Orphaned references in Rhoda Vava Mary Lecky Pike[edit]

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 Rhoda Vava Mary Lecky Pike'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 "NYTObit":

From Maxime de la Falaise: Fox, Margalit (1 May 2009). "Maxime de la Falaise, model, Designer and Muse, Is Dead at 86". The New York Times. Retrieved 2 May 2009.

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 ⚡ 15:40, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is new enough and long enough. The article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. I can't find the hook facts in the source given, which mentions fish stew for roses, but not the other details. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:30, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Cwmhiraeth: oops, its a fair cop, thanks, I have corrected the ref! Victuallers (talk) 15:41, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. This nomination is now good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:29, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
