I would be interested to know how others have cited Griffiths Primary Valuation and Valuation Revision Books (Ireland) in Legacy. None of the available options listed in the Source Template Index on Legacy would appear to be what I need, but that might be because I don't understand many of the terms used in the lists?
The examples that you have provided for draft registration cards include in the reference notes something like "Local Draft Board 1." There are a lot of cards that don't say "Local Draft Board" or "Draft Board" on them. For example, the one of Irwin Skolly, at Ancestry, serial no. 9227, order no. 150, has Precinct, which is crossed out, and 17 E.D. - 8 H.D. written in, followed by City or County N.Y., and State N.Y.
Does a registration card mean a local draft board? If so, can we add those words to the reference note? Of should we not and simply go with the other information?
Editor, Greetings again!
I am struggling with a citation model for the Scotlandsplaces website. The databases on this website are various. I am using placenames A-Z for various farmsteads in the parish of Old Deer, Aberdeenshire. For example: Slampton farmstead. The citiation model I have created is:
National Archives of Scotland, " Ordinance Survey Name Books, 1865-1871," database, Scotlandplaces.gov.uk.(italics) (www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk: accessed 10 August 2015), entry for Slampton, parish of Old Deer, Aberdeenshire; citing OS1/1/68/139.

I've read EE 2.24 - 2.31, but it didn't seem to answer how to cite film numbers for online images of film at FamilySearch.
Then I saw the first reference note on page 439, EE 9.6, where the film number is part of the quotation in the citing part of the note.
Then I looked at the fourth reference note on page 469, EE 9.42, where no film number is given as part of the quotation in the citing part of the note. Checking the FamilySearch website, I saw that a film number was given for the image, it being 2,138,819.
Are there examples of the use of > in EE 3rd edition? I have the book, not the PDF version.
There are many variations and nuances in EE and I'm often unclear whether the use of one word or another is a personal preference (part of citation being an art) or flows from a significant difference. I'm unclear as to whether "consulted as" in the second reference note in EE 2.33 adds anything. At first glance, it seems to me that deleting the two words leaves a perfectly good citation.
1. I was creating a source list entry for a the image of a newspaper article found at Newspapers.com and I was going to include the information about the website, as suggested in EE 9.6, when I saw that no such information appears in the source list entry at EE 14.22, bottom of page 808. So now I'm confused when website information for online images should appear in source list entries.
2. The first reference note uses "image copy." I'm not sure what the difference is between "image" and "image copy."
With much hoopla, Ancestry added images of estate documents (wills, files and sometimes much more) for most US States, on September 1, 2015:

Then on September 24 and 25 Ancestry began to remove most of what had been uploaded for New Jersey. Much is now gone.
If you knew that the data you want to cite is now gone from your source-site, would you note this regrettable circumstance in your citation for a document? Here is an example:
On the surface, this seems like a straightforward problem/question, but I seem to be going around in a circle . . .
I came across a quotation in a novel that I want to save for possible use in a future presentation. The novel is a Kindle book that I purchased and downloaded from Amazon.com.
EE 12.60 gives an example for Electronically Readable Text (Kindle) that is clear and straightforward. But I ran into trouble as I tried to apply it.
