Sourcing problems

[edit]

I am in a local history library, trying to correct these related articles, to which I added infoboxes and expanded significantly with local history sources 2 days ago, before my laptop blackscreened again and I received odd no-message calls, which I presume from my cyberbullies. I tried to correct some of the obvious syntax errors yesterday afternoon, despite the closure of the nearest local history library and reduced hours of the next nearest. However, signing into wikipedia soon produced another blackscreen and no message telephone calls, so I only corrected this article's syntax. Today, I noticed that TARCHON, who started this article about a year ago, reversed most of my edits earlier today on both articles, with considerable disparaging remarks about my lack of citations. However, it only cited one article and not in the article itself. Unfortunately the local history librarian at this institution cannot find that article. Before my edits Wednesday, I realized that both the Lyon Gardiner Tyler 1915 encyclopedia article and the Debra Gentry article in the 2001 encyclopedia cited relied on William Armstrong Crozier's research from a hundred years ago, which has obvious issues (both to me and Ms. Gentry). I and they used it nonetheless as the best available source. Noticing the Buckner surname of the supposed new article's writer, and having previously encountered wikipedia edits which boldly claimed people who may never have existed served in the Virginia General Assembly, I request a better cite.Jweaver28 (talk) 20:45, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
