[edit] Amboyna massacre

Thank you for expanding this article. Could you please provided detailed references for your information. According to WP:RS and WP:ATT, unreferenced information can be removed from wikipedia at any time. thanks --Merbabu 15:31, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

i was under the impression that I DID provide reference by stating my sources under "references". I have now added the exact recors numbers. Will that do it? P.M. Kernkamp 10:23, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

OK, i must have missed that. But thanks for the additional detail. I always think that inline citations are better as most articles will be rework many times over, and with just general references, eventually we lose track of what part came from what reference. But nice to see people like you providing good new info. It's a very interesting topic. I've been to Ambon and also read the book Nathaniels Nutmeg. Kind regards Merbabu 10:37, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for taking an interest! I got involved, so to speak, in the Amboyna Massacre very recently when I found out that one of my ancestors acted as a judge in the affair... He is the one that came back in Holland in 1625 and had to remain under house arrest until the final verdict in 1631! P.M. Kernkamp 18:48, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
