I delinked Karl Albert as the wrong guy. Here is data on the artist KA for the enterprising editor to start a new article: http://www.karlalbert.net/ --S. Rich (talk) 00:43, 12 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Where was he born? edit

Was he born in the South African Republic? The article used to say he was born in South Africa, which would seem to mean that. However often people use the term ahistorically, so he could have also been born in the Orange Free State, Cape Colony or Colony of Natal. In fact there might be a few other places he could have been born in 1891 that later merged to those 4 places which merged in 1910 to form South Africa. We need more information. The sourcing we have seems to lack such.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:40, 30 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Johnpacklambert: I found one source that I tend to trust. It looks like South Africa is where he was born. --The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 02:28, 2 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • South Africa as we know it was formed in 1910. To use such a term before that year is anachronistic.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:46, 2 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
