@ John K:, that was copied over mostly verbatim from this edit from 2009. The article is really a hodgepodge, it should be proofread. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 09:01, 28 December 2015 (UTC) reply

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of The Minister and the Massacres's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 02:43, 20 May 2018 (UTC) reply
