Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your recent contributions to historical subject articles but some of your edits to the following articles are problematic: Billy Blue, Henry Washington, Moses Wilkinson, George Washington and Black Loyalist‎‎.

While I do not discount your probable good intentions and apparent knowledge of the subject material, your edits did not follow the formating as put forth in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style article. Various accepted Wikipedia citations formats can be found here and  here.
 * For example, your revision of Billy Blue, from the previous version to this form changed the article's form from a generally-accepted Wikipedia style to a form that doesn't use linked inline citations but instead mixes bare citations and references in with the article's actual text.

You also appear to have a conflict of interest as you have repeatedly cited a source that is apparently written by yourself - Cassandra Pybus, Epic Journeys of Freedom: runaway slaves of the American Revolution and their global quest for liberty, (Beacon Press, Boston, 2006) per (at least) the following edits: this edit to Henry Washington, this edit to Billy Blue and this edit to George Washington.

Please study up on the links that I've provided above for ideas on how to craft your edits to the Wikipedia guidelines. Also, if you have additional questions on how to proceed you can go to the IRC Wikipedia-Help Channel and ask for some assistance from the volunteer helpers there.
