The paper was published then; the survey was conducted in 1990 and 91. It also did not "investigate" 12,000 cases; "in all, there were 386 ritual and 191 religion-related cases," quoting from the cite.

  • 11:1111:11, 10 March 2023 diff hist +152 m Model City, New YorkMisread source saying South Huron was proposed in 1880; it was actually 1890.
  • 10:1710:17, 10 March 2023 diff hist +2,064 Model City, New YorkAdding some context around Love here in that Model City was a swindle. Love certainly pitched it as a utopia, but it was one of a half-dozen identical schemes he tried over the years while purporting to advocate for the garden city movement. Love Canal is its other significant legacy.
  • 09:1509:15, 10 March 2023 diff hist +554 Love CanalAdding background on William T. Love, who was not an "ambitious railroad entrepreneur" but a con artist who engaged in a number of such real-estate swindles from the 1880s to the 1930s.
