Talk:Mistral-class cruise ship

Four- or five-ship class

It seems to me that the name "Lirica-class" is an invention of MSC for their own fleet, hence named after the first one they owned, rather than the first one built, and only dating from 2002/3. That's fine of course. But is it right to describe Aidamira, which has never been connected to MSC, as a Lirica-class vessel? Perhaps just its common yard and design origin should be mentioned and linked? Davidships (talk) 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[amended]Davidships (talk) 22:31, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Mistral-class cruise ship

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 Mistral-class cruise ship'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⚡ 01:04, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
