Halloween article

Two articles on Halloween by Gedsiri Suhartono on Oct. 31 improved my knowledge about the celebration. But this does not necessarily mean that I am happy. The one titled Halloween tradition has Druid origins makes me frown.

The problem is that this short piece, on the history of Halloween, is taken from American Encyclopedia. What surprises me is the fact that the writer did not mention the source, which is not ethical.
