Talk:History of vampire lore

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Okay, so theres my first 'article'. Its not exactly the history of vampirism, but its still good, at least I think...User:Darklestat

It's okay, though a little too much unneccesary non-vampire related background info. Also, the title was off: this article is a history of Vampire lore, not a history of Vampirism: Vampirism is a term that includes the activities of faux mortal wanna-be vampires who drink blood, wear dark clothes, and have convinced themselves that they are vampires. Vampirism would also include various blood-drinking customs among various cultures. Alexander 007 20:46, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sources and editing

[edit]

This article is in dire need of citations to support its many claims. Of course a good portion of it needs to be edited out as irrelevant. It comes off sounding more like a school paper than an sncyclopedia article (in which case,the lack of sources is doubly inexcusible).

But then I also think it shouldn;t have been its own article anyway, as that's what Vampire is for. Hence the merge tags I added earlier. I'd go through here and fix errors/capitalization problems, etc., but since any relevant points here should be in the other article I'd rather not tackle those without a merge, as much of this one should disappear during merging.

Yup, I agreed with the merge from when I first came across this article. It should be noted though that the Vampire article itself is not very well-knit and misses a lot of info. I'm going to focus on improving Vampire. Alexander 007 14:27, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Merge? Are you insane? That page is already nearing a need for refactoring. I suggest we merge some of that content into here, or maybe delete this page and refactor it. Falcon June 29, 2005 20:16 (UTC)
