Article status, possible merge

[edit]

This article's been on my watchlist for an age. As far as I can foresee, it's going nowhere. Shall we not merge it somewhere? To the main article on vodoun perhaps? QuartierLatin1968 El bien mas preciado es la libertad 05:07, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Possible sources for potential overhaul

[edit]

Making a note of these so I don't have to find them later, or so someone else can use them:

I think that the Oungan page is still worth a significant edit. I only fixed some misspellings. Many Vodou terms have been spelled in different ways over the years. Even canonical texts like Métraux's "Voodoo in Haiti" (1959)--still assigned to students at the School of Ethnology at the State University of Haiti in Port-au-Prince--are not good sources for correct spelling. A lot of older spellings are based on French renderings of Haitian Creole terms. Any ways, there are great texts that have been published or reissued in the last fifteen years about Vodou in Haiti and its diaspora that could help editors rehaul this page. I think that it will be a lot of work, but worth the effort. Of the authors above, Brodwin and Hurston are respected and renowned. For direction on where to take this page, the Haitian Vodou Wikipedia page has an extensive bibliography.Kokobe1 (talk) 02:31, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
