Orphaned references in 1960s

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 1960s'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 "worldbank.org":

From Economy of Africa: "Overview".
From South Korea: "Republic of Korea". worldbank.org. Archived from the original on 2 May 2014.

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 ⚡ 05:38, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Collage

The collage at the start of this article is to large, it squashes all the text to the left-hand side on mobile. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 21:43, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Collage

It appears an RFC on collages on Wikiproject years will be interpreted to also ban collages in decade articles. Users here may wish to participate. Koopinator (talk) 07:22, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Photo of Buzz Aldrin

The photo of Buzz Aldrin in the montage at the top of the page has for some reason been edited to show him holding a Swiss Army Knife. Hieywiey (talk) 00:22, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
