thread_title: Article outdated by new constitution: now 26 instead of 11 provinces ?

message: I rewrote the article as it was long outdated.  This is my largest wikipedia contribution to date and what a pain it was.  I first wanted to focus more on the governance of the subdivisions and how they interrelated but with local elections never being held, I decided this would be too theoretical.  I may later add a section on subdivisions that are not subnational entities such as electoral districts and health zones.

thread_title: Rewrite

message: I have already posted this in the 'Communes of the [DRC]' talk section, but thought I might reach more people here. Should 'commune' be translated to 'municipality' or does it refer to the same concept as it does in English? 'Territoire' and 'secteur' (for example) have their English equivalents shown ('territory' and 'sector'), but 'commune' has not been translated. Should it be 'municipality' in English and then (commune) beside it like the others, or is it already correct? I don't know much about the DRC, but personally 'municipality' makes a lot more sense than 'commune' does, especially when you consider how they are treated as subdivisions.

Talk:Snecma Atar

message: In mathematical operations, multiplication and division have the same priority.  Absent any grouping with parentheses and the like, the operations proceed from left to right.
That means that for "lb/hr*lbf" you would first divide pounds by hours, then multiply the result by pounds-force.  However, that is not what is intended.  What it should be is "(lb/h)/lbf" with the second operation a division by the pounds force.  This is equivalent to "lb/(h·lbf)"; note, however the difference between this and what used to appear on this and similar pages.  The parentheses are necessary for the units expressed in this format.
In this article I have used the superscripts format, an unambiguous way of expressing these complex operations because it still works no matter how you rearrange the component units. Gene Nygaard 13:28, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Split the article

message: We currently have two articles. We should have either one or three.
The ATAR series is important, so obviously deserves an article that covers its history. This history has a number of variants, but the two major ones are the 101 and the 8/9. These were distinct generations: for technical design, for performance, for their applications. Notability, from their commercial success, justifies separate article on each of these two variants. However we don't have three articles of material here at present. What we have instead is an unhelpfully split article where one of these (the less well known) is separate and largely duplicates the others. This just makes it harder for the reader.
