, 30 September 2009 (UTC) :::::::::::I think you may be misunderstanding why L'Anse Aux Meadows in mentioned in this article. It's not there to validate the Vinland Map (which marks no settlements in Vinland), but rather to emphasise that the inauthenticity of the Vinland Map does not in any way invalidate the reality of Vinland, and the Norse explorations. At the same time, there is a school of thought which goes far beyond the reliable evidence when discussing the extent of Norse involvement with America, and it's important not to encourage that in an encyclopedia.   19:13
