Removing sourced material.
editSomeone removed my sourced material regarding Anita's vocal type, which is contralto. I cited three reliable sources and someone removed them and reclassified her as a mezzo-soprano without citing any sources. I will re-cite my sources and re-classify her back to contralto.
One of my sources even quotes her as classifying herself as a contralto, so you can't get any more reliable than that:
"'The register of my voice was different,' Baker said recently. 'The majority of (woman) singers are in like a soprano or mezzo-soprano area. After years of hearing that type of voice on the radio, to hear a contralto, people`s ears just perked up.'--Chicago Tribune [1] [2] [3]FreeSpirit80 (talk) 00:07, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- Once again, someone has changed the information while totally ignoring my three cited sources. She is, in fact, a contralto with a three octave extension. Ranges do overlap. If you want to change the information or challenge it, you must provide reliable sources and it must form a consensus.FreeSpirit80 (talk) FreeSpirit80 (talk) 23:55, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
