There is a weird problem I saw. I first noticed this when the Viacom link wasn't working on the "Palace Video (UK)" page. If you take a look at this page, you will see how many pages have the now non-existent "Viacom (1952-2006)" page as a link, as that is now the "Viacom (1971-2006)" page. Additionally, both of the CBS Films and CBS Enterprises links in the background of the "Viacom (1971-2006)" page link to the more recent companies of the same name. The non-existent "Viacom (1952-2006)" page is also where the "CBS Films (original)" page redirects, and where it clearly says on the CBS Films page to visit that non-existent page for the earlier company of the same name. I'm guessing the reason why the Viacom page was moved is because they technically started to use the Viacom name in 1970 or 1971, plus the fact that the supposed original CBS Films logo was just in-credit text.
