== Lutheran pastor ?? == |

Although many encyclopedic sources cited here assign J.R. Forster to the Lutheran denomination, probably more or less automatically because he was a subject of the later very Lutheran kingdom of Prussia, he was in fact a pastor of the "Reformed Protestant" (i.e. Calvinist) church in Dierschau (which had no Lutheran church); this also fits his Scottisch family origins. See also the "Talk" for the Wikipedia entry on his son George. I have replaced the first footnote by a reference to his 1878 biography (in German) in "Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie", where this is clearly stated. |

This Article has some serious mistakes. The place where he was born was in this time NOT Poland, it was Germany (State of Prussia)! It was only after 1945 occupied, so many hundred Years later.

The articles you quote are stubs, if that. They don't mention the place where he was born which you constantly try to "germanize". We go into a lot of details. Instead of "Ger. Expl." we explain : "Polish born of German descent". He was born (and his whole family) in POLAND, not Greece, China nor Germany. Especially, not Germany!Space Cadet 19:48, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
SC, Oh what nonsense !!! Again incorrect and unreliable wikipedia entries
Moving facts here, because of repeated reverts and insertion of false info on article.
Johann Reinhold Forster (October 22, 1729 - December 9, 1798) was a German naturalist.
Forster made contributions to the early ornithology of Europe and North America. He is best known as the naturalist on James Cook's second Pacific voyage, when he was accompanied by his son Georg Forster.
Forster was born in Dirschau in Prussia at the time of the Prince Elector Kurfürst Friedrich August II. Wettin. Dirschau, now known as Tczew/Poland), is located twenty miles south of Danzig/Gdansk. Forster studied theology at the University of Halle, Germany, afterwards serving as a Lutheran pastor....
Space Cadet, I see that you have not stopped sabotaging wikipedia articles. Is it, that the chauvanist extrem nationalist and communist upbringing in Poland is so ingrained in you bunch of wikipedians, that you just have to distort everything, because you see it through red- not pink- glasses, just like comrad # 1 before you? Anyone with historical knowledge can see right through this b.s., however many of the gullible en-wikipedia readers might even believe some of it. No wonder you are having so much fun inputting incorrect and unreliable wikipedia entries.
Dear anon. You resort to calling me names and suggesting that I'm a brainwashed commie, with no mind of my own, yet you don't say one word in defense of your preposterous "XIX century Prussian historiography(?)" edits. Good going! Yours truly, Space Cadet 17:54, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
