illogical[edit]

The article is entitled "Ministries" and the content is "Ministers". These are not the same thing. One or the other requires correction. Fiddle Faddle 16:54, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The content includes the official Ministries of Djibouti, and each Minister that heads those Ministries. Please see Composition du gouvernement de la République de Djibouti from the French government and Chiefs of State and Cabinet Members of Foreign Goverments by the US government.

The French are a logical people. They have ministers who are people, and ministries in which ministers work. Fiddle Faddle 19:26, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and so does Djibouti. Both the ministries and cabinet members are listed in the official links above. The African Business Information Bank's list of the Ministères de Djibouti (Ministries of Djibouti) does as well [country=Djibouti&tx_abibcountries_country[menu]=4&tx_abibcountries_country[action]=show&tx_abibcountries_country[controller]=Country&cHash=a1158a674a2bb540922eca91a1a41d25].

Is English your first language? If not I can see your difficulty. Please look at the article and the {{copyedit}} template carefully. The title is Ministries but the links in the list are, almost all, to Ministers.

This is not consistent, and needs to be changed, please. Fiddle Faddle 17:32, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A possible solution[edit]

Try this:

Ministry	Title of Minister	Current post holder
Ministry of Silly Walks	Walking Minister	John Cleese

It shows with clarity the name of the Ministry, the title of the Minister and the current person in the post Fiddle Faddle 17:39, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. Middayexpress (talk) 17:41, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This also give you a substantially better and more flexible article in addition to a correct article. You coudl even add another colum for the date the current person was appointed Fiddle Faddle 17:49, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done, though there is more content work to be done by someone else. Fiddle Faddle 13:12, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; looks good. I've filled out the official titles. Middayexpress (talk) 13:31, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good work. Fiddle Faddle 13:43, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
