The Hailie Jade Scott Mathers article was blanked and that title now redirects to Eminem. The contents of the former article are available in the redirect's history; for the discussion at that location, see the redirect's talk page.

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 Eminem'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 "US100":

• From Bad Meets Evil: "Bad Meets Evil Album & Song Chart History: Hot 100". Billboard. Prometheus Global Media. Retrieved May 15, 2012.
• From Recovery (Eminem album): "Eminem Album & Song Chart History: Hot 100". Billboard. Prometheus Global Media. Retrieved December 31, 2011.

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. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT⚡ 17:03, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the "Allegations of homophobia" subheading under the "Controversies" heading, the link for Eminem's song "Fall" is currently linking to the page about autumn, the season. It should instead link to Fall, the Eminem song which is found here Fall (Eminem song) - Wikipedia 2403:580D:6DCD:0:7668:FD6F:4C56:77B2 (talk) 03:08, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
