I'm attempting to cite a newspaper clipping that was uploaded as an image to an Ancestry family tree. I've tried to combine the citation for a newspaper clipping (EE 3.36) with some of the good ideas I've seen on other threads on these forums about citing Ancestry family trees (https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content/re-citation-ancestry-family-trees-actually-i-think-theyre-unproven ; https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content/ancestrycom-public-member-photographs), to come up with the following:
Ruel McDaniel, "Panama is Producing First Irrigated Rice," undated clipping, prob. ca. 1960, from unidentified newspaper; uploaded 5 May 2011 by Heath Payne, to "Tripp Payne Family Tree," Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/22886583/person/1319200803 : accessed 20 January 2018), "Charles Elmer Payne Jr." entry.
I feel like there's still something missing, so I'd love any feedback or suggestions. Thanks!

So I already noticed something that was missing, which was the image title:
Ruel McDaniel, "Panama is Producing First Irrigated Rice," undated clipping, prob. ca. 1960, from unidentified newspaper; uploaded as "Grandpa Payne Panama," 5 May 2011 by Heath Payne, to "Tripp Payne Family Tree," Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/22886583/person/1319200803 : accessed 20 January 2018), "Charles Elmer Payne Jr." entry.
Laura, you've done well. The
Laura, you've done well. The only suggestion we might make is in that last phrase. You could more clearly identify the material by identifying it as, say:
profile for "Charles Elmer Payne Jr."
The term entry is more appropriate when a database or record book delivers an index entry or a single abstract of a record, as with a census or a line from a ship register.
Ah, that totally makes sense,
