[edit] Renaming this page

Thank you very much for this article, from a peruvian, however, please do not include information that has never been proved, viracocha has absolutely no connection with any aztec god, or, much less with any polynesian god, please, viracocha is a south american god. Also, it would be interesting for you to know that Viracocha has been a diety for ancient Peruvians for around 5000 years, and images of earlier versions (the staff god) can be found on even pre-chavin ruins and artifacts, although it has not been determined whether these images are in any way related to the norte chico civilization, thanks and good luck. - for references check out andean archaeology edited by Helaine Silverman.

I've reverted this page back to Viracocha for a few reasons. (1) The move to Virakocha was not discussed here before being executed. (2) Viracocha seems to be the more common spelling, at almost 10 times the number of Google hits than Virakocha, and Viracocha is also the common spelling among most of the other language Wikipedias. Please, please discuss name changes before just jumping in and moving a page, and please refer to Wikipedia naming conventions. Thanks. Gsd97jks 18:19, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
