Line 372:

*''''Comment''' (Came here from the RFC listings) - The ""psycho-babble and satanic" and other descriptors should be fully attributed to the sources that made these comments for NPOV reasons, and only if these sources are reliable. Some books have their supporters and detractors, and readers would like to know who these are. For example, that comment was made in a book by a Kenneth Boa (http://www.kenboa.org/), an evangelist author that may see this book as contrary to Christianity and hence sacrilegious. These comments should go in the "Reception" section if there is enough material for such a section, bun not on the lede, unless these descriptions have been made by a significant number of sources. - [[User:Cwobeel|<span style="color:#339966">Cwobeel</span>]] [[User_talk:Cwobeel|<span style="font-size:80%">(talk)</span>]] 21:28, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

**the "psycho-babble and satanic" ''is'' Miller's analysis of how others have reacted to the book.-- [[User talk:TheRedPenOfDoom|<span style="color:red;;;">TRPoD <small>aka The Red Pen of Doom</small></span>]] 22:38, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

***The passage in Miller reads, "'''Among its critics from both religious and secular perspectives''', ACIM is regarded as everything from a satanic seduction to an artifact of New Age psychobabble" (my emphasis).

*'''Comment''' Cwobeel's advice above is sound. As for publishing figures, I would quote Miller and the publisher (who say that their figure includes translations), and attribute both in the text. Easy. [[User:Jayen466|Andreas]] <small>[[User_Talk:Jayen466|<font color=" #FFBF00">[[User_Talk:Jayen466|JN]]</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Jayen466|466]]</small> 14:08, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
