Orphaned references in North Central Province, Sri Lanka

[edit]

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 North Central Province, Sri Lanka'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 "population":

  • From Provinces of Sri Lanka: "City Population". www.citypopulation.de. Retrieved 2008-08-18.
  • From Tamil people: Department of Census and Statistics of Sri Lanka. "Population by Ethnicity according to District" (PDF). statistics.gov.lk. Retrieved 2007-05-03.
  • From Northern Province, Sri Lanka: Northern Provincial Council Statistical Handbook 2008 (Population)
  • From Sri Lankan Tamil people: Department of Census and Statistics of Sri Lanka. "Population by Ethnicity according to District" (PDF). statistics.gov.lk. Retrieved 2007-05-03.

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⚡ 05:15, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Should the links in the Divisional Secretariat list be linked to the actual DS pages? Like so:

Administrative Divisions of North Central Province

Dimbulagala Polonnaruwa 79,661

Yes, they should link to the DS article, not the settlement.--Obi2canibe (talk) 16:59, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Neat, I will do the update! Uvants (talk) 04:48, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
