[edit] Accusations of anthropomancy

Tread carefully here. Be aware that false accusations of human sacrifice were a standard technique in the ancient world (Greece, Rome, etc.) for demonising foreigners. Accusations of anthropomancy were, in using today's terms, by-and-large part of racist vocabulary. Don't always fall for it. 82.44.82.167 (talk) 16:34, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

I would prefer that the Julian the Apsotate citation remains until we get a source for the Anthopomancy reference. If you do a google search for anthopomancy about 70% of the sites all give the Julian the Apostate story of human sacrifice. It would be better if it remained until we get more material one way or another. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.170.24.210 (talk) 19:09, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

"I would prefer that the Julian the Apsotate citation remains until we get a source for the Anthopomancy reference." What? Are you asking to keep an unreferenced statement until someone will find a reference for it? It should be the opposite: when you find a good source come and insert the citation... --Sjappé (talk) 20:39, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

There must be a reference somewhere or else the google search wouldnt list Julian's use of anthopomancy in the top ten. Thats why it should remain. (but obviously with the dispute over the origin of the story. Also Sjappe i dont think you have the place to remove edits when you dont even have the courage to register has a Wikipedia user and you havent identified you expertise on the matter. I am reinserting it until there is materal one way or another. If you dispute this register with Wikipedia and make your complaint official. This will help to get more editors to search out for a decent reference.--Redblossom (talk) 15:03, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

What? The burden of the proof is on you, who are inserting the text without reference, not on me. Let me know where to fill an official complaint, but for the time being I shall remove the text. --Sjappé (talk) 19:30, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
