Broadway error[edit]

@Entertainment Buff and Lord Cornwallis I discovered an error that was introduced by the two of you back in 2018 and 2019. Entertainment Buff added the IBDB listing to the page, and Cornwallis later edited the prose to reflect the external link. However, the IBDB listing is not about this particular actress. The Broadway actress was Lottie Williams, actress born 1866 who was black, and the shows on the IBDB list are all-black cast shows from the Bert Williams and George Walker company. Please be careful not to assume an IBDB (or IMDb) listing is about a particular person just because they have the same name. Check secondary sources about the subject to confirm that the credits in IBDB/IMDb are indeed part of the subject's performance history. This error was on the page for over five years...4meter4 (talk) 14:55, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
