Luckily for me, the 2 small churches in Indiana that my German emigrant ancestors attended still have their old record books (albeit, one of them took the pages out of the books when the history committee set about translating them for publication). Anyway, one of the churches had them on their website previously. My reference note ended up looking like this:
So I've brought up using WVCulture (West Virginia Vital Records) before. For reference, I tend to lead with the site since I have lots of records from it. Here is an example reference note:

I'm creating a presentation, and for a bit of humor and to make a point, i'm quoting from the song "Cecilia," by S&G [yes that makes me slightly past youngster :)]. I've got two thoughts:
1. Just quote the song
Paul Simon, "Cecilia," (Columbia, 1970).
2. Add a website that displays the lyrics
Paul Simon, "Cecilia," (Columbia, 1970); lyrics at SongLyrics (https://www.songlyrics.com/simon-garfunkel/cecilia-lyrics/ : accessed 14 April 2022).
Dear Elizabeth,
The example you use at the top of p. 141 (Section 3.26) is extremely useful on a number of fronts.
My issue concerns this record, which I highly doubt I would have ever found, had it not been for a kindhearted FS user, who posted their discovery of this record here.
EE 3.24-3.30 covers the basic elements and formats to cite family artifacts in private possession. What is becoming even more and more prevalent since the publication of the revised third addition, is the ease of carrying around our cell phones to digitize the artifacts.
Canadian Voters Lists are available on microfilm at the Library and Archives Canada (LAC), but they are far easier to access via Ancestry. Ancestry has imaged the LAC microfilms and has cited the LAC film numbers. The imaged pages, bear a stamp indicating the "page" [microfilm frame number]. This is consistent with the way LAC has catalogued the material on its site. In short; the film number and frame number uniquely identify a page within a jurisdiction and year.
Looking for guidance on when to place the emphasis on the document or the provider.
I have searched the forum and the EE index and did not find anything specific on citing records/entries that extend across a two page spread of a bound volume. I have come across some volumes which may have one page number written in upper LH corner of the LH page, some with a printed number on LH page, some with the same number printed on both the LH and RH pages of the spread and some un-paginated.
Dear Editor,
I was wanting to ask for your opinion on a citation I have crafted for a 5 page document that are all part of the one marriage settlement. On the back of one of these pages, it shows:
Mr John Cowlen
Hello! I have an image of a certified death certificate that was requested by the widow shortly after a man's death in 2004. I am having trouble figuring out if it a state or local record. Here is an image of the top and bottom of the image (I did not include the full certificate for privacy reasons):
