Split?[edit]

I suggest that we split this page, so we got a separate "History of Norhtern Rhodeisa" page wich delas with the details of the history, and a general review of it on the "Northern Rhodesa" page, as it is with most existing countrie (i.e. Zambia).

The reason for doing so is that I am constructing a serie on the History of Zambia, and relevant subpages for it is needed.

Good or bad idea? Discuss it on Talk:History of Zambia.

Orphaned references in Northern Rhodesia[edit]

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 Northern Rhodesia'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 "Gordon":

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 ⚡ 16:23, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

These are are effectively identical references, formatted slightly differently. Shscoulsdon (talk) 07:19, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
