Double Fantasy won Album of the Year at the Grammys in 1982, not 1981. [1] 2A00:23C7:1104:F601:A1BE:310B:E1A0:5C81 Please correct ( talk) 09:28, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
I really don't see how this is debatable. Yes the grammys recognizes the accomplishments of musicians during the previous year; and that's why award show is held in February the following year and awarded in that year. Christopher Cross won Album of the Year in 1981. [2] You can't have 2 winners here.-- 2A00:23C7:1104:F601:A1BE:310B:E1A0:5C81 ( talk) 10:34, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

13:32, 25 July 2023 (UTC)Will also leave this here. (The Washington Post; January 13, 1982) "Recording stars Quincy Jones, Lionel Richie and John Lennon received the most nominations today for the 24th annual Grammy Awards -- the music industry's top honors." https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1982/01/13/richie-lennon-jones-lead-grammy-nominees/bc55f71b-e989-4ec0-af12-a3b2cb40a95a/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheMaster077 ( talk • contribs) 21:18, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
One of the reasons by the way the grammy source was unreliable is they said in the source [6] "A new wind was blowing in the music industry: MTV launched the previous year (Aug. 1, 1981)" and they listed this the 1981 Grammys? It's a simple mistake. That's why we use reliable sources instead. -- TheMaster077 ( talk) 21:25, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
He won it 1981 and was awarded that year. That's how the Grammy Award of the year works. They honour his achievements of the previous year or two, but he wins it the following year or two and is awarded. I can't change his article as that's not what the reliable sources state. -- TheMaster077 ( talk) 21:40, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
(The New York Times; Feb 26, 1981) https://www.nytimes.com/1981/02/26/arts/4-grammy-awards-won-by-christopher-cross.html "Mr. Cross, who called the evening a dream come true, ::won for record of the year" He won it in 1981, not in 1980. Please just forget the title of the award which is confusing you and read the year he won it. -- TheMaster077 ( talk) 22:07, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
The 24th Annual Grammy Awards were held on February 24, 1982, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. The event recognized the accomplishments of musicians during the past year to year and a half. Double Fantasy won Grammy Award for Album of the Year that year. Album of the Year is just a title, but they won the award in 1982. [7] Unless you can show me a reliable source that states otherwise, this should not be changed. -- TheMaster077 ( talk) 22:30, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
Further reading; Recording stars Quincy Jones, Lionel Richie and John Lennon received the most nominations today (Jan 13, 1982) [8] There is no way in your words "They won the 1981 award which aired February 1982" when they only began nominating in January 1982. They won the 1982 award for Grammy Album of the Year. Prove me wrong with a reliable source otherwise lets end this. -- TheMaster077 ( talk) 22:43, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
Suggestion: since the year is in dispute, can the statements be amended to instead mention the award was given at the 24th Grammy Awards instead? Echoedmyron ( talk) 22:45, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
Hello. Great article.
I was perplexed by this uncited addition to the section about Cynthia Lennon found here: /info/en/?search=John_Lennon#Cynthia_Lennon. Simply put, how does one verify that there is "no evidence"? The sentence also comes off as editorialized, or idealistic fan cruft to punctuate the preceding sentence about "Getting Better" being a song about overcoming Lennon's tendency for domestic violence. I suggest omitting this sentence altogether and leaving this paragraph to the facts as described by the sentences with citations. Kebw ( talk) 12:12, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
