The article misstates the setting of Orderic Vitalis’s account.

A Norman-language reference work summarizing the passage quotes Orderic’s Latin: “Dæmon enim, quem de Dianæ fano expulit [Taurinus]...” and translates it as the demon Saint Taurin drove out of the temple of Diana at Évreux. That directly contradicts the article’s claim that the demon was expelled from a church.

A second source paraphrasing Orderic says the same thing in English: Saint Taurin “expelled from the temple of Diana a horrible demon” whom the common people called Gobelin. So the location in the article is wrong: it should refer to a pagan temple (the temple of Diana), not a church.

This sentence misstates Tolkien’s terminology.

In the author’s note to The Hobbit, Tolkien explicitly says that “Orc is not an English word” and that it is “usually translated goblin (or hobgoblin for the larger kinds)”. That means goblin was not a special label for lesser orcs; it was the usual English translation of orc.

Tolkien later reinforced the same point in his Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings, writing that “It was translated ‘goblin’ in The Hobbit, except in one place”. Again, that treats goblin as a translation term for the race generally, not as a subclass meaning “lesser orcs.”

So the article’s distinction is backwards: Tolkien’s own note says hobgoblin was used for the larger kinds, not goblin for the lesser ones.

This sentence groups two Harry Osborn film appearances together as Green Goblin appearances, but that is not accurate for Spider-Man 3.

Sony’s official page for Spider-Man 3 identifies James Franco’s villain as “the New Goblin”, listing the film’s villains as Sandman, Venom, and the New Goblin (James Franco). IMDb’s cast listing for the movie likewise credits James Franco as “New Goblin / Harry Osborn.”

So while Harry Osborn is a goblin-themed villain in Spider-Man 3, the film does not present him as the Green Goblin there. The article’s wording incorrectly folds Spider-Man 3 into Green Goblin appearances by Harry Osborn.
