'United Nations' is a name, not a description. 'International Business Machines' is another example of a name (as opposed to a description). The expression ''''the United Nations'''' is therefore confused language, like it also would be mistaken to refer to IBM as 'the International Business Machines'. |

It would improve the language of this article if United Nations were properly referred to by using its name as just that, a name. That is to say one should refer to UN as simply 'United Nations', and avoid referring to it as ''''the United Nations''''. Of course this also applies to 'International Fund for Agricultural Development' (a name, not a description). --[[Special:Contributions/62.16.186.44|62.16.186.44]] ([[User talk:62.16.186.44|talk]]) 03:04, 28 December 2014 (UTC) |

'United Nations' is a name
'United Nations' is a name, not a description. 'International Business Machines' is another example of a name (as opposed to a description). The expression 'the United Nations' is therefore confused language, like it also would be mistaken to refer to IBM as 'the International Business Machines'.
It would improve the language of this article if United Nations were properly referred to by using its name as just that, a name. That is to say one should refer to UN as simply 'United Nations', and avoid referring to it as 'the United Nations'. Of course this also applies to 'International Fund for Agricultural Development' (a name, not a description). --62.16.186.44 (talk) 03:04, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
