In the David Powell prediction (third from bottom at time of this writing) the sentence "The Earth and the Moon will be most likely destroyed by falling into the Sun" should be changed to "The Earth and the Moon will be most likely be destroyed by falling into the Sun" 165.225.39.8 (talk) 22:54, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

​This needs to have been reported in reliable secondary sources such as newspapers or books, we can't cite someone's self-published blog. – Thjarkur (talk) 21:36, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

2020 Jeane Dixon Dixon predicted that Armageddon would take place in 2020. She previously predicted the world would end on February 4, 1962.

This part must be placed now in the former part, XXIth century, since this prediction was for february 2020. Fivera (talk) 17:41, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Not done. What's your source that the prediction was for February? Reading her book that made the prediction only mentions the year. You can get a snippet view on Google books (note the search matches for '2020'; there are no hits for searching for February) or you can currently borrow the book and read it in its entirety on Archive.org. Relevant text is on pages 170-172. See here: [1]. Damien Linnane (talk) 23:51, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

In future predictions, add the 2028 prediction in Kent Hovind's What on Earth (2013) 174.21.183.43 (talk) 22:50, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

That book doesn't appear to be freely available online, so can you be more specific? What exactly does the book predict and on what pages in the book is said prediction made? Damien Linnane (talk) 23:37, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

 Note: Closing this as  Not done since it's not specific enough to act on. Feel free to reopen or make a new request with more detail. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 23:58, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Add in "Future predictions", "21st Century" Kent Hovind's 2028 prediction in 2013 "dissertation" titled "What on Earth is about to happen... for Heaven's sake?: A Dissertation on End Times According to the Bible" page 239 source: https://web.archive.org/web/20130701015539/http://www.2peter3.com/Books/What%20on%20Earth.pdf (check page 239) the link takes a while to load but it does work. Sorry this is a duplicate of my previous request, i don't know how to reply to a conversation 174.21.183.43 (talk) 00:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

 Done. Damien Linnane (talk) 04:02, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Dates

Isn't it AD, not CE? I, preferably, use AD, so I would like to confirm.PNSMurthy (talk) 09:47, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

@PNSMurthy: Please read WP:ERA. It can be either, but we don't change the existing method at one article because of one person's preference. Damien Linnane (talk) 11:10, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

No, no, I don't mind that. I just wanted to know if there was any special scenario in which one or the other had to be used, or if there was some rule applying to them. Never mind!PNSMurthy (talk) 22:59, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

2020 propecy

i had deleted the 21 december 2020 propecy .no point to include here internet prophecies which are just several months or weeks old.There are milliones such .in what way this is better? i propose that we will include onnly propecies which are at least several years old befor the dead line which they speake about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.250.228.250 (talk) 03:23, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Assuming this is about the Paul Begley thing I just reinserted because WP:EW. Since the sources are crap, and this could be considered WP:BLP-territory, perhaps we should exclude it. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:29, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Especially since this is supposed to be one of the best lists produced by the Wikipedia community. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:43, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

This is one of the best lists on the Wikipedia community, and it got there by having standards. This article is not a collection of every moron who has managed to get media coverage of a prediction. It is a collection of predictions from notable claimants. Non-scientific claimants either have to be notable enough to have their own article on Wikipedia, be the leader of on organisation that has its own article, of the prediction itself has to have its own article, such as the Nibiru cataclysm. Begley's prediction satisfies none of these criteria. Damien Linnane (talk) 07:12, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Sounds ok to me. I also see that at least the List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events#21st_century_2 has primary sources (2), those should be avoided from the WP-perspective, as they don't show anybody noticed the whatever. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:27, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello btw. It's been awhile [2] ;-) Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:36, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Oh wow, yeah I've been watching/working on this article for a long time haha. Good find.

Also, yes, third party sources would definitely be preferred. I think it's a bit of a grey area whether we can use the self-published sources since they're not used to say anything self-serving (they only say the prediction exists, rather than giving any credence to the prediction itself, so it might be OK). But I'll try and see if there's any independent coverage of those predictions when I get a chance. Damien Linnane (talk) 08:54, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

With a bit of luck there's decent sources at the corresponding WP-articles, but this is not always the case. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:15, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Half of the Light from the Sun That Normally Reaches the Earth Will Not Reach Earth in 1985

Not sure if this qualifies for this page or not- here's a modern article talking about Life magazine in 1970[3] (seems more exaggerated than the actual claim?) and here's what I could find in Life magazine [4] page 22. I leave this in your hands, but let me know if I can help. Geographyinitiative (talk) 11:03, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

2043

I suggest that you will add the date of the year 2043 and specifically 5 at february 2043 which is mentioned as the date of the end of the world because of world war with Chinese-north Korean. As was claimed at 1999 by team of professionals discovered predictions of world events spelled out in Revelation by correlating numerical values with letters of the Hebrew alphabet. in the book which was originally published at french at 1999

2022 prophecy

According to the Daly Mail Rabbi Yosef Berger of King David's Tomb in Mount Zion, Jerusalem, had predicted in 2017 that the Meshiach might return in 2022. He bases this belief on two factors: • Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, known by the acronym Rambam, predicted in the 12th century that a bright star would appear in the sky just before his return.

• Some astronomers have predicted that two stars in the Northern Cross will collide in 2022. This will cause an explosion so powerful that it will be visible on Earth without a telescope. • https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4124286/The-Second-Coming-Israeli-Rabbi-claims-birth-new-star-confirms-biblical-prophecy-herald-arrival-Jesus.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:A040:199:F2CF:D0CC:D7E3:CED:149A (talk) 02:47, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Please read WP:DAILYMAIL. That website is not considered a reliable source by Wikipedia. You'll need to find a better source before we even start considering this. Damien Linnane (talk) 21:59, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
