[edit] Sources for War of the Mantuan Succession
Hello, some time ago you added a fair bit of content to War of the Mantuan Succession. As you may be aware, we are currently trying to improve Wikipedia's verifiability and reliability by making sure articles cite the sources used to create them. Do you remember what websites, books, or other sources you used to add content to War of the Mantuan Succession? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? See WP:CITET for some quick templates to use for citing sources. Thanks! --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 05:57, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Lords of Bouillon
Hi Havard, I was trying to fix the page histories for the County of Bouillon and Lords of Bouillon pages, but I accidentally did it backwards, so I lost your updated page (and now Lords of Bouillon simply has the list from the old page). My apologies for this extremely stupid mistake...would it be possible for you to re-add the new info? I hope it will not be too much trouble. Adam Bishop 16:44, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paradox Page
Havard - I apologize for upsetting you by editing the Paradox page to show that the Paradox forums ban people for anything that runs counter to mod's beliefs. RTexasUSA
Just so that you know, I edited the Paradox page to show my opinion again. I look forward to you reverting it.
By the way, could you send me a message back telling me which parts of the follow are POV? I wouldn't want to do it again:
"It should be noted that the Paradox Forums have several restrictions for posters.(fact) For example, any discussion glorifying the Holocaust or Naziism is strictly prohibited.(fact) Users may be banned for bringing up these topics in such a manner.(fact) The purpose is two-fold. First, Paradox wishes to continue selling its games in Germany, Austria, and Italy, where glorification of Naziism or the Holocaust is strictly prohibited.(fact) Secondly, such discussions can cause unnecessary hurt for users. (POV?)
Paradox also has several restrictions that can cause immediate banning, resulting in some animosity from current and past posters.(fact - Tomatoforum and Il Diche's forum) Asking for any information on when a future patch may be released will result in banning.(fact) Any mention of certain rival forums, such as The Tomatoforum, may result in immediate banning.(fact - the very word "tomatocow" is censored) According to some members, anti-Americanism is allowed, and encouraged in some cases, while anti-European or anti-socialist talk can result in immediate banning. (pov? I'll remove) Personally insulting mods or questioning them can result in immediate banning as well.(fact)
The forums do offer a good resource for information and tips on Paradox games, but posters must tread lightly. (pov? Is it bad information?) Ask intelligent questions and avoid certain topics and a new poster should be fine and have a fun time.(pov - maybe the forums aren't a fun time)"
