Number of siblings

The page currently states: "One of ten siblings, Victor had eight brothers and a sister," and references a 1928 piece from the Derby Daily Telegraph on the death of his father. The first problem is that that report actually states the late bishop, "had six sons," but the page names seven, plus Victor himself, making eight. However, the names listed include "Sydney" and "Leopold." Reference to an earlier version, which included birth and death dates for the siblings, has them as "Sydney (born circa 1884)" and "Leopold McLaglen (1884-1951)." In fact, these are the same person, Sydney Temple Leopold McLaglen, born in mid-1884. So that means that Victor was one of nine siblings, and one of eight brothers.

Inflation

"In 1935, McLaglen spent a reported 40,000ドル (equal to 888,932ドル today)..."

No, it's equal to 927,355ドル.88 "today". Why write "today" in an encyclopedia?
