Talk:Witch-cult hypothesis

RE: Magliocco
I believe that one of the "quotes" citing Magliocco's article "Who was Aradia?" (n.117) should be clarified since she does NOT use the blanket statement that "pagan themes are a minority amongst those accused of witchcraft" (I am paraphrasing. What she does say is that accounts of women accused of witchcraft who following in the train of Diana, etc. "constituted only a small minority."  The use of "pagan themes" implies that any paganism within the trials/ confession were a minority in addition to the Wild Hunt of Diana.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by WitchTokDILF (talk • contribs) 00:18, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

There should be a source with a consensus from academics on its discrediting
Simply saying it’s entirely discredited isn’t enough, even if you provide sources later on that discredit it. You can’t make blanket statement about a theory without a source that demonstrates that it’s universally discredited. One could say that it’s “widely discredited” and list the numerous sources from academics and that would be accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6010:1100:6026:7CB1:BB64:83A6:22E1 (talk) 17:09, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes we can. See WP:LEDE: the lead summarizes the article. Details and sources are supposed to be further down. --Hob Gadling (talk) 15:41, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I understand that. I don’t mean putting a source in the lead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6010:1100:6026:960:AB9C:1711:7054 (talk) 21:21, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The bias in this article is still not remedied, and there seems to be some kind of motivation to frame the content unjustly by the frequent moderators of the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6010:11F0:3C0:0:0:0:1071 (talk) 14:58, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
