Interesting Date of Death edit
he died exactly the day before april fools day
think about it, he even refers to april as prank month toward the beggining of his hoax-unvieling speech, and the whole hoax begins and ends in both april.
i dont know what im implying, but the idea of a faked death comes to mind.... Everything Inane
removed from French fraudsters category edit
I removed him from the French fraudsters category as it is much more an hoax than fraud (even if he sold many books). The fraud article state that "Many hoaxes are fraudulent, although those not made for personal gain are not technically frauds". --Madlozoz (talk) 20:34, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
- If I recall, the Catholic Church was who had the literature printed for Taxil, was it not? It would be fraud if the works were sold. Also, one can use the Catholic Encyclopedia, hosted at Google Books, as they have a page on Taxil. Encyclopedia Article on Taxil under Imposture--Craxd (talk) 16:13, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
Sources for this? edit
Is the history channel documentary the only source we have on this guy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.234.252.67 (talk) 15:57, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
- No, there are others, but because the transcript of the Parisian newspaper, which was carrying the press conference by Taxil, is posted on a Masonic website, someone will frown upon it. If someone could find this on another site, then it could be used. I say use it anyway, it is the truth.--Craxd (talk) 16:08, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
The Taxil hoax edit
I cleaned this section up, and added his association with AC de la Rive, along with adding the citations that were missing.--Craxd1 (talk) 21:13, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
