Orphaned references in List of ships attacked by Somali pirates in 2008

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 List of ships attacked by Somali pirates in 2008'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 "economic times":

From List of ships attacked by Somali pirates: "Somali pirates release Greek tanker after ransom is paid". The Economic Times. 2008-11-21. Retrieved 2008-11-30.
From Piracy in Somalia: "Somali pirates release Greek tanker after ransom is paid". Economictimes.indiatimes.com. 2008-11-21. Retrieved 2009-03-27.

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 ⚡ 16:20, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
