Orphaned references in Manchester City Council election, 2018
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 Manchester City Council election, 2018'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 "archive": From Manchester City Council election, 2000:  From Manchester City Council election, 2002:  From Manchester City Council election, 1998:  From Manchester City Council election, 2003:  From Brooklands, (Manchester ward):  From Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council election, 2002:  From Manchester City Council election, 1999:  From Manchester City Council election, 2004: </li> </ul>

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 ⚡ 23:20, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

New wards
NOTE: This is an updated version of a post from 26 March, see history for previous version.

So, having reviewed the current wards against the previous ones the changes are...

Out:
 * Ancoats and Clayton (Donna Ludford standing in successor Clayton and Openshaw, Mick Loughman and Ollie Manco standing down)
 * Bradford (Rosa Battle and Emma Taylor standing in successor Ancoats and Beswick, John Longsden standing down)
 * City Centre (Joan Davies standing in successor Deansgate, Kevin Peel standing down, Beth Knowles - elected 2014 - no longer on councillor list on council website and seems to work for Andy Burnham. Can find article saying she was planning to stand down - maybe went early?)
 * Gorton North (John Hughes and Afia Kamal standing in successor Gorton and Abbey Hey, Nilofar Siddiqi standing down)
 * Gorton South (Julie Reid standing in successor Gorton and Abbey Hey, Peter Cookson and Bernard Stone moving to Didsbury West and Levenshulme respectively)

In:
 * Ancoats and Beswick
 * Clayton and Openshaw
 * Deansgate
 * Gorton and Abbey Hey
 * Piccadilly

Other councillors standing down: Carl Austin-Behan (Burnage), Beth Marshall, Jon-Leigh Pritchard (both Crumpsall), Josie Teubler (Didsbury West), Amina Lone (Hulme), Chris Webb (Northenden), Andrew Fender (Old Moat).

Councillors moving: The aforementioned Cookson and Stone, plus Nasrin Ali (Levenshulme to Crumpsall). With all three, I am working on the assumption it's a move not someone with an identical name to a departing councillor!

Chorlton: councillor Sheila Newman passed away earlier in the year.
