Orphaned references in Bush shoeing incident

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 Bush shoeing incident'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 ⚡ 20:22, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Iraq uses Day/Month/Year format and this article should too.

This was not an American incident purely because the victim (or potential victim) was American. Asperthrow (talk) 16:52, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
