Orphaned references in Women in the yellow vests movement

edit

Lol, wtf is this? How is this different from the other Yellow Vest wiki page, other than the fact it only talks about the women in the campaign? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.184.55.7 (talk) 04:23, 9 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

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 Women in the yellow vests movement'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 "AI":

  • From Amnesty International: "New Secretary General Kumi Naidoo pledges support for African human rights defenders to hold the powerful to account". Amnesty International. 17 August 2018. Retrieved 26 September 2018.
  • From Yellow vests movement: "Police must end use of excessive force against protesters and high school children in France". Amnesty International. Archived from the original on 27 December 2018. Retrieved 7 January 2019. {{cite web}}: Unknown parameter |dead-url= ignored (|url-status= suggested) (help)

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 18:54, 11 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Use of grammar tense

edit

"They also sit at an intersection of many past feminist critiques of problems facing women."
Is the use of the present tense here justified? I guess, it can be if it means the movement in general, but was this really the intention of the writer? Or should it be just the past tense like elsewhere in the article?--Adûnâi (talk) 03:46, 12 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
