Proposed merge with Children in the military[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was snow opposition to this merger proposal. Have a Great Day and Happy Publishing! Paine Ellsworth ^put'r there 15:41, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Page moved by copy / paste. Needs a history merge. QuiteUnusual (talk) 17:53, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I think this content fits better on a separate page, as it is now. It's too long for Children in the military. Fugitivedave (talk) 21:56, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. This article is a good idea, and I suggest we keep it. Paine Ellsworth ^put'r there 09:32, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I split it off, so I would, wouldn't I? Gog the Mild (talk) 12:24, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose These are are sizeable articles on distinct topics, so it seems sensible to keep them separate. Nick-D (talk) 06:08, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, per above comments and the quality of the history page. Randy Kryn (talk) 18:29, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in History of children in the military[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 History of children in the military'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 "ReferenceB":

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 ⚡ 19:20, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
