I renamed this page from [[Havre, farm, Norway]] for several reason. The name was not standard wikipedia format (the ,farm , norway part of it), Havrå is an unique name (see [[Havre]]), after googling both havre and havrå, the havre (+osterøy) search led mostly to pages in Norwegian about the name change, while the Havrå search led to both English and Norwegian pages about the farm. Therefore I assume that Havrå is the standard name in English. The old name is now a redirect [[User:EivindFOyangen|Eivind]] 08:50, 4 March 2006 (UTC) |

I renamed this page from Havre, farm, Norway for several reason. The name was not standard wikipedia format (the ,farm , norway part of it), Havrå is an unique name (see Havre), after googling both havre and havrå, the havre (+osterøy) search led mostly to pages in Norwegian about the name change, while the Havrå search led to both English and Norwegian pages about the farm. Therefore I assume that Havrå is the standard name in English. The old name is now a redirect Eivind 08:50, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Eivind, what background information do you have for changing the name of Havre to Havrå, except Google search?
You have removed the paragraph: The population from Havre and their descendants have strongly expressed that they have experienced the name change as a violation of their identity and their roots.
I understand that you have done this because you do not see this as a "neutral point of view" statement. However, there exists written documentation that this is indeed the case. It is of objective interest to know that the use of Havrå is against the will of the people from Havre. By leaving this important information out, the article is less in accordance with the Wikipedia neutral point of view policy.
