Comments

In spite of the negative criticisms noted in the “Criticism” section, I would like to point out that though the criticism that were mentioned there were notable, it is hard to balance those minimum number of complaints with the 14,306 plus readings that presumably had some merit. Perhaps a better overall analysis is warranted.

With all due respect, a lot here depends upon just who might be doing the presuming. Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 19:06, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

hi, just asking for clarification. paraphrasing: hard to balance a minimum amount of complaints by wikipedia skeptics with 14,306 successful readings by Cayce? Or, "a small number of complaints by Cayce believers against a large amount of readings of the evidence by people who interpret Cayce as being a fake?

I might be the only one who didn't understand, so thanks for your patience. MikiBishop (talk) 19:58, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

I’m shocked that nobody mentions Edgar Cayce’s “ Messiah” prophecies, since these were so influential in keeping a compromised J. Edgar Hoover in office as FBI Director (and led him to order, with Nixon’s approval, the assassination of Mrs. Dorothy Wetzel Hunt, Michele Clark, and Rep. George Collins), in driving the Hoov’s unconstitutional persecution of MLK, Malcolm X, and other Civil Rights leaders, and ultimately led George HW Bush and Son (with help from John L. Turner Yale ‘95 and others) to groom and install Barack Obama as President so they could put him on the one-cent coin. Somebody should consult and quote the essay on this topic by Admiral Henry Louis Gates Jr. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.74.129.186 (talk) 07:57, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

What is the correct story re: "Pit" card game?

The article gives two different versions re: the "Pit" card game. What is the correct story?:

"1893–1912: Kentucky period In May 1902, ... He invented Pit (or Board of Trade), a card game which simulated wheat-market trading. The game became popular, but when he sent the idea to a game company it copyrighted it and he received no royalties... "1912–1923: Selma period ... He invented Pit, a card game based on commodities trading at the Chicago Board of Trade, to help raise money; the game is still sold today." Bhami (talk) Bhami (talk) 02:29, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

I deleted the second iteration because the game was first marketed in 1904, during the "1893-1912" era, and hence too early for the "1912-1923" era. Catherineyronwode (talk) 17:39, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Paul Solomon another sleeping phrophet.

Maybe an article should be written about him for wiki. He wrote several books.

Put on your writing cap, research him and add sources and, whoola, you have a Misplaced Pages article (even if short, which is called a stub). Randy Kryn (talk) 12:54, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
