This article may be better presented in a timeline format/layout as that's how the "Biography" section currently reads. I considered adding a {{ Prose timeline}} but it's not easy to convert that text into cohesive flowing prose so maybe an easier solution would be a bullet point list of events? or maybe even some sort of a graphical timeline, using Template:Include timeline. -- œ ™ 22:46, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
The first 3 Strange Cargo album titles in the Solo Studio albums section correctly indicates William Orbit as the solo artist. The listing for "Strange Cargo Hinterland" is incorrect.
William Orbit is credited on the album but it was released in 1995 under the artist name "Strange Cargo" and the album is tiled "Hinterland". The first track from the album titled "Million Town" was released as a single also under artist name "Strange Cargo".
Please see the "Strange Cargo" page at http://www.discogs.com/Strange-Cargo-Hinterland/master/131662 for confirmation of these details. The Discography section on William Orbits site at http://www.williamorbit.com/home.html shows the artist as Strange Cargo & album title as Hinterland.

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 William Orbit'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 ⚡ 15:56, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
