467: 446: 1879:"Studies on witchcraft in colonial Africa in general and Zambia in particular have focused on explaining the phenomenon in terms of the primitiveness of the practice and its practitioners.1 Most probably, this was done in order to justify colonialism in the area. During this era, the western world considered itself duty bound to carry the burden of ‘civilizing’ Africans through the introduction of western civilization, which in essence meant Africans embracing European lifestyles and abandoning their indigenous culture and belief systems, including witchcraft, replacing it with Christianity." 653: 632: 2025:. The concern of editors who add the word "alleged" in this place is that if we were not to add it, we would be saying that magic is real. It's literally a forced disclaimer. A better mockup analogy with the God article sentence than the one you've made would be: "In monotheistic thought, God is usually viewed as the alleged supreme being, alleged creator, and principal object of faith." We must allegedly add "alleged" before "supreme being" and "creator" because otherwise we would be saying that there really is a supreme being and a creator. — 413: 1052: 1677: 292: 1596: 1368: 1073: 1347: 1174: 1153: 952: 857: 962: 931: 836: 556: 1546: 535: 262: 1263: 1242: 1964:
need to say something like: "According to certain worldviews, witchcraft is...." There is a temptation to hedge even further, to distance the encyclopedia from any implication that witchcraft is real, by adding an adverb like "allegedly". But this actually makes the statement incorrect. When you write, "As most commonly understood in worldview X, ," the words after the comma describe the world according to that worldview.

Subjects not specifically covered in other articles must be included here, including presence in folklore and variation between cultures/regions.

I know there's been a lot of discussion of the lede, so please forgive me if this is out of turn, but to my mind, the opening sentence involves a mistake: "Witchcraft, as most commonly understood in both historical and present-day communities, is the use of alleged supernatural powers of magic." When

It is a bit understandable why someone added 'allegedly'. I think we can all agree that part of the challenge of getting this right is that we want to describe and define something that only exists according to certain worldviews, without saying on behalf of Knowledge that this thing is real. So we

This is wild. I was told this was supposed to be unbiased. Saying witches have intent to harm people is very skewed. Witches basically served as nurses and midwives at one time. They kept communities healthy and were demonized for it by Christian’s who wanted power. I’m just asking you to make the

I tend to agree with Malibu Sapphire, Red Rock Canyon, and Cursed Peace that "the alleged use" makes more sense than "the use of alleged" because that way it covers both people who genuinely believe to be using "alleged" supernatural powers and those who are falsely alleged to use supernatural

I agree that "the alleged use" is better than "the use of alleged", so I'll go ahead and be bold and make that change. I don't think the existence of the RFC should tie us down in procedural hurdles, but if anyone has a substantial objection, they can feel free to revert.
