In this set of edits I made a number of citation and formatting changes. See the page history for details. Some of my key reasons were:

  • Who's Who is never a reliable source, because anyone can pay to have an entry in place;
  • "Lechay family papers" is an unpublished and therefore unreliable source;
  • refs go AFTER punctuation, not before;
  • use straight quotes;
  • Use logical quotation;
  • use specific link, not general one (Oral history);
  • italic title of book, give ISBN when possible;
  • combine duplicate refs; and
  • italic titles of periodicals

I hope these will be helpful to you in doing citations in this draft and elsewhere on Wikipedia. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 23:07, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
