Links incorrect for both of the two "Michael Segal" entries

There are two "Michael Segal" entries, and both of them have link ("target") mistakes.

I am not familiar with either "Michael Segal", but there are some obvious issues.

For one thing, the two entries say:

• Michael Segal, Canadian neurologist
• Michael Segal (b. 1972), Israeli Bible scholar

which "suggests" that they are not both talking about the same person. However, the hyperlinks for both of those two entries, both simply point to the article about Michael Segal -- who was born in 1972, but is a computer scientist.

So, Michael Segal -- the one who was born in 1972 -- should probably be listed here as a computer scientist; or, if he really is (also) a bible scholar, then he could be listed as both. (However, the article about Michael Segal doesn't say anything that suggests that he is "also" a bible scholar; so I don't know where that [part about "Israeli Bible scholar"] came from; it might be bogus, or it might be about a third "Michael Segal" -- whether notable enough for an entry here, or otherwise.)

As for the "Canadian neurologist", I think the target of the hyperlink should be changed. Is it customary to anticipate an eventual article about the person, and insert a link such as "Michael Segal (neurologist)" even if that would (for now) cause the link to be red? If not, then maybe that entry should (for now) have "no" link.

IMHO, even if the "neurologist" Michael Segal -- (who is shown as "Canadian") -- is the same person as the Michael Segal (b. 1972) who is a computer scientist, it is still an error to have two separate entries for him (having identical hyperlinks that both point to the same article).

Just my 0.02. Any advice? Thanks, --Mike Schwartz (talk) 05:20, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Brazilian drama and Hollywood

There was a widely known actress in Brazil named Beatriz Seagall. She was active in a large number of TV soap operas and any Brazilian 30 years of age above knows who she was. Also, the infamous Hollywood star Steven Seagal, who needs no introduction from me. It seems to me that both changed the spelling of their names (Segall and Seagal) for artistic purposes. In any case, just a suggestion! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.211.110.114 (talk) 21:03, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
