  • t: “The Book of Halloween” remains one of the most detailed explorations of Halloween. Read it on Wikisource! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Edna_Kelley
  • f/g: Now that the excitement of Halloween has subsided, do you find yourself wondering where the holiday came from? Originally published in 1919, Ruth Edna Kelley’s “The Book of Halloween” still remains one of the best explorations of the origins of Halloween. From the coming of Christianity to Europe, to the mysterious year-end rites of the ancient Celts, Halloween’s history is deep and fascinating.

I'm uncomfortable enough with this one to block it getting on SM. I don't think we should make that claim unless we're completely convinced it is accurate. I think there's no citation on this easily findable, but happy if I'm wrong. Matthew (WMF) (talk) 01:15, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I also don't trust this one. It's based on a single source and one that refers to a book that we can't necessarily see easily. I would suggest picking another mis-conception or another topic. Matthew (WMF) (talk) 01:15, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
