Olaus Wormius 1588-1654
editIn the section "Fictional history" Olaus Wormius (Ole Worm) year of death is put as 1624, but it is 1654. https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Ole_Worm 130.225.254.30 (talk) 06:27, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

The article claims Ole Worm died in 1624, which is not correct, he died 1654. 89.36.204.67 (talk) 17:49, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Fictional?
editYeah, it's definitely NOT fictional! You can read it. I have read it. Countless people have. Who writes these articles? 79.106.203.86 (talk) 07:32, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- The article makes it clear that:
- The "real" Necronomicon is fictional.
- There are multiple books - mostly compilations of short stories - that are also called the Necronomicon.
- There also exist hoaxes purporting to be either the original, or translations of the book.
- You've most likely read number #2, but possibly (although unlikely) also #3.
- That doesn't make the Necronomicon not fictional. Chaheel Riens (talk) 08:19, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

= Can someone link Joseph Curwen?
editOn the wiki for "the Case of Charles Dexter Ward" it's noted that Joseph Curwen was driven from Salem in 1692. This wiki explains "the burning of a certain Salem man's library in 1692" and explains it by referencing the salem witch trials - Can we reference the Charles Dexter Ward story instead? I'm blocked by the page's protected status from doing so myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.244.243.96 (talk) 19:27, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
