Orphaned references in History of the Irish Americans in Philadelphia

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 the Irish Americans in Philadelphia'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 "upenn":

  • From Grace Kelly: "Margaret Majer Kelly (1899 -1990)". University of Pennsylvania.
  • From James Logan (statesman): "James Logan". upenn.edu.

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 07:13, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

History of the Irish Americans in PhiladelphiaHistory of Irish Americans in Philadelphia – By WP:DEFINITE and WP:CONCISE, the use of "the" should be dropped from this title because it simply is not necessary to convey the topic of the article. Additionally, the use of the definite article in this case is clunky and should not be in use per WP:NATURALNESS. For now, we can disregard the "political correctness" argument that using the definite article to refer to ethnic groups in certain cases is "othering" and a social wrong. While I personally think this argument is compelling, the true test of whether referring to "Irish Americans" with "the" is acceptable can simply be conducted by looking at the wider media: In 2019, news articles mentioning "the Irish Americans" were a very small fraction (1.9%) of articles mentioning "Irish Americans". By WP:COMMONNAME, the title of the article should be changed to reflect this usage by the media. Mysterymanblue (talk) 23:29, 4 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
