Undefined sfn reference in Siege of Detroit

Hi, in this edit ↗ to Siege of Detroit ↗ you introduce <nowiki>{{sfn|Turner|2011|p=108}}</nowiki>. Unfortunately there is no work "Turner 2011" listed. This means that nobody can look the reference up, and the article is added to :Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors ↗. If you could supply the missing source it would be appreciated. DuncanHill (talk) 21:25, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

:Added Wesley Turner's 2011 ''The Astonishing General'' to the bibliography and tested citation. Griffin's Sword (talk) 21:56, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
::Thank you, DuncanHill (talk) 21:59, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Henry Procter

Fantastic work on Procter's article! However, two of the sources you cited "Antal 2016" and "Casselman 1902" have no corresponding book/article to link to in the bibliography, just to let you know. Llammakey (talk) 18:58, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Your edits to Simon Girty ↗

In July 2025 you added the following Sfn cites to this article:

<nowiki>{{sfn|Catalano|2015}}, {{sfn|Catalono|2015|pp=78-82}}, {{sfn|Pect|1904|p=76}}, & {{sfn|Hoffman|2011|pp=286-287}}</nowiki>.<br>

These cites are each lacking a full/complete citation such as cite book to target or to link to, and so, are causing numerous Harv/sfn cite errors. Please add the complete citations and this article will no longer be in :Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors ↗.<br>
The reason I can see these errors is I have the "User:Trappist the monk/HarvErrors.js" script installed on my common.js page, For instructions and explanations of this script, see User:Trappist the monk/HarvErrors.<br>
Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 16:33, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
:PS - The first Catalano sfn ref mentioned above is also in error because it lacks page numbers. The spelling of that author's last name also varies throughout the article between Catalano & Catalono... - Shearonink (talk) 16:33, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
:I've corrected the sfn and dmy date errors. Thanks for pointing these out. Griffin's Sword (talk) 20:24, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm Magnolia677. An edit that you recently made to :Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania ↗ seemed to be generated using a large language model ↗ (an "AI chatbot ↗" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications is not allowed on Wikipedia ↗, and may contain factually inaccurate statements, fictitious citations, or other problems. You should instead read reliable sources ↗ and then summarize those in your own words. Your edit may have been reverted ↗. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or ask your questions at the Teahouse ↗, a friendly place for new users. Thanks.{{PAGENAME}} ↗ Magnolia677 (talk) 21:20, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

:Unclear why my recent edit is thought to have been generated by an AI chatbot. Since I don't feel like arguing, I've rewritten and condensed the edit. Please note that I am an experienced editor who had contributed to close to 100 articles. Griffin's Sword (talk) 14:24, 22 June 2026 (UTC)
