1915 Palestine locust infestation1915 Ottoman Syria locust infestation – The article is clearly dealing with a single locust infestation event in 1915, which affected modern areas of Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine (at the time provinces of Ottoman Syria); it doesn't seem logical to name this event only for Palestine, while other regions were also affected. Another possibility is 1915 Eastern Mediterranean locust infestation or something similar GreyShark (dibra) 07:32, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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 1915 Ottoman Syria locust infestation'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 07:09, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
