Check that the «See»-referrals do not appear in title records.	Rejected subject referenced by X title(s).	Search the subject record and delete its referral.
Check that the serial number of the referral is valid.	Referral X has no valid type.	Chercher la matière et supprimer le renvoi.
Check that the subject record does not contain a referral to a missing subject.	This subject does not exist.	Search the subject record and delete the referral.
Check that the subject record does not contain a referral with an invalid type.	Referral X has no valid type.	Chercher la matière et corriger le renvoi.
Check that the subject record does not contain a referral to itself.	This subject contains a referral to itself.	Search the subject record and modify its referral.
Check that the subject does not contain several referrals to the same subject.	This subject contains more than one referral to the same subject.	Search the subject and delete the superfluous referrals.

Check that the subject referred by another subject contains the cross-referral.	This subject has no cross-referral.	Regenerate the subjects.
