Agreed. Lir isn't a vandal, that's a commonsensical issue. I may support Lir's POV, nevertheless I public and widely recognize the fact that Lir's statements are not ruled by the NPOV. I'd strongly encourage Lir to set apart alternative theories just because misinformation within the 'pedias pages are harmful to the project itself. We've set up an "Essays Chapter" in EL. Authors are usually smart enough to tell apart when they are biased on a topic and link the NPOV article to the Essay, and usually both of them, the article and the Essay are written by the same contributor. And I've found that contributors that are biased on a topic, are usually the ones who own the best knowledge on that topic.
