No citation[edit]

This information is directly from http://deploymentlink.osd.mil/deploy/info/africa/equatorial_guinea/index.shtml. I have also seen it on other US government sites. However it is not cited anywhere. As I am not a member, i don't beleive i can change this. Thank you for fixing this "oversight", whoever is kindly enough to do it.

I have added a link to Background Note: Equatorial Guinea (http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/7221.htm) from the US State Department which appears to be the original source of this information. LarryQ 10:57, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete[edit]

There is no information about the 1980's in this article, nor does it mention that the government of Equatorial Guinea is often cited as horribly repressive by human rights organizations —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.52.215.67 (talk) 04:55, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Argentina colony[edit]

There have been a couple of attempts to add Argentina as a colonial power in Equatorial Guinea ([1], [2]). I think that is because as is mentioned in Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata "The colony of Spanish Guinea (present-day Equatorial Guinea) also depended administratively on the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata". However, that still counts as a Spanish colony, so please don't add it again. Vpab15 (talk) 14:54, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
