Absurd overprecision

I started to fix this until I realized there were dozens of instances: the inflated dollar amounts are grotesquely overprecise e.g. $150,000 inflated to $2,580,863. Absurd. E Eng 03:53, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. It only took a minute or two. Feel free to adjust the parameters if you don't like my choices. Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 15:14, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Title

Why, in the title, is he 'Sir Charles Chaplin KBE'. Surely it should either be 'Sir Charles Chaplin', or 'Charles Chaplin KBE'. Otherwise it looks like he has a knighthood, and a KBE? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.83.244.101 (talk) 08:55, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

School photo of Chaplin

The school photo of Chaplin is captioned 1897. In the photo, he is apparently seven years old. However the article states that he was born in 1899! 2A02:C7B:303:9600:51E9:72DF:7D84:3E5D (talk) 20:28, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, the prose actually states he was born in 1889, so I don't see an issue here. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 23:21, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Charlie Chaplin ancestry

Okay, this is a "featured article", but it still has some controversial points:

1.Is some magazine article (which confuses Roma with Romanians grammatically) really a good source of info for Charlie Chaplin bioghraphie? And in general, is it true that his parents are of Romal origin, and not Irish travelers? Both groups are considered "Gypsies", but there are practically no Roma people in Britain, and according to statistics, basically all British Gypsies are from the local British population - Irish Travellers.
2. Why is there no other part of his parents' origin other than the gypsy part mentioned: there is an erroneous impression that his parents are 100% gypsies, but that's not what this source says. It says his parents are both HALF gypsies.109.254.254.152 (talk) 04:43, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
