Did you know... that the 12-gun brig HMS Constant captured at least seven French and Dutch vessels while at sea between 1806 and 1813?

Orphaned references in HMS Constant (1801)

Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

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 HMS Constant (1801)'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.

Reference named "Winfield":

From HMS Carrier (1805): Winfield (2008), p.370.
From HMS Tartar (1801): Winfield (2008), p.155.
From HMS Piercer (1804): Winfield (2008), p.340.
From HMS Lynx (1794): Winfield (2008).
From HMS Telegraph (1813): Winfield (2008), p. 367.

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 ⚡ 11:26, 29 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
