Add this to the Kenneth Alan Vanir theory list. Another page where he added his pet theory as fact. Martijn faassen 23:08, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

How did people like Galileo, Copernicus and others in the Renaissance gain any foothold in society? They defied the stubborn, closeminded and apathetic control spheres of the Church. I am simply bringing a theory composed of several sources. I have never actually seen the full composition of such a belief(just bits and pieces hinting at it), but then, we compose Wikipedia in our own format by drawing upon other sources and SHOULD include ORIGINALITY in our takes on the sources to avoid simple repetition of the same knowledge that we all already know without question or critique. I am just not imitating/exploiting the lowest common denominator to fill up the article. Where there are questions and need of answers to issues, I have simply tried to fill the gaps with relevant material that fits because I hate sitting through crappy articles that talk around the issues with just "what people believe" instead of actual analysis and results. I actually use my brain when I study, unlike so many others that just regurgitate exactly what has already been spoken of but nothing new or consequential. Shedding light on issues is what helps people learn, instead of merely redistribution by communique. User:Kenneth Alan

The article stated as fact that the name is derived from Venus, and that the Vanir were her descendants. Presenting original research as established fact is misleading and unethical. -Sean 01:16, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)

And not the job of wikipedia to boot, not matter what User:Kenneth Alan likes to think. Martijn faassen 20:51, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)

OK, if you want to be a Pope-clone, by all means, go ahead with your backwards elitist ideals! User:Kenneth Alan

Atheist == papist? news to me. -Sean 20:45, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)
