Orphaned references in Slavery in Africa

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 Slavery in Africa'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 "ReferenceA":

From Privateer: "In the Eye of All Trade: Bermuda, Bermudians, and the Maritime Atlantic World, 1680–1783", by Michael Jarvis, University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, 2010
From Ottoman Empire: Stone, Norman "Turkey in the Russian Mirror" pp. 86–100 from Russia War, Peace and Diplomacy edited by Mark & Ljubica Erickson, Weidenfeld & Nicolson: London, 2004 p. 95.

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 ⚡ 02:36, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant references

In the middle paragraph of the Effect on the economy of Africa section, there are many references that do not pertain to the text.

Examples: "Exchange‐Traded Funds (ETFs) and Commodity Markets". Commodity Strategies: High‐Profit Techniques for Investors and Traders. 2 January 2012. pp. 129–152. doi:10.1002/9781119198611.ch7. ISBN 9780470126318. "Application Technology – Making the Most of Money Spent on Pesticides". 1 February 2020. doi:10.1094/grow-cot-02-20-235. S2CID 240822292. "Inflation rate: food, percentage change over same period previous year". Main Economic Indicators. 2020 (6). 11 June 2020. doi:10.1787/6b269bae-en. ISSN 2219-5009. S2CID 240928666 "Trade 2004". doi:10.1787/568532110800.

Some of the DOI links go to spreadsheets that are likely not the best source of information for this topic. The inflation rate and trade references could container relevant information, but they're from the 2000s, not from the period of history being discussed.

If I knew a bit more about this topic, I would remove these references as spam/troll. 198.232.211.130 (talk) 16:49, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
