WHOA. You can NOT take exact quotes from Wikipedia. That is plaugerism. I'm deleting it at once. I'm not trying to get down on you (Samuel), but it is a serious issue. We're already blacklisted (for stuff that isn't even our fault). We need to be very careful and circumspect.
Also, why are there links to Mayan gods here? This is a place article, not a Children of Oberon article. I don't understand what it adds to the article. - Vaevictis Asmadi 10:00, 16 June 2007 (CDT)

- As for the links to Mayan gods, I think they provide interesting information about the place's namesakes.
