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 1898 Michigan Wolverines football team'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 "Three":

• From Keene Fitzpatrick: "Michigan's 'Big Three,' Yost, Baird, Fitzpatrick". The Newark Daily Advocate. 1903-10-05.
• From Charles A. Baird: "Michigan's 'Big Three,' Yost, Baird, Fitzpatrick". The Newark Daily Advocate. 1903-10-05.

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⚡ 05:49, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
