A guide that explains how to properly add sections (among other things)
I noticed that you're adding (pseudo-)sections by bolding the title like this, which really doesn't create a new section.
As can be seen at User:Ian.thomson/Guide#Formatting, you add a section title by putting two equal signs on each side of the section title.
Other parts of the guide also explain some matters such as sourcing. Wikipedia largely avoids primary sources because they often require interpretation and Wikipedia does not use original research. Professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic secondary or tertiary sources are favored instead. Ian.thomson (talk) 20:55, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

:I just now read your Teahouse question and if you can find the actual 1869 newspaper on microfilm, you can use that as long as you document exactly where the article is so anyone could find it. It doesn't have to be online but that sure would help another person wishing to verify.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:33, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
