If you claim the church was pagan in nature (and not in a detorial shape) please quote your sources. — John Erling Blad (jeb) 22:44, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
The existing external page does not qualify the claim about why the church was demolished and can't be used for anything but as a page with nice pictures. — John Erling Blad (no) 18:46, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- Your criticism is not valid. If it is referenced that the construction was perceived as pagan, your personal opinion about what is pagan in aspect is not relevant. To the general WP user, the external page is a greater authority than you (sorry).--Berig 19:43, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

- Check any well reputated text about this kind of church. Jeblad 22:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

- Your opposition is totally beside the point: whether one or two Swedish clergymen at some point in time considered style of Skaga stave church to be "pagan" and had it demolished has nothing to do with whether stave churche style is pagan in itself, or generally considered to be. You appear to have taken offense by the statement that some clergymen found it pagan. Please don't mix apples with oranges.--Berig 10:36, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

- As I recall, the written statement says it was demolished because was about to crumble, not because it was pagan in itself. If you can find any written statements that the church was demolished because it looked pagan, or was in fact pagan, and this can be attributed to any person involved with the destruction, then please introduce it as a reference in the article. Otherwise local folklore can be written into the article as "someone says". Jeblad 19:12, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Why didn't you fix it yourself?--Berig 19:14, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
