  This article begins by saying that Mike Pickering "has DJed". Normally, when biographies of people in the public eye are given, present tense is given, so it would make more sense if this read "Mike Pickering is..." and then put in his claims to fame.

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 Mike Pickering'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⚡ 11:14, 30 November 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
