Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
The names of the original members, present during the band's heyday, were removed from the opening paragraph by an anonymous user in 2017, with no explanation (https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Clap_Your_Hands_Say_Yeah&diff=prev&oldid=767019730). While the band is now the musical project of Alec Ounsworth, this wasn't the case during key years of its history. It's misleading to define the band as AO's project just because he is the sole remaining member.Tag: Visual edit

Witchcraft
Restored what I take to be an uncontroversial edit. If you don't agree with my edits, that's fine, but please, consider them in detail, read my justifications, and feel free to edit them. I ask you not to simply press a button to revert a whole cluster of edits because you don't like one of them, please. I look forward to collaborating with everyone civilly on this article.Tags: RevertedVisual edit

Witchcraft
I thought 'some' was acceptable since it is immediately clarified which traditions, but I can understand the hesitation. I've changed this to 'most', since that is surely uncontroversial. My previous edit summary explains the need for the other changes (e.g., respecting the use/mention distinction, and placing a little more emphasis on the word 'woman'). To clarify: "Boston" is a six-word, Boston is a city. "Boston means..." is silly; so is "Witchcraft means".Tags: RevertedVisual edit

Witchcraft
This rewording avoids some philosophical sloppiness ("witchcraft" is a word, but witchcraft is strictly speaking not a word but a practice, so "Witchcraft means..." is malformed). "According to some traditions" is more precise than "traditionally". The word 'woman' deserved a bit more emphasis. It's not just 'evil beings' but 'evil supernatural beings'.Tags: RevertedVisual edit
