Yo fellas, I know all about this dude, or it seems a hell of a lot more than you guys do, please could you let me write the full article for him? I promise it will be good.

Hey i came across this guy in my ancient history degree course in Leon, why did you delete that which i just wrote, i'm pretty sure its correct

It probably keeps being reverted/deleted because the sources aren't cited. Perhaps if you include an external link or some other source, they'll be less likely to revert your changes. Good luck! Roby Wayne ^{Talk •  Hist} 23:27, 29 August 2005 (UTC) reply

ok thanks man

As an antipope John VIII was the direct rival of Pope Sergius II (844 - 847). An antipope shrouded in mystery and mentioned very little in any writings, John VIII is known to have originated from Dorestad, a city in north-west europe (modern day Netherlands).

Do you have a source for that? Considering you've been adding nothing but nonsense to this article for the past hour, I can only assume this is also made up. Owen× ☎ 23:53, 29 August 2005 (UTC) reply

The article is a stub because some disputed material was removed. See http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Antipope_John_VIII&oldid=22136717 A verifiable reference might be found in Annuario Pontificio, but I don't have access to a copy of the book. -- Eastmain 23:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC) reply

There is a rumor that Pope John VIII was actually the first woman Pope or "Pope Joan."

These rumors concern Pope John VIII and not the guy of this article, don't they? 95.90.226.37 ( talk) 21:29, 27 January 2012 (UTC) reply
