over linking

there's a caption to a photo wikilinked to area 51, and in the following paragraph there is a second link also to area fifty one.

that should be changed. also, for housekeeping: the current photo caption in the lede, "part of the area fifty one conspiracies" is non-encyclopedic. currently, the heading is starting to look similar to a marketing flyer. Saintstephen000 (talk)
