Orphaned references in Joe Biden
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 Joe Biden'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 "bbc.com":
- From Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory: McCausland, Phil (2023-11-15). "Ukraine charges officials tied to Hunter Biden probe and Russia". Retrieved 2023-11-23.
- From Presidency of Joe Biden: Debusmann, Bernd Jr.; Wong, Vicky (January 10, 2025). "Biden issues pre-emptive pardons for siblings, Fauci and Jan 6 riot panel". BBC News. Retrieved February 10, 2025.
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. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT⚡ 14:22, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
