Orphaned references in 1947 in music

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 1947 in music'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 "Capitol":

From 1947 in country music: "Capitol 100 - 499, 78rpm numerical listing discography". www.78discography.com. Retrieved 2022-04-14.
From 1949 in music: "Capitol 15000 series numerical listing discography". www.78discography.com. Retrieved 2022-07-18.

Reference named "Columbia1":

From 1947 in country music: "COLUMBIA (USA) 37000-37500 78rpm numerical listing discography". www.78discography.com. Retrieved 2022-07-05.
From 1945 in music: "COLUMBIA 78rpm numerical listing discography: 36500 - 37000". www.78discography.com. Retrieved 2022-05-03.
From 1948 in music: "COLUMBIA 78rpm numerical listing discography: 38000 - 38499". www.78discography.com. Retrieved 2022-04-21.

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 ⚡ 22:57, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am unaware of a rule that says my arbitrary reference names have to be consistent over multiple pages. Anyway, run your test again, it should be fixed, and I will add this to my routines.Tillywilly17 (talk)

Unfortunately, if someone deletes the "parent" ref that contains the actual content, the "child" refs are left orphaned and generate a bold red error in the references of the page. AnomieBOT tries to fix these orphans in two ways.

None of those references were orphaned and there were no error messages. I always check!
