- No, you didn't do the redirect right, but I have fixed it. You can see how I have done it, or WP:REDIRECT explains. JohnCD (talk) 17:40, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- Not an initial V, but a name "Vuia." I replied on The Long Tone's talk page. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:56, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- You are right, but I could swear it was "Buia" when I started this morning. I made the edit to monoplane and did not actually type in the name, but only wikified it and got a red link. I'm not making this up. I don't know if Britannica corrected it. Can't explain. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:05, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- Looking at the Britannica daily e-mail, apparently I was wrong. I apologize for the error. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:37, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
