HISTORY: Fantoft Church Norway

Websites like wikipedia really need to be updated and put in line with iso standards and historical accuracies because the page is getting really run down and most the references are irrelevant now.

I agree though that the page has value because of it's large content volume however today it mainly references itself for sources and you can't trust it's content.

I'm doing blog and book research into Black Metal and all that and have been reading about Norway and it's religion.

Heavy Metal bands using pages on wikipedia like Fantoft Church over the history of their own country of Norway really needs to be corrected on the page.

I mean, the Fantoft Church is a historical landmark in Norway and more time should be spent cleaning up the historical entry on wikpedia and remove band references.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantoft_Stave_Church

A "stave" is a type of church in Norway. 

These churches are from Europe in the 1100's and most had been demolished centuries ago.

Fantoft Church was scheduled for demolition in the 1800's when new churches were constructed  at that time and was bought by private interests and moved, the church was actually privately owned when burned and has been reconstructed since 1997.

Hopefully, all the burnt churches have been reconstructed.

The point of the Black Metal story is that they rebelled against the Church for almost mandatory religion from the Norway Government in the early 1990's.

I'm not sure where that stands today but Norway is extremely Christian with strict values and the Black Metal scene was a rebellion to this "forced religion" they are claiming and satanic images and violent gore movies were not allowed on television at the time, although they were allowed other forms of entertainment such as magazines, movies and books that were not Christian such as horror and gore films. 

The burning of the churches being a small event in the larger history of religion in Norway which is extremely important there. 

The larger issue, the churches themselves is the larger actual historical value not the arsons in the 1990's, a larger emphasis on webpages like wikipedia needs to be place on the historical entry of the churches in Norway and have band references removed as they do not belong on the page.

Similarly on wikipedia, other people own the pages like Fantoft Church but there are other people using it as a band page when it is actually a Norway Church page and these band references need to be removed from the church history pages on the internet.
