As Goetia is a word of Greek origin, I'd imagine its original pronunciation to have been goi'tia, and hence its pronunciation in Modern English to be gee'sha. Still, a guide would be helpful -- anything to prevent the ignorant from saying goat-ia (as if it had something to do with goats!) Nuttyskin (talk) 17:37, 22 August 2023 (UTC) Reply
- I find this: "The correct pronunciation of goetia is goh-eh-tee-ah. Pronunciation of Latin words, especially those taken from Greek that weren't used by the Roman, are difficult to trace, and this is the case with goetia. As a consequence, many people pronounce goetia as go-eh-sha, but this is probably a pronunciation based on how the sequence "tia" is usually pronounced in English. The pronunciation of the "tia" sequence in Classical Latin is tee-ahm, for example in the word etiam, which is pronounced eh-tee-ahm." Skyerise (talk) 17:42, 22 August 2023 (UTC) Reply

Most of the text in the "history of grimoires" section is just rephrased from the intro and expanded a little. Maybe it would be better to cut the stuff from the intro and just save it all for "history of grimoires"? WiseAdam (talk) 14:33, 10 January 2024 (UTC) Reply
- No, because its needed for context here. Summarizing a portion of another article's relevant content for context is not unusual. See WP:SUMMARYSTYLE. Skyerise (talk) 00:43, 24 February 2024 (UTC) Reply
Greeting! I've read this wonderful article and decided to translate it in Ukrainian so more people can read about it. However I've stumbled upon a problem with references to the source, because every citation says "Script error: Function "harvard_core" does not exist."
Can someone please tell me about this script and how can I implement it in Ukrainian Wikipedia so the citations are properly displayed?
Thanks in advance! Taxfrest (talk) 11:00, 15 June 2024 (UTC) Reply
- @Taxfrest: here might be a place to start Template:Citation/core and/or Module:Citation/CS1. I've never really looked too deeply into how the citation templates are supported... Skyerise (talk) 11:58, 15 June 2024 (UTC) Reply

Sorcery (goetia) → Goetia – Goetia may be a subtopic of Sorcery, but it is only part of the topic and has its own unambigious name, Goetia. Diclosure: I created the article at this title, not sure what I was thinking. Skyerise (talk) 02:47, 5 March 2025 (UTC) Reply
- Support per nomination. Since the word already redirects here, and you've determined that your initial placement was incorrect, why not just move the page (probably non-controversial). Randy Kryn (talk) 12:45, 5 March 2025 (UTC) Reply
- Because I don't have the ability to delete the redirect and based on past moves I've made, can't assume it's not controversial. Also, a history merge is probably in order as there was content at the destination at one time. I don't mind waiting for support. Skyerise (talk) 23:01, 6 March 2025 (UTC) Reply
- Support per nom. I have no particular expertise in this topic but the reasoning is sound. -- Avocado (talk) 13:05, 7 March 2025 (UTC) Reply
Concerns were raised previously about AI-generated content in this article. This is a procedural talk page section to discuss it. There is no need to ping me in response. Read WP:AISIGNS for more information for why this is tagged; however, note that fixing the issue requires more than just removing the superficial signs. Rationale: 2023 edits such as these and other edits post-2022 by this user, some of many many (disclosed elsewhere) AI edits by them, often with problems Gnomingstuff (talk) 17:22, 16 June 2026 (UTC) Reply
