wrong redirect

the text "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" in the first paragraph wrongly redirects to "Three wise monkeys" and not the actual page for the film. 110.138.80.92 (talk) 03:11, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for spotting the error. The correction has been made. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 03:49, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Also"

"He was known mainly for his comedic roles, but also for his portrayal of Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)."

I confess that I'm rather drunk at the moment, but still: I am not altogether sure this is an entirely appropriate use of the word "also." 184.89.44.198 (talk) 04:29, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
