In the willy wonka section it mentions that he is an owner of a "Candy" factory. This term is never used in the book, it is always reffered to as a chocolate factory. silly billy piggy 17:11, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
There's already a page for Arthur Slugworth that goes into some detail about his various incarnations in film. Either that should be merged into this article, or, since his transformations between adaptions were quite notable, limit this to a summary of his novel character, and indicate that for the movie adaptations, the reader should examine the main Arthur Slugworth page.

Is it worth noting that a veruca is a type of wart? Surely Dahl would have that in mind when he named the character. Of lesser importance, is it worth noting that a pop band took the name Veruca Salt? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.92.180.246 ( talk) 18:01, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Chapter 14- "My dear Veruca! How do you do? What a pleasure this is! You do have an interesting name, don't you? I always thought that a veruca was a sort of wart that you got on the sole of your foot! But I must be wrong, mustn't I?"
Has anyone editing this page actually read Willy Wonka in the last 20 years? Several important characters are missing. There were five children (10 in one of the original storylines per the official Dahl site) who found tickets. Much is missing from this page. A good kid lit prof needs to get ahold of it and flesh it out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.167.159.136 ( talk) 15:59, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
The first graf in Veruca's section refers to squirrels in the 2005 film and the second graf states that the squirrels are replaced by geese in the 1971 film. Since the 1971 film most likely preceded the 2005 film, why wouldn't it read that the squirrels replaced the geese? Perhaps the grafs should be swapped or, more simply, the word "replaced" should be replaced? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:246:0:ED97:D076:9ED4:29D:80E8 ( talk) 13:27, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
I think it would be appropriate to differentiate between characther details taken from the original book and those coming out of one of the films. I'm thinking of Violet's being from Atlanta and her many trophies. PurpleChez ( talk) 18:28, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

"His nationality is never explicitly stated, but in the 1971 film, he speaks with an American accent, and in the 2005 film, he speaks with an English accent," declares the description. "...In this version,... Charlie explains that the family needs the money now...." But which version is that, the 1971 film adaptation or the 2005? Mucketymuck ( talk) 05:26, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Late in the article, the unsourced statement appears, “When Nestlé created its interpretation of Wonka's world to sell chocolate bars under the name ‘Wonka’, they released a number of downloadable flash games…” This cannot be true. Nestle created the Wonka brand in 1974 in conjunction with the re-release of the 1971 film. Adobe Flash wouldn’t be invented for another 22 years. The statement requires clarification and a source citation. 2603:9001:4500:1C09:4D96:E28A:86CB:C6A7 ( talk) 11:29, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
