Peru
Under the section "Government and politics", it says The Unites States State Department said it been told of many irregularities and criticised the Peruvian government for cutting all telecommunications before the vote. This reference to Peru just falls out of the sky, and, unless it's an error, needs some explanation. 2001:981:4B0C:1:F5CD:FD90:D8A7:2CAB (talk) 09:22, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Republic of the Congo → Congo Republic – Per WP:COMMONNAME, although the UN uses the designation "Congo", the name Congo Republic would be a simplified process and shorten the name to avoid confusion. Wrestlingring (talk) 20:02, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Oppose. It seems this would cause more confusion as Congo Republic is the current name of neither Congo.  —  AjaxSmack   02:43, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose move. The common name is Republic of the Congo.  ONR  (talk) 07:23, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose per the above comments.  Lugnuts  Precious bodily fluids 08:37, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The common name is "Congo," but that would create confusion with DR Congo. I suggest Congo (Brazzaville). Pandas and people (talk) 12:42, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Invariably known as the Republic of the Congo when a disambiguator is needed. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:26, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

"North Congo" listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect North Congo. Please participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Steel1943 (talk) 02:45, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

RDC is a (or the) official abbreviation, as used by the Govt. of the Rep. of Congo
I recently added a sourced attribution, from an official Rep. of Congo website, which shows "RDC" as the official abbreviation. And a few days later it was deleted by an unregistered IP in southern Sweden! I guess our Swedish colleague didn't like the Government of Congo's own abbreviation for itself! The website of the Govt. of Rep. of Congo is not a good enough reference???

I'm adding RDC back in. But please help me fend off over-active and thoughtless deleters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Traversetravis (talk • contribs) 01:59, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Conflation
Too much is conflated in this sentence:

The sovereign state has had multi-party elections since 1992, although a democratically elected government was ousted in the 1997 Republic of the Congo Civil War, and President Denis Sassou Nguesso, who first came to power in 1979, has ruled for almost 4 decades.

Much is unclear. For example, when Nguesso was first elected. If ever (one can imagine no real term limits). &mdash; MaxEnt 03:08, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
