Orphaned references in Orange S.A.

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person 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 Orange S.A.'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.

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 ⚡ 17:27, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Merger of content

Per the result of Talk:Orange_(telecommunications)#Merger_proposal, that content has now been merged into this article. There is likely to be some ref work that still requires correction but content has otherwise been moved over.--Labattblueboy (talk) 18:16, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
