I somehow suspect that the bit about Giscard is a bit biased. David.Monniaux 21:07, 18 Sep 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Humor?
I know humor is usually not the intended effect in the Wikipedia. I hope the humor inherent in the following juxtapostion is unintended:
- With the return of democracy in 1993, Kolingba declared a general amnesty for all prisoners as one of his final acts as president. Bokassa was released on August 1. He had seventeen wives and a reported fifty children. He died of a heart attack.

[edit] Renaming to Jean-Bedel Bokassa
Shouldn't this article be renamed to Jean-Bédel Bokassa. I mean, he wasnt really an emperor after all, and a google search for "Bokassa I of Central Africa" (omitting Wikipedia) returns 3 links. Well, I'll go ahead and rename it. --Ezeu 03:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Well, it doesn't really matter what google turns up. He was officially an Emperor, that was his official title. Past monarchs have not even ruled or reigned, yet they have thier regnal names and such for their article names. Surely Bokassa exerted more political power than, say, Napoleon II of France? I see no logical reason as to why this should not be called "Bokassa I of Central Africa". That was his name. --The Gonz 15:54, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Links
You should closely examine the links in this here article. The first linked Website is dedicated to a statesman who served his country with selfless devotion for his service to a nation that desperately needed a firm leadership in an era of widespread governmental corruption who alas was rejected by the people he so loved. I have a feeling that this is NOT was was meant by NPOV. --Janneman 01:47, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

- Links, as they are external, do not need to fulfill NPoV. Hence links from a politician's article can go to there own website.--Couter-revolutionary 18:41, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
