  Link 2 https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=61187&h=373375&ssrc=pt&tid=172012387&pid=392443242243&usePUB=true&_gl=1*gd4wgn*_ga*OTU4ODQyMDYuMTY3NzYwNjQ3NA..*_ga_4QT8FMEX30*MTY3Nzc4MTUzOS4xMS4xLjE2Nzc3ODQwMzQuNjAuMC4w*_ga_B2YGR3SSMB*YzY5OTk4MzgtNjM1YS00ODA1LTk4OGItYmJjMmZiYjNjZGM3LjEyLjEuMTY3Nzc4NDAzNC42MC4wLjA. 

Should I contact one of the pre-1700 projects or know about any style guidelines before proceeding? Thank you!

Be sure to link to the register image, not just the transcript.

thanks Lois--  but I don't know the difference -- noobie here

The transcript is the part in the middle that starts Name: George Harburt, etc.

The register image is the part on the upper left side of the page that says View, which when you click on it shows a photocopy of the original parish register. That is the more reliable source, as transcripts sometimes contain errors or omit information.
