Comment: @Surowe:, you can WP:wikilink to another Wikipedia article, but you cannot cite a Wikipedia article as a footnote. That would be circular reasoning. I've fixed your two examples for you. Can you find any more news articles, or mentions in books, which you can use to cite facts about the society? That would help your case greatly, getting 4 or 5 strong citations from serious sources that prove the Society is something that's been analyzed and discussed.

The Society of Daughters of Holland Dames Descendants of the Ancient and Honorable Families of New_Netherland - was founded in New York City in 1895 as a non-profit hereditary organization to preserve and promote the legacy of the seventeenth-century Dutch settlers of New Netherland.[1] [2] The Society commissioned dedicated stained glass windows to the New-York Historical Society to honor the Arrival of the Half Moon as well as at St. Marks Church in-the-Bowery to acknowledge Peter Stuyvesant's contribution to the New York City.[3]The Holland Dames gifted its acquisition of a deed framed with Peter Stuyvesant's pear tree to the New-York Historical Society.[4]
The Society sponsors educational presentations and scholarship in New Netherland history.[5][6] Complementing an initiative by the Holland Society[7], The Society of Daughters of Holland Dames partnered with the New Netherland Institute (NNI) to promote the availability of online transcriptions and translations of all the original seventeenth-century New Netherland administrative records housed at the New York State Library and Archives.[8] The translation of these first founding documents, transformed an understanding of the impact of the Dutch on the founding of the United States of America. These translated records were the historical research basis for Russell Shorto's book "Island at the Center of the World."
Members of the Society of Daughters of Holland Dames are female direct descendants of an ancestor who lived in New Netherland before or during 1675.
