Orphaned references in Manchester City Council election, 2018

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 Manchester City Council election, 2018'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 ⚡ 23:20, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New wards

NOTE: This is an updated version of a post from 26 March, see history for previous version.

So, having reviewed the current wards against the previous ones the changes are...

Out:

Ancoats and Clayton (Donna Ludford standing in successor Clayton and Openshaw, Mick Loughman and Ollie Manco standing down)
Bradford (Rosa Battle and Emma Taylor standing in successor Ancoats and Beswick, John Longsden standing down)
City Centre (Joan Davies standing in successor Deansgate, Kevin Peel standing down, Beth Knowles - elected 2014 - no longer on councillor list on council website and seems to work for Andy Burnham. Can find article saying she was planning to stand down - maybe went early?)
Gorton North (John Hughes and Afia Kamal standing in successor Gorton and Abbey Hey, Nilofar Siddiqi standing down)
Gorton South (Julie Reid standing in successor Gorton and Abbey Hey, Peter Cookson and Bernard Stone moving to Didsbury West and Levenshulme respectively)

In:

Ancoats and Beswick
Clayton and Openshaw
Deansgate
Gorton and Abbey Hey
Piccadilly

Other councillors standing down: Carl Austin-Behan (Burnage), Beth Marshall, Jon-Leigh Pritchard (both Crumpsall), Josie Teubler (Didsbury West), Amina Lone (Hulme), Chris Webb (Northenden), Andrew Fender (Old Moat).

Councillors moving: The aforementioned Cookson and Stone, plus Nasrin Ali (Levenshulme to Crumpsall). With all three, I am working on the assumption it's a move not someone with an identical name to a departing councillor!

Chorlton: councillor Sheila Newman passed away earlier in the year.
