UEA presidents' countries of origin
Regarding the table showing the countries of origin of UEA presidents, how come there's no listing of Croatia/Yugoslavia/Austria-Hungary? Ivo Lapenna was president of UEA for ten years (1964-1974, I think) and he was born in Split in 1909. He may have been based in London during the time he presided over UEA, but for my money the Austro-Hungarian Empire was his "country of origin". --Haruo 08:50, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

correct name
The official name of the association in English is Universal Esperanto Association, direct translation of the name in Esperanto; its board has confirmed this, and asked me to change the "redirect pages". –

World Esperanto Association → Universal Esperanto Association – Regardless of any views we may have about what may or may not be a more natural translation, what matters is what they actually call themselves in English. From their website, it is "Universal Esperanto Association". Also noting that Lalulilo above said substantially the same thing.
