Orphaned references in Carnival Splendor
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 Carnival Splendor'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 "Ward":

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⚡ 01:33, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Mystery about the total power loss
Material from http://www.usatoday.com/travel/cruises/2010-11-12-cruise-inside_N.htm?loc=interstitialskip looks reliable enough for me. It includes the opinion of Clark Dodge, former chief engineer for Washington State Ferries. Please do not remove without explanation Audriusa (talk) 19:01, 14 November 2010 (UTC). Here is my take on this. I would argue that Clark Dodge's quotes not be used. I have a maritime university education and have a knowledge of vessel operations, and this full power loss is not really a mystery. It was just a bad fire. Plane and simple. I would like to start a dialogue about removing his quotes and adding a technical explanation towards the fire and power loss. -Greg
