Book.... edit

...called The Dark Sacrement, ISBN 978-0-06-123817-8. Says that Ed Warren is the world's only lay demonologist to be trained by the Vatican. Book was published/Copyrighted in 2007. Can this be used as a source? Nuclear Sergeant (talk) 04:49, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

The book talks about some of the worst demonic possession incidents and mentions that Ed Warren was indeed trained as a lay demonologist by the Vatican.Nuclear Sergeant (talk) 05:07, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
The referral is in some kind of Appendix. Nuclear Sergeant (talk) 05:56, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
This book? No, it's not a WP:RS for factual data. Even though published by Harper-Collins, the author is definitely pushing fringe beliefs. - LuckyLouie (talk) 13:50, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Might be better to take this the wp:rsn, it does not look like an RS. Slatersteven (talk) 13:52, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

The question would be, is this book a reliable source for the fact that Ed Warren was the world's only lay demonologist to be trained by the Vatican? Certainly such a claim, if true, would be verifiable in a number of reliable independent sources. - LuckyLouie (talk) 14:15, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Its also an extraordinary claim. Slatersteven (talk) 14:35, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Semi-protected edit request on 1 December 2023 edit

None of the three citations at the end of the second paragraph relate to the previous sentence. 2601:1C0:5082:DBF0:A0F4:699D:3880:DA6C (talk) 04:14, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Shadow311 (talk) 16:43, 7 December 2023 (UTC)Reply


Annabelle date edit

The source being cited gives a date of 1970. Unless I am reading it wrong. - LuckyLouie (talk) 14:27, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

This is why AGF sometimes failes, as I assumed whoever put that date in had read the source, and the IP did not say that the source said 1970. Slatersteven (talk) 14:33, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
I saw the date had also been fiddled with at the main Annabelle (doll) article, which you have thoughtfully fixed. - LuckyLouie (talk) 14:38, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yep as this time I checked the sources. Slatersteven (talk) 14:44, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

The Occult Museum edit

In regards to the Occult Museum section of the page, the date of the museum opening could be added and examples of the paranormal things (especially the Annabelle doll) can be added to this section. Also, additional information regarding the reasoning for the closing and the state of the shed now can be added. I intend to add this information to the page.
