Newfoundland
The article was about vikings not having landed in what is now New England. Unless the L’Anse aux Meadows findings can be proven wrong, the contention in this article that they never landed in North America needs to be removed as misleading. -[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 14:59, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

With respect to Toffeeman, I think the article ought to reflect the vast majority of scholarly opinion. There's a great deal of historical and archaeological evidence that the Vikings settled for a few decades in Newfoundland. Whether they penetrated any further in North America is more controversial. I've simply reverted Toffeeman's reversion but if others wish to improve on my text, please do. But let's all please stick to the facts, not label well-established conclusions from decades of scholarship as 'liberal myths'. [[User:Googly|Googly]] 16:57, 5 August 2008 (EDT)
