Correction message sent to wiki-en list

It is not clear to me if I have directed this message to the correct e-mail address. If not, I hope you can help me to fordward it to the correct place.

I read your biography on Lale ANDERSEN, and found an important incorrect information.

Wikipedia says: "She married Rolf Libermann who was Jewish, and lived with him for the rest of her life."

This information is not correct, because Lale Andersen was married to someone else:

"... at age 17 she married the Worpswede painter Paul Ernst Wilke. In 1931, now the mother of three children, she left her husband to make her own way in Berlin."

Rolf Libermann (or Liebermann (1910 - 1999). http://www.universaledition.com/truman/en_templates/view.php3?f_id=164&spr=en

Here you can see the relationship between Lale Andersen and Rolf Liebermann: http://www.sikorski.de/en/frameloader.html?frame=http%3A//www.sikorski.de/composers/composer52.html

"When one glances back to the early 1930s, one encounters the Swiss-born composer as a composer of chansons and collaborator in cabaret events who made the artistic acquaintance of Liselotte Wilke, the later legendary Lale Andersen."

Lale Andersen and Rolf Liebermann: http://www.schulla.com/covergalerie/DATEN/L/LALE%20ANDERSEN/Lale%20Andersen.htm

"Hier berichtet sie über ihre erste Begegnung mit Rolf Liebermann." .............. "Ich traf ihn nicht nur einmal. Ich traf ihn oft. Wo immer in den letzten Jahren ein musikalisches Ereignis in der Luft lag, war auch er: Rolf Liebermann." .............. "Mit Göndi, seiner reizenden, jungenhaften Frau, ist Rolf Liebermann heute überall zu Hause, wo Musikbesessenheit, Gastlichkeit und Humor Menschen zusammenführt."

"Am 27. März 1922 heiratet sie den Maler Paul Ernst Wilke. Zwischen 1924 und 1929 werden drei Kinder geboren. Björn, Carmen-Litta und Michael. 1931 wird Lieselotte Wilke geschieden." ...................... "1933 begegnet sie Rolf Liebermann, mit dem sie eine intensive Liebes- und Arbeitsbeziehung sowie eine lebenslängliche Freundschaft verbindet."

I added some of the citations, and removed the contested sentance, which is:

"She married Rolf Libermann who was Jewish, and lived with him for the rest of her life. Because of her marriage to Liberman she was persecuted by the Nazi regime."

Sorry Sam, I hadn't seen this... I was in the process of rewriting this and somehow I didn't even get an edit conflict when I saved. Anyway, I think it's correct now, and adequately sourced, too :-) Now someone should improve that Rolf Liebermann article! Lupo 12:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Spelling

it says AndersOn on Internet Archive. http://www.archive.org/details/LaleAnderson-91-100 Which is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.103.34.170 (talk) 20:55, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Good work

Having read through this, with the exception of the sources, and having assessed this for Project Germany, I feel this is an excellent and well-written article indeed; congratulations! Tropical wind (talk) 13:46, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Cause of Death

The German version of this page gives Andersen's cause of death as Liver Cancer though neither German nor English page cite any sources. Coolavokig (talk) 19:45, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Several of the external links included in the "References" no longer exist or cannot be accessed. It seems to me, that some updating is required by now. Alas, I do not have the time for it now. Perhaps later! Anyone interested in helping out? Thank you ever so much! --JeffDellbart (talk) 10:56, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

ESC participant deaths trivia

'Her death was the first among female Eurovision contestants and German-speaking Eurovision contestants and, following Jacques Pills and Jean-Paul Mauric, the third among Eurovision contestants in general; Mauric also appeared in Eurovision 1961.'

Really, do we need this? How is this info meaningful? What's next - the first green-eyed ESC contestant to die, or the third one whose zodiacal sign was Capricorn? ~2025-38000-28 (talk) 18:15, 22 December 2025 (UTC)
