Citing Ancestry dot com [closed]

Question

It suddenly occurred to me that sourcing Census and other documents from Ancestry dot com may not be such a good idea.  What about the Genealogists who do not have a subscription to Ancestry??  I don't think they will be able to access the source.  Is there somewhere else that I can get good high resolution Census pages?  What is the best way to do this?

Thanks in Advance!

Everyone is most welcome at WikiTree :) here is a Good link if I have not already shared it (Lots of Video help also): https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Jillaine's_Dream_Source_Help_Page &

On any WikiTree page hover your mouse over the word Help (Top Right), a drop-down menu appears click on Help Index (We all spend lots of time in there lol), click the letter V for Video. Lot of them! and S for Sources! https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sources . JPV IV :)

Thank You John... I have decided that sourcing from Ancestry is probably not the best approach.  I am going back and writing my biographies with text sources.  I think in the long run it will make a much cleaner Bio.
