• ... that in 1941 Aleister Crowley issued a manifesto of human rights which included the controversial assertion of the right to commit tyrannicide?

Source2: Readdy, K. (2018). One Truth and One Spirit: Aleister Crowley's Spiritual Legacy. United States: Ibis Press, p 46. "The most controversial phrase appears at the end: '...' implying a safeguard against tyranny and oppression, lest these rights not be recognized for all."

• Comment only – the hook is falling foul of WP:EGG. The link to tyrannicide should point to tyrannicide the way this is written. Schwede 66 04:19, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

  Point taken, I revised it. Skyerise (talk) 10:44, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

• @Skyerise: I'm reviewing this. The article seems mostly good but I was concerned if you were relying on Crowley's primary source for the hook fact. However, it is Hymenaeus Beta's note that stated Liber OZ has the "controversial" assertion of the right to commit tyrannicide, right? I was wondering if HB actually used the word controversial in the writing; otherwise we'd probably need to remove the word from the hook. BorgQueen (talk) 01:39, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

  @BorgQueen: oops, I'd meant to have both Readdy and HB. Added the quote from Readdy above. It's Readdy that calls it controversial, and HB that confirms Crowley himself called it a "safeguard", this is not just an interpretation made by his biographers.
