Orphaned references in Anna Hall (athlete)

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 Anna Hall (athlete)'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⚡ 03:20, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Requested move 29 September 2024

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved as proposed. There was a consideration raised that she was also known as a pentathlete, but that was countered with the assertion that she's best known as a heptathlete, and overall there's consensus to move.  — Amakuru (talk) 13:15, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Anna Hall (athlete) → Anna Hall (heptathlete) – (alternatively Anna Hall (track and field)) Given Anna Hall (volleyball), per Wikipedia:NCSP § Athletics (track and field): To avoid the conflict between general sportspeople and the sport of athletics (track and field), it's best to disambiguate by event category rather than use a generic "(athlete)" suffix. It may also be worth considering moving to Anna Hall as the primary topic; the question is whether to count Anna Hall Roosevelt in the pageviews but I don't think the Roosevelt is notable under that name.

• Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 16:25, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
• Support, I think these types of moves from the "athlete" suffix will need to be done en masse by a bot eventually. --Habst (talk) 17:33, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose, but move to Anna Hall (athlete, born 2001). A rare instance where we need a YOB disambiguator. Heptathlete isn't 100% accurate. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:21, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

  The subject is most known for being a heptathlete, so I would call that accurate. The term "athlete" is problematic in article titles because it has a different regional meaning (in the U.S. it means "sportsperson" while in Europe it means "competitor in the sport of athletics"). Because of this I would avoid using that word save for exceptional circumstances. --Habst (talk) 13:45, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

  And I would entirely agree and have moved many articles away from the "athlete" disambiguator to something more specific. But this is one of those exceptional circumstances, given she also holds a pentathlon record. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:53, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
