@Skyerise: I'm reviewing this. The article seems mostly good but I was concerned if you were relying on Crowley's primary source for the hook fact. However, it is Hymenaeus Beta's note that stated Liber OZ has the "controversial" assertion of the right to commit tyrannicide, right? I was wondering if HB actually used the word controversial in the writing; otherwise we'd probably need to remove the word from the hook. BorgQueen (talk) 01:39, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@BorgQueen: oops, I'd meant to have both Readdy and HB. Added the quote from Readdy above. It's Readdy that calls it controversial, and HB that confirms Crowley himself called it a "safeguard", this is not just an interpretation made by his biographers.

Overall: I don't know how well the subject matter will be received by those unfamiliar with Crowley or the occult in general, but the nomination meets the DYK requirements. BorgQueen (talk) 02:58, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Someone changed this heading, but this is the author's stated intent. quoted in the last paragraph of the history section. We would need sources that show that he intended it to be applied more generally than he stated, or that his modern-day followers interpret it more broadly, to change the heading. I am open to this change, just so long as the necessary text and citations needed to support the new heading are provided. Skyerise (talk) 08:46, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mosi Nuru: That's your opinion. Most of the length is due to giving the historical context, which is essential. Also, when two editors disagree, policy says the article stays as it was. See WP:BRD. If you make a bold edit, and are reverted, then unless there is a consensus for change, the article is maintained as is was. You are also not permitted to canvass other editors to build a consensus, but typically must wait for editors already watching the article to respond. I get that you apparently don't like the topic, but you are only here to hound me due to a disagreement elsewhere. And as you have been informed, that's prohibited behavior which interfere with the work of other editors. Skyerise (talk) 20:33, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"you are only here to hound me due to a disagreement elsewhere" - I wish you would stop accusing me of bad faith, it does not help the make the article better.
The headings follow the categories from Crowley's own description, quoted at the end of the history section: ""five sections: moral, bodily, mental, sexual, and the safeguard tyrannicide...". If you want to change them, you must show a consensus to do so. Thanks. Skyerise (talk) 20:56, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
