Talk:2020 United States Senate election in South Dakota

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 2020 United States Senate election in South Dakota'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 "primaryresults":

  • From 2020 United States Senate election in Oregon: "May 17, 2016 Primary Election Results" (PDF). Oregon Secretary of State. Retrieved June 18, 2016.
  • From 2014 South Dakota gubernatorial election: "Primary Election - June 3, 2014". South Dakota Secretary of State. Retrieved July 17, 2014.

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 03:25, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So I can't help the poor computer bot above with what to do with its citations because I'm not quite sure where they came from, but I can say neither of them belong to this article, at least at the moment. One is indeed Oregon info, and nothing to do with South Dakota elections, the other currently goes not to the 2014 South Dakota election results, but to those from 2018. It goes to the SD secretary of state's page that gives results, and so I suspect gets updated every election. After the 2020 election it will probably update to reflect results for the election, but will no doubt change again in 2022.

Unrelated to that, I added Clara Hart's information to this page, but cannot find a webpage for her campaign so that is missing at this time.Cardweaver (talk) 03:44, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
