Thank you for creating the article John Clinton, 6th Lord Clintonon14 November 2016. However it is clear that the contents came from Darryl Lund's website thepeerage.com.Lundy's website is not reliable (it is self published by a none expert), but you can use Lund's website as a source providing the information he provides is backed up by a Wikipedia reliable source (some of it isn't it comes from email correspondence and the like).
Unless you have access to his reliable sources, you can not cite his sources directly, instead you must cite his source and then the reliable source. This is explained in more detail in the section in the citations guideline linked to by WP:SAYWHEREYOUREADIT.
I have copied edited the article and added in the appropriate style of citations see this edit. If you have added information based on any of Lundy's pages to any other article and have not stated that the information came from his website, please add the appropriate additional citations as specified in WP:SAYWHEREYOUGOTIT.
Anchors:
The section used to give not advise on year format for ranges. The alteration to being 4 digit intolerance started without an RfC by user:PL290. I have not objected because at the time I was not aware of the change and because the current wording it includes "usually" which allows wriggle room.
For a long time Wikipeida used full year in all dates because the year used to be linked to the year article, so people used 2015-[[2016]] probably because it was easier to type than 2015–[[2016|16]], but as it was widely used no one bothered with explicit rules. The policy of linking years was eventually abolished after a long and acrimonious abate which culminated in an RfC on the issue.
The reason for such abbreviations came about in old physical publications because each character in a physical book costs money (and also explains the use of standard Latin abbreviations like eg). The EB1911 saved pages in every volume by using such abbreviations and other tricks such as concatenating paragraphs unless it is absolutely necessary for reasons other than style.
Wikipedia is not a book we do not need to make such space savings (the argument advanced and widely accepted for not truncating the moth to the first three letters). Particularly when there are arguments the other way:
The weight of advised on the guideline page was for full years on ranges up until this edit on
However if one looks at the start of 2011 the advise is contradictory and supports both formats:
It is only gradually that we have ended up in the current position where there is such a strong statement and as far as I can tell we have stumbled into this without any real justification for it.

In the conversations over WP:V you mentioned an example using EB1911. Over the last 48 hours I have been working on converting a simple template for a PD source into a more comprehensive one and then converting the instances of {{WaceBio}} into {{DCBL}}.
As a side issue I am going through the 2 dozen affected articles adding citations, as the original text carries non (it was added some years ago when the demand for citations was not as comprehensive as it is now). In doing this I have come across three basic types of copies:
The first two would be stylistically stunted, but I think that the last two would be impossible to keep in their current format unless they were completely rewritten as if using standard copyright material -- a restriction I see harming the project.

What concerns me most is the attitude that is developing between some editors that to paraphrase the a quote in the terrorism#Pejorative use article
On one point, at least, everyone agrees:
terrorism[disruption] is a pejorative term. It is a word with intrinsically negative connotations that is generally applied toone's enemies and opponents, or[to those with whom one disagrees] and would otherwise prefer to ignore. `What is calledterrorism[disruption]', Brian Jenkins has written, `thus seems to depend on one's point of view. Use of the term implies amoraljudgement; and if one party can successfully attach the labelterrorist[disruption] to its opponent, then it has indirectly persuaded others to adopt itsmoralviewpoint.' Hence the decision to callsomeone or label some organization `terrorist'[a string of edits disruptive] becomes almost unavoidably subjective, depending largely on whether one sympathizes with or opposes the person/group/causeconcerned. If oneidentifies with the victim of the violence[disagrees with the edit], for example, then the act isterrorism[disruptive]. If, however, one identifies with the perpetrator, theviolentact is regarded in a more sympathetic, if not positive (or, at the worst, an ambivalent) light; and it is notterrorismdisruption.

There is a fundamental difference between a navigational list such as often appears in the footnotes of an article and an ancestry tree. A navigational list such as the "Regnal titles" at the end of this article contains a series of facts, each of which can be checked in the link provided. However in an ancestry tree there is information conveyed in the tree that is probably not available in of the individual articles. As an example: where is the source in any article that『Elisabetha Röhrig』is the great-great grandmother of Albert II, Prince of Monaco?
It is very easy to construct an ancestry tree from unreliable sources published on the internet. However it only takes one mistake for large parts of the tree to be incorrect. For example if a grandmother is recorded as the first wife rather the second wife (the correct mother), then a quarter of the tree will be inaccurate, even if all the other entries for every single person are correct. For this reason trees need accurate sourcing from reliable sources.
It is easy to find the parents of a child in the child's biography, but it is often difficult to find all the children of couple. However if some of the children are notable enough to have their own biography in a reliable source, this can lead to editors unwittingly adding WP:OR into an ancestry tree.
Let us suppose we are looking for the parents of a daughter X (the grandmother of the subject of an article). However X does not have a biography in a reliable source, but the father of X does (call him Y). In the biography of Y it names his wife (Z). The biography of Y states that Y and Z had a son (A) and four daughters, only 2 of which are named (B,C), but not the other two. Now it maybe that X is one of those two unnamed daughters, or it may be that X is the daughter of another marriage not included in the biography of Y. If one jumps to the conclusion that X is the daughter of Y and Z then this breaks the WP:NOR policy specifically a "synthesis of published material, because to conclude that the mother of Z is the grandmother of X is a synthesis.
Please list the sources you used to support the restoration of the ancestry tree of Albert II, Prince of Monaco, so we can discuss if they are adequate reliable sources.

Explanation of how few citation are usually needed |
|---|
|
The number of sources needed is often much smaller that appears to be the case initially as a reliable genealogical source will often span many generations. See for example Charles I of England#Ancestry where one source covers the whole tree. Even where that is not the case in the example Henry Percy, 3rd Earl of Northumberland#Ancestry all thirty entries are covered by just 8 citations. A tree like Template talk:Ancestors of Charles II of Spain not need a citation on every node depicting the relationship with everyone to whom they are connected. As a parent can have many children, it is often simpler just to include a verification of parents in the child node as biographies usually include parents even if they do not include all the children. So in the case of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor (1500–58) a citation confirming his parents is sufficient (and if that citation includes mention of his spouse -- Isabella of Portugal) then one citation has covered all the information necessary. If no mention of his spouse is to be found (in that citation) then that relationship will be covered in the citation in the node Philip II of Spain. These citations can be added to the articles if they also do not carry citations for these facts. |

"Both armies were very indifferently supplied with information, as both were without any reliable regular cavalry capable of piercing the screen of outposts with which each endeavoured to conceal his disposition, and Napoleon, operating in a most unfriendly country, suffered more in this respect than his adversaries." [1]
"This led the latter to push on without due regard to tactical precautions, and Blücher took advantage of their carelessness when at Haynau (May 26), with some twenty squadrons of Landwehr cavalry, he surprised, rode over and almost destroyed Maison's division. The material loss inflicted on the French was not very great, but its effect in raising the moral of the raw Prussian cavalry and increasing their confidence in their old commander was enormous."
As was shown in the great move debate of 2012 over the article now titled "Men's rights movement"
Citation templates are neither required nor recommended, though they may be used at the discretion of individual editors.Some editors find them helpful, and other editors find them annoying, particularly when used inline in the text. Because they are optional, editors should not change articles from one style to the other without consensus.
