The tool I use, AWB is only for users with more edits. However, a great tool autoFormatter is available. I use this tool when making non-AWB edits.
I removed the "A history of three generations of the Burgerhuys family" section because it does not belong in the article proper. 99% of genealogy sites like the ones in the article are not reliable. It also doesn't tell about the town. Bgwhite (talk) 22:24, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the pointer to autoFormatter.

On the material you removed, may I respectfully point out that (a) it wasn't in 'the article proper' as you say, but in a footnote; (b) the date of the church bell is disputed, both in print and among living inhabitants, so a reference to some source is necessary when taking one side or the other; (c) one of the links you removed (the one that matters) is not to a genealogy site but to a Dutch history of clockmakers and bell-founders in the Netherlands; (d) I could replace this with a reference to a printed book on Old Scottish Clockmakers, but as it happens the book has errors whereas the Dutch website does not and this would be a retrograde step.
