Solomon Islands reply to your question

For the name of the country try https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/bp.html or http://www.un.int/wcm/content/site/solomonislands or any SI government site or even Solomon Islands. The Solomon Islands refers to the archipelago, which includes the nation of Solomon Islands but also other areas such as Bougainville, which is a province of another country, PNG. 'The' Solomon Islands has a separate page in wikipedia at The Solomon Islands (archipelago). I actually work in the Ministry for Justice and Legal Affairs, Solomon Islands under RAMSI, which is the multilateral peace force carefully called the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands not the Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands, which would upset PNG. Before independence in 1978 the islands that now make up Solomon Islands came under the colonial British administration for the archipelago and was in fact called the Solomon Islands because, to them, it was just a collection of islands; the name Solomon Islands was chosen to differentiate the new nation but colonial habits die hard so most Brits still talk about the Solomon Islands when they mean the nation. Solomon Islanders would like to get away from the colonial past so putting in the 'the' can be rather insulting. Ex nihil ^(talk) 06:43, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, but you have not yet proven that "Solomon Islands" is correct. (1) Your personal knowledge is irrelevant. (2) Wikipedia is not a proper source for Wikipedia. (3) Whether some Solomon Islanders would be insulted is also irrelevant. (4) The Central Intelligence Agency website uses "the Solomon Islands" in places. (5) The United States Department of State refers to the country as "the Solomon Islands". (6) As does the United Nations. Any further discussion should be on the article discussion page, not my talk page. AfricaTanz (talk) 12:58, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank by the ortography correction

I think my spelling in English is very bad, according other editors have written me, because I want to thank you that you've explained what I wrote in the article of the Tanzanian Americans with other words. That could facilitate reading. Well, I had mentioned the Tanzanians´s professions that were in the United States based on the Encyclopedia of Chicago, because if many Tanzanians have certain professions in Chicago, many Tanzanians have them in the U.S., but that does not matter much.--Isinbill (talk) 14:05, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

We cannot assume that the characteristics of the Tanzanians living in Chicago are representative of Tanzanians living elsewhere in the United States. AfricaTanz (talk) 14:16, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Not that. The simple fact that there are, for example, a group of carpenters from some origin in a U.S., already would mean that there is a group of carpenters from that origin in the U.S., because that place belongs to the U.S.--Isinbill (talk) 14:22, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

GDP data for Tanzania

A difference of population estimates between the IMF and the national statistical office is not unusual, since they're not calculated from the same base year, and it doesn't justify the deletion of GDP per capita figures. The difference between the two projections is small: the October 2012 WEO estimated a population of 43.019 million, and the GDP per capita barely changed (to $1,708 PPP and $650 nominal). You can use this earlier estimate if you prefer, but removing it altogether is unacceptable.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 19:27, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Whether the difference is "unusual" is irrelevant to the question of whether the per capital figure is "wrong". There is no doubt that the figure is, in fact, "wrong" based on the official census. The International Monetary Fund's (IMF) population estimate for 2012 was 47,142,648, which is 2,213,646 more than the 2012 census result of 44,929,002, a 4.9 percent discrepancy. The per capita GDP (PPP) based on the census would have been 1,643.90, not the IMF's erroneous 1,566.71. There is no cited proof that the IMF would ignore the results of the census. Therefore, the IMF's per capital figure is, in your terms, "unacceptable" and, in my terms, "inaccurate" and, therefore, "unencyclopedic". Should you wish any further discussion of this issue, take it to the article talk page, not here. AfricaTanz (talk) 02:42, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Yemenia Airways

Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Airports/page_content (bullet #7 please) and there is no Yemen Airways flights to Africa. You need to stop your nonsense editing or I will report you for vandalism! 68.119.73.36 (talk) 07:53, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

You are very wrong. Yemenia Airways also flies to Nairobi, Khartoum, Asmara, Cairo, Djibouti, Moroni, and Addis Ababa. All of those are in AFRICA. If you keep being incivil and/or harrassing on my talk page, you run the risk of being blocked. Your best bet is to stay away from here. Cheers. AfricaTanz (talk) 12:38, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

According to the route map that Yemenia Airways publishes, it flies to the following airports in Africa: Addis Ababa, Asmara, Cairo, Dar es Salaam, Djibouti, Khartoum, Moroni, and Nairobi. It's good that you deleted your last incivil comment on this talk page. Cheers. AfricaTanz (talk) 21:01, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

According to ITA, an extremely reliable source, all the routes listed in my last post are bookable on Yemenia Airways. So, the evidence is completely against your position. Cheers. AfricaTanz (talk) 21:15, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

You said in your thankfully deleted diatribe on this talk page: "Uhhhhh, if you look at Yemenia destinations page, you see that the airlines DOES NOT have any flights to Africa (the only destination in Africa served was Johannesburg but that has been terminated)." But Wikipedia simply cannot be a source for a Wikipedia article. Apart from that fact, the Wikipedia article lists several active destinations in Africa: Addis Ababa, Asmara, Cairo, Djibouti, Khartoum, and Nairobi. This article might be helpful to you: List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Africa. AfricaTanz (talk) 21:25, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

It's heartening to see, after all the aggressiveness you've shown in edit summaries and on this talk page, that you've recognized that Yemenia Airways flies to both Dar es Salaam and Nairobi. Maybe you'll be more cautious about hastily condemning editors in the future. Cheers. AfricaTanz (talk) 12:04, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Rant from Taroaldo

You do not seem to have the ability to interact well with other editors on Wikipedia. Now you appear to be stalking my talk page. You cannot make changes to text that I have added to my own talk page. Your behavior is unacceptable and you are not permitted to return to my talk page. Thank you. Taroaldo ✉ 00:38, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Don't talk trash about me on your talk page. You will have far fewer problems and will not risk being reported to ANI. You were already banned from mine. Remember? Did that stop you from posting here? Nope. Cheers. AfricaTanz (talk) 00:49, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Article titles

Hello AfricaTanz. I've noted that you've moved quite a number of article pages and in some cases, expanded the titles using brackets. May I suggest that you read this policy/guideline: Wikipedia:Article titles. Ali Fazal (talk) 15:15, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

I have read it. Refer to this language therein: "it is sometimes necessary to add distinguishing information, often in the form of a description in parentheses after the name." Cheers. AfricaTanz (talk) 20:40, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
