[edit] Definite article in DRC

Can I ask your help with something? I noticed you are a member of WikiProject Central Africa. Should articles on DRC include the word "The" in their title? I'm thinking of National Assembly of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and others which have recently been moved. Personally I think yes they should, as this is what english speakers normally say (despite the general ban on articles in wikipedia). Could you let me know what you think by commenting at Talk:Democratic Republic of the Congo. Many thanks!! AndrewRT(Talk) 21:22, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

First of all, I thought that project never got off the ground. I think the consensus was to go along with Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa instead. With regards to the country's article, I think it's in the same boat as Gambia - it is referred to without a "the" in everyday conversation, but when writing titles or full sentences about Congo-Kinshasa (which happens to be my preferred way of referring to it) the "the" should be used.

[edit] Change in Template:DRV top

Just a heads-up that I made a small change in the {{DRV top}} (or {{drt}}) template: the level 4 header, with a (closed) marker, is now part of the template. So any discussion can now be closed by simply replacing the four equal signs on each side of the title into the the template text:

 ====[[Title]]====

is changed to

 {{subst:drt|[[Title]]|Decision}}

which turns into

[edit] Are You A Piccardo?

I really don't know what I am doing. I guess this is some kind of HTML thing. I read the info about leaving a signature, but I don't know if what I am about to do will work, or what it will do for that matter. I only came across your username because I typed in my last name into wikipedia and saw that you had edited the info. And then I got curious and wondered who you were, and if you know more about Piccardo's, if anything at all. 17:50, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

No, I'm not a Piccardo. I don't recall editing the article, but it seems I did, all the way back in August. The fact that I edited it is either a rather improbable coincidence (dividing my total edits, 6500 or so, by the approximate number of articles from back then, 1.3 million, gets .005) or I typed "Picaroon" into the search bar and found that article.

[edit] My RFA

Thank you for your moral support on my unsuccessful RFA. I will continue to contribute to wikipedia. Happy editing! Wooyi 20:24, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Happy editing to you to. Thanks for keeping your spirits up and staying in a positive frame-of-mind. Picaroon 22:46, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Fairness And Accuracy For All

I don't mind the manual template for being banned, but if you choose to go that route and keep his page locked, please manually put him the in banned user category. See User:DeanHinnen for the category as he was banned in the same ArbCom decision. I think it's Category:Banned Wikipedia users Thanks! --Tbeatty 02:55, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nigeria Government and Politics section

Thanks for the warm welcome, and thanks for the pointer to Be Bold. I had skimmed the various etiquette guides for leaving comments on the talk page, but my skimming must have been too much because I missed be Bold. Anyway, happy Wiki-ing 2verb 03:48, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
