message: This article is poorly sourced. Many of its sections don't have any citations and looks more like original research. These sections need to be given proper citations in order to count them as credible and notable pieces of information as required on Wikipiedia.--Paleface Jack (talk) 21:38, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hello everyone, just wanted to say this before anyone goes around adding additional information to this article, all information MUST have proper citations from reliable sources BEFORE they are added to the article. Although it's appreciated that people are willing to expand this article by adding new information but for now more attention should be focused on adding proper citations to unsourced information and removing any information where no source can be found for it. Hopefully we can get this article cleaned up and expanded enough so that it meets Wikipiedia's guidelines and standards of a well developed and properly sourced article, and hopefully GA or FA status.--Paleface Jack (talk) 19:57, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Citation Notice: Please Read 

message: This article was categorised as :category:Folklore of the United States by state. All the other members of that category are about individual States so I changed the category to :category:American folklore legendary creatures. I then added :category:English legendary creatures but the article mentions lots of different countries. I suggest removing the country categories from this article, but didn't want to be too bold. Any objections? --Northernhenge (talk) 12:08, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Categories 

message: This article is undersourced and poorly developed, needing significant attention in order to bring it to its best capacity. That being said, there needs to be more information on the actual origins, traits, and the like rather then putting more attention on the various incarnations in different cultures. When I mean "traits" I'm talking about things that each variation in the world shares (properly sourced from a reliable academic). There's just way too much information that has been left out of this article that it's kind of sad, considering how significant the subject is. Hopefully someone comes along and gives this article the attention it needs to fulfill its full potential.--Paleface Jack (talk) 18:11, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: That will not be easy. Academic material on this subject is very obscure and unlikely to be found on a simple google search. Much of it will likely not be available in English. It would require a recruitment drive of motivated, knowledgeable people to truly tackle it. Serendipodous 18:49, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rewrite 

message: How the hell is the Bulgarian торбалан similar to the rest of the Indo-European words? When searching for that word on Google, try as I might, I hear no similarity in either of the first few hits. I think it sounds a lot more like  and nothing like the other, actually Indo-European ,  and  words. Am I right or am I right? — Nameless Undead (talk) 14:20, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Etymology 

message: I believe "bogeyman" should not be capitalized. It's not named after a place, the dictionary doesn't capitalize it, we wouldn't capitalize "the monster", and therefore we shouldn't capitalize "the bogeyman". I would change it, but I have had the experience of other users reverting my edits, so I prefer to bring this up here to make sure there is some consensus before making the change.  Thoughts?

thread_title:  Why capitalize "bogeyman"? Can we agree on lower case? 

message: Myanmar - Children are threatened with Pashu Gaung Phyat, meaning Malayu Headhunter. In Burmese we used to call Malays with the name Pashu which may come from Bajau or Bugis. Even Peninsular Malaysia was called Pashu Peninsular. It is a common knowledge that some ethnic groups in Eastern Malaysia, Iban and Dayak were notorious headhunters. Although the Wa tribe of Burma was famous previously until the 1970s, ferocious headhunters,[7] it is a misery why Burmese use that faraway Pashus as bogeyman. @ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=310881124&title=Bogeyman

message: This Egyptian boogeyman analogue, the "Abu Rigl Maslukha" is cited under what is currently citation 27. This citation comes from a WordPress blog, which itself is a folklore and fiction blog and does not reference any further sources in the blog post where the referenced creature appears. When I Google "Abu Rigl Maslukha" as well I can't find any sources that link back to anything other than this WordPress blog. I am not sure if stories of this creature actually exist, and if they do then someone might consider finding a better source to cite for its existence. 47.222.163.183 (talk) 09:11, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
