Title

A Knight Bachelor is different from a KBE (Knight Commander). A Knight Bachelor is not in the Order of the British Empire. So his title is Sir Ian McKellen CH CBE. BritFlicks1 (talk) 14:27, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Contradiction

• "With a career spanning more than seven decades"
• "McKellen made his stage debut in 1961"

2024-1961=63

In case you are talking about calendar decades:

1. Stop misleading readers.
2. Why "more than seven decades"? --2003:EA:E703:88A5:20C6:4BCF:C773:355D (talk) 20:52, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
