[edit] GW licensing
Hi. I notice you've been removing some information from Games Workshop and The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game about licensing. Do you have a reasoning behind this? At the moment, your edits look very much like vandalism and are liable to be reverted. Cheers --Pak21 15:52, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- No not vandalism. Our licensing information has never been made public and most of what is written here is inheritantly not true. Adam is also not pleased about being misquoted.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.109.165.97 (talk • contribs).

- I apologise if the information here is untrue. Please verify this on the GW forum "Bob the Ringwraith" thread and I will happily remove it for you. Grimhelm 21:38, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

- Actually, looking back at this, I have decided to remove the misquote. As a Lord of the Rings customer, I respect that the contract between GW and Tolkien Estate has a right to remain confidential. I also respect that Wikipedia needs to be verifiable. It's not that I'm biased in either way, it's just that GW never officially commented on their licence, so Wikipedia cannot give information on it. To leave it here would damage the reputation of GW, Tolkien Estate and Wikipedia as a whole, so it should no longer be here. Adam Troke never officially said it, but he never rejected it either, so even when it is removed from Wikipedia people of the GW forum will still believe it and Adam will unfortunately continue to be misquoted. I didn't invent this story, I heard it from another GW forum member ([2]), and what the article says is "reportedly" and "it is widely believed". Wikipedia never took it as a primary source, therefore, but since it has been denied by what we can only assume is a server for Games Workshop, we have no choice to remove it, oterwise it might be seen as libel. Apologies on behalf of both the GW and the Wikipedia community if it is indeed incorrect.Grimhelm 08:02, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
