Problems with the British Columbia: From the Earliest Times to the Present. Vol. II citation

I have some notes about this citation:

Howay, Frederic William; Scholefield, Ethelbert Olaf Stuart (1914). McBride, Richard (ed.). British Columbia: From the Earliest Times to the Present. Vol. II (1st ed.). Vancouver, Canada: S.J. Clarke Publishing Company. doi:10.14288/1.0388847. ISBN 9781340270537. OCLC 647473053. Archived from the original (PDF) on 7 March 2020. Retrieved 14 June 2021 – via UBC Library (University of British Columbia).

There are so many issues that I am detailing them here before I fix all of them.

The citation is duplicated when it should have been consolidated with a named footnote.
The absence of |url-status=live causes the template to assume it is a dead link when it is live.
The url, archive-url, & doi all point to a "A prospectus for their proposed four-volume history" & not the actual work.
According to Amazon, the ISBN points to British Columbia From the Earliest Times to the Present: 1, pt.1, not Vol. II. I could not find the ISBN at Worldcat.
The oclc parameter, OCLC 647473053, does point at the correct multi-volume set. When I drill down on the HathiTrust Digital Library, Full view, open Full view v.2, then take a look at the title page, only Frederic William Howay is listed as an author, not Scholefield.
Finally, no page number is listed for the second use of the citation.

I intend to correct this with the following:

{{sfn |Howay |1914 |pp=[https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89061993564&seq=482&view=2up 301–306]}}
{{sfn |Howay |1914 |p={{page needed|date=January 2024}}}}

{{cite book |last1=Howay |first=Frederic William. |author-link=Frederic William Howay |title=British Columbia: From the Earliest Times to the Present |volume=2 |edition=1st |publisher=S.J. Clarke Pub. Co |publication-place=Vancouver |year=1914 |oclc=682270302 |url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89061993564 |via=HathiTrust}} Reprinted in 2014 as {{ISBN|978-0-659-09797-2}} ({{OCLC|1089544991}})

Full citations of other books

Since we now have a sources section, I will start using {{sfn}} & moving the full citations for the books into it since these are often longer than the other footnotes. Peaceray (talk) 19:41, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
