Hello! East Africa is not solely/merely used to refer to those three countries, nor is Eastern Africa solely used by the UN -- the prior edition tried to indicate this in a cut-and-dry manner, which is incorrect. Take a glance at any guide, like the CIA World Factbook for instance, and you'll note that a smattering of countries can be found in any number of regions of Africa. At least if the Merriam-Webster's Geographical Dictionary is to believed, East Africa comprises an area which commonly includes those three countries and often three others, which my edits have clearly done; hence, dual articles are not necessary. As well, the point is reinforced with links to the distinct but related East African Community. That is the difficulty whenever a cardinal direction is used when referring to regions: in the basic sense, East/ern Africa is anything on the eastern coast of the continent, with details being a matter of interpretation.

Hi Ezeu, I wanted your advice regards renaming an article I created, Chadian Civil War, made as part of the History of Chad series, and covering years 1979-82. I originally called the article Chaos in Chad, but it was moved by User:KI, as unsatisfactory. While I have to agree that my first choice wasn't brilliant, Chadian Civil War is unacceptable, as, far from extending fom 1979 to 1982, it went from 1965 to 1993, making it one of the longest ever in Africa. I also need the title Chadian Civil War because I'm projecting to make an article on the conflict. What's your opinion? And also, always about article names, what do you think about this Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/African military history task force#Chadian-Sudanese conflict/Third Chadian Civil War?

I specifically stated in the Kyokushin article that the style is a "stand-up" style because that is actually a very important distinction. As you're probably aware, some martial arts styles mainly involve grappling, often with both opponents laying on the floor. Other styles don't teach any ground/grappling work at all, only techniques that are utilized while standing. Other styles are a mixture of the two (like Daido Juku, Judo, etc).
Kyokushin only teaches stand-up skills. In Kyokushin, if you fall down while fighting, you're supposed to stand back up as quickly as possible. In a Kyokushin tournament or practice sparring session, if either opponent falls down, the match is immediately stopped so that the opponent(s) can return to a standing position. That's why Kyokushin is described as a "stand-up" style. Cla68 06:24, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Ezeu, I notice you inserted a spam alert in the Wikepedia section on Truck campers. I am responsible for most of the content on that page and see no spam there. There are several links to various manufacturers in there, but they are representative of the differing construction types of this particular RV. I am considered one of the foremost sources of information on this subject, but I am president(non-paid) of the non-profit association representing most manufacturers & also consumers. I have no ties to any particular company. - Paul Beddows
I can make most of them non-clickable if that would help.
I agree that the Pacific Islander section is a little unbalanced. All I ask is that all the images be highly visible in the gallery format & that each category be half male, half female Iseebias

Hi, do you have time to have a look at the Music in Africa article. It seems to have been vandalized. The references and a lot of links are gone. I don't have the time at the moment to take care of that. Do you have the time? Greetings Nannus 23:54, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Screw Mugabe, screw you and screw wikipedia. Yes, I vandalised the page. I am proud of what I did. It's better than vandalising a whole country. Ban me if you like. I don't give a shit.
