[edit] Name controversy

User:84.215.10.225 has been attempting to make changes in the present article by removing existing information about the etymology of the name Frøya and inserting a claim about its origin being unrelated to the norse goddess Freyja. In the latest edit two works are cited for this: Norske Gaardnavne and Norsk stadnamnleksikon. This will be checked out, obviously, and I care to mention that this is the first instance where 84.215.10.225 has provided references for his/her assertions. So there really is no need for calling other editors "idiots and amateurs." All that is needed is to provide som factual sourcing for ones claims and we are going to sort out what the merits of the various claims are. __meco 08:17, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
