Citation Issues

CMSR Image at National Archives Catalog website

I have a question about citing an image of a compiled military service record found at the National Archives Catalog website. Unlike at Fold3, there's no database title; instead, the image is described as part of a NARA series and record group. The image is also offered without reference to the microfilm production [M258, roll 85], but it has a unique identifier, used in the URL: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/22028291. Interestingly, the image is from Fold3

So, here is an attempt at a reference note citation using 11.32 with a layer for the image:

Revised multi volume publication

I am trying to prepare a template that will cover the situation of revised editions and/or multi volumes.

The basic format for a published book is:

Author, role, Book Title (Pub Location: Publisher, Year), page.

and for multiple volumes, EEv3, 12.69, p. 705 guides us to include the total number of volumes immediately after the Title:

Author, role, Book Title, X volumes (Pub Location: Publisher, Year), page.

and for a revised edition, EEv3, QCM, p. 651, shows the edition data should be placed immediately after the Title:

Elements Organization

As I struggle to cope with the inherent inconsistencies of record citations, I am compelled to request an answer to this:

"Do I invariably have the option of organizing any citation elements from 'largest to smallest or smallest to largest'?"

I refer to occasions other than simple, straightforward reference notes.

Parish name or town name in certificates from German churches

I have several items written by German parish offices that certify information from church book entries. Some of them are completely typewritten. Others make use of preprinted forms with the information either typed or written in. These items provide the necessary information for use with the guidelines given in "Derivatives: Copies & Compilations" in EE 7.24 and 7.25 on pages 340-1.
