42: 1249: 373:, let me start working on the contents, because I can't decide what would be the best title, so I need to dig deeper into the subject and the history of such territories as various remnants of colonial empires. The way each nation administered their empires had a direct influence on the way overseas territories are perceived even today... I'll let you know when I need the move. Thanks for your help. -- 1082:- for same reasons as above. If you find you need to disambiguate several parties with no particular territorial designation then stick to those parties only, and don't go changing those party names that are clearly unique. PPNZ is the official and registered name of the party and as such needs no such treatment. It also has a number of metadata subpages that are used across the 908: 1221: 426:. I respectfully disagree: this adage has grown to be a significant part of computer culture, independently of its original mention in Hofstadter's book, and is nowadays cited by people who have perhaps not read GEB (personally, this law is one of the few things I remember 20 years after reading this book). In addition to its similarity with 1099: 851:

Thanks for your reply. I see your point but I believe that enough "culture" has developed around this "law" to foster significant encyclopedic input over time. As it stands, it provides enough information for a casual definition, and let's give it a chance at expanding. I've added a few pointers for

is the best bet for a starting point; it's got some good clear descriptions of these territories, but isn't so huge that it needs to be split up; the list of territories that fit this description just isn't very huge, and needs plenty of explanation along with it. So my suggestion would be that

and replaced the O with a peace sign. I'm a XP user browsing with Firefox, and I can't seem to get the symbol to display. I'm using Lucida Sans Unicode as my font, and Unicode (UTF-8) as my default character encoding. Do you know how I might be able to get these symbols to display? Thanks.

JFG, the problem is that I don't think this article will ever go beyond a dictionary definition. It may be a notable adage, I don't know, but if nothing encyclopedic could be said about it, it cannot have its own article. What if we reiderct it into
