I think you might have missed my point. Usually the Grammys celebrate works released in the previous year. So, the 8th were held in '66 and they honoured works released in '65, meaning she won the accolade in '66. Some sources say she won the Grammy in '65 and some say '66. "On 15 March 1966, Makeba and Belafonte received the Grammy Award for Best Folk Recording for An Evening with Belafonte/Makeba." That quoted statement is supported by two references which include both '65 and '66. Since the Grammys' website is the most reliable source here, how about we remove the '65 source (AllMusic) since it goes against the Grammys' archives? I'm currently working on the List of South African Grammy Award winners and nominees, so I need correspondence. dxneo (talk) 15:27, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
AllMusic is a database, and presumably links the award to the corresponding album, which was of course a 1965 release. I don't have a strong opinion as to whether we remove it or not, but it's nice to have a contemporary source establishing significance. Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:42, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Article claims she was baptized a "Protestant". I find that dubious. As far as I know there is no organized religious group with that name. Methodists, Lutherans, Episcopalians, Baptists, and on and on, well sure - but "Protestant"? No. I've been to a number of Christian baptisms of various denominations. In not one of them was their affiliation mentioned. She was almost certainly baptized a Christian. OTOH, from the little I understand, a birth attendant (sangoma) may baptize the neonate. In which case there may be no records of the baptism, especially from 1932.40.142.176.185 (talk) 08:21, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well it is in the source ... I've removed the "Protestant" bit, but "Christian" wouldn't be good enough as that includes the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches, among others, which definitely aren't Protestant. The article also says she went to a Methodist primary school, which may or may not be relevant here. Graham87 (talk) 15:00, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest I don't understand the problem - it refers to Protestantism, presumably reflecting the author's inability to find a more specific denomination - it's still more specific than "Christian". Outside the anglosphere I've seen the label applied quite frequently. Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:20, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
