Summary

I don't have the book in front of me, but isn't the summary here the same summary from the back of the book? Can we get a better one that is perhaps not copyrighted (not sure how that works with jacket summaries) Pnkrockr 18:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

“In around 2020…”

Should there be some mention of the Sylvia Browne passage that the internet has misattributed to this book? —151.132.206.250 (talk) 15:55, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please uncapitalize the C in “coronavirus disease 2019”. Also, I don’t think the term takes a definite article. 96.8.24.95 (talk) 01:33, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the section, so the request is now moot anyway. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 03:42, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just no

In anticipation of the inevitable objection to my removal, I'll just say that especially for such a bare-bones article, this was giving horribly undue weight to nonsensical, unattributed "speculation". What was there was already too credulous, especially considering that every source was just saying something along the lines of "no, of course it's just a coincidence". I could probably say more, but c'mon people. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 04:08, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Couldn't agree more.Jschnur (talk) 01:53, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to object on the grounds of… but then I realized I couldn’t think of any. Good call. Especially when the source of the other excerpt involved in the madness, End of Days (book), doesn’t even have an article. —96.8.24.95 (talk) 03:22, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just YES. The article is simple but the link with covid is the only real thing to remember. So it's baseless to think that this link is not important. The vast public was not even aware about this book. So it is noticeable atleast and maybe the only reason to remember it. No to censorship. The paragraph was not undue, it discuss about the real content of the book, so it is useful, not 'speculation'.62.11.3.98 (talk) 00:22, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is no link; that's the point. I used "speculation" because that was the exact wording that was present in the article, yet it was attributed to no one. Look at the graph of pageviews I just added at the top. Despite feverish (pun intended) brief activity, that's already gone and we're back to normal views for this thing. Per WP:TENYEARTEST, this isn't worth including. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 00:55, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to create a List of accidental predictions or something, go for it, and be prepared to argue for its existence. This article is about the book. It is not about fake prophecies or accidents of history. —151.132.206.250 (talk) 17:43, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
