Orphaned references in List of the oldest people by country

[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 List of the oldest people by country'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 "GRG-2021":

  • From List of the verified oldest people: "2021 validations". Gerontology Research Group. Retrieved 12 May 2024.
  • From List of Spanish supercentenarians: "2021 validations". Gerontology Research Group. Retrieved 22 July 2024.

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. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT⚡ 13:55, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
