I'm returning to my genealogy after an absence of several years, and it looks like a lot has changed since I last crafted citations. Before I upgrade to EE, Third Edition, Revised, is there a fourth edition of EE in the works? Thanks.
Some of the information I am accessing on Généalogie Québec is buried several levels down in a file structure within a portion of their site accessible via a "landing page" and path. It's not accessible by using something like their "LaFrance" database. The complexity of accessing the image makes me wonder how best to cite it, in order to ensure someone else can find it. As I have quite a number of similar instances, may I ask for some feedback on the following proposed citation?
Here is the raw access info:
I have read EE about both FHL preservation films and church record books that have been recopied. Neither entry in EE also includes online images. As such, I am stumped on how to cite a record that I found online at familysearch.org. It is a recopied parish register that is available to anyone online, has an FHL #, and also has a stable URL. How do I cite this?
Here is the stable URL: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS3L-HJ98
I want to cite the entry for Benjamin, son of Mareen Duvall the Younger and Sarah his wife. I originally cited it as:
I have a photocopy of a Civil War Muster Roll which I am not sure where I got so I am having trouble with how to write the source citation. The document looks like a photocopy of a ledger book, with the names of those mustering in to Company A 87th Illinois Volunteers.
I know that I made this photocopy from the original book, I just don't remember if I did it in Salt Lake City at the library or in Illinois at the state archives. I did it way back in the early 90s when I first started researching and did not write down any source information.
My question is two-fold...
I am using an affidavit from a Civil War Widow's Pension application packet that confirms the soldier's marriage. The affidavit states that the affidavit is the only evidence of the marriage as the original license and bond were destroyed by fire. My question is do I add that information to the citation?
I’m trying to cite an article that appears in The Floridian as part of a of the St. Petersburg Times.
Here’s the Article, https://www.newspapers.com/image/318582041. See also page 1 for a description a the bottom of the page https://www.newspapers.com/image/318577430/
I want to express my gratitude for Evidence Explained. I use the book and website daily to further my understanding and practice of genealogical research. I have been looking through the forum to see if you have more than one Source List Entry for a layered citation. I have an example with two Source List Entries. However, the Source Entry List with the Database with Images seems sufficiently clear.
I would appreciate direction and corrections to the following:

I am in the middle of "cleaning up" my citations for correct format, punctuation, consistency, etc., and noticed a difference in my Find A Grave citations from other online database citations.
What I find I just had. Lloyds of London has published a yearly volume with all (most?) of the ships for the British Empire. The entries include ship owner, ship master, and voyage(s) the ship went on. There isn't really a listed author or editor, unless you take the committee chair as the author. The book is a combination of all of the port agents keeping track of the ships in their port. With that said here's my stab at the citation:
The Ottawa City Archives holds the physical marriage register of St. Andrew's church and sent me by email a digital image of a page which is not numbered and contains chronological multiple entries. I am not sure if the register has a formal title (working on this) but from a book about the church records I know it contains entries from 1858-1930. My attempted citation:
