[edit] Two pages?

There seems to be two pages called Michael Ball (singer), with a minor difference. One is at: Michael_Ball_(singer) and the other is at Michael_Ball_%28singer%29. The former has no image, the later does. The text on both pages appears to be identical. I don't know why this is, but I think its wrong. Nicgarner (talk) 14:49, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Looks like its already fixed, or it was a one time error, as I can't reproduce the error now. Nicgarner (talk) 14:52, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

"%28singer%29" is the same as "(singer)" in computer talk, so they both link to the same page. Snowman (talk) 15:04, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
