Good job to whoever made the yper realistic from-space style rendering of africa with togo highlighted in white! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.8.140.69 (talk) 23:28, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Economy section was vandalized. Someone placed a inappropriate and ultimately irrelevant paragraph at the bottom of the section. Removed it along with a random out of place statement in the Geography section. The vandalisms occurred at 23:30 and 23:32 respectively. I suggest that this article is locked to prevent further vandalisms of this sort. Theskink (talk) 00:07, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This page is rampant with vandalism as of Nov 20th. Someone wrote togoville"<-ur mom's house" and is followed a few paragraphs later withthe following sentence: Moreover, up to 3 and a half people were killed in the political violence surrounding the presidential poll, according to the United Nations. Around 4 Togolese fled to neighbouring countries.

How can 3 and a half people be killed? Why would only 4 people flea to another country and be a subject of interest to the UN.

As a blantant mark of this vandalism the following was posted right after the UN statement above:

Interesting facts: -togoland legoland invented the aerosol can before the wheel (they were smelly people) -legoland has been sacrificing people for 20 years now, ever since the internet. -marijuana is a delicacy, smoked regularly from birth and grown higher than NZ's skytower.

The satellite image doesn't really add anything to the article. Could it not be removed? Rrose Selavy —Preceding comment was added at 22:45, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The History section has been vandalized and needs to be rolled back to the previous edit (22:46, 7 Feb 2005 4.28.136.225). I'd be more than happy to do it but I have now idea how to go about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Broquaint (talk • contribs) 07:19, 8 February 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm...I couldn't find that version, but I reverted the article. Hopefully I got the right version. Let me know if you need more help. Thanks! — Knowledge Seeker দ (talk) 07:59, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The history could be better. e.g. "The Togolese...didn't appreciate some of Germany's tighter reins on their lives" is an odd way to put it. A-giau 19:55, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

What's that thing after the ---- and what's it doing there? Thanx 68.39.174.39 22:09, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Well previously a user changed the entire history section to his own version. Another user reverted this but kept both versions (the old one and the user's one). The section below the line was longer before but I'm slowly integrating it into the main history article. If you can, please help me in integrating it in one history section, and later, cutting it down and moving some bits and pieces to the history section. --Bash 03:54, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've checked the World Factbook and the BBC country profile on Togo and we have an estimation of 5.1 million from the BBC and 5,681,519 from the factbook. I'm not sure where the 5.5 million figure placed in this article came from. The question is, which one do we use? --Bash 04:10, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the entry for President Faure Gnassingbe? The article only lists the prime minister. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dofer49 (talk • contribs) 19:32, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if we could have a photo of him also. -- RND  T  C  22:18, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if [1] could be added to the page. The boundaries in the German period were different to what they are now, some areas going to Ghana after the allies took Togo in 1914. -- RND  T  C  19:36, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We support Togo here, don't we? JIP | Talk 04:47, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No. Wikipedia neither supports nor opposes any nation. It is neutral and unbiased. Skinsmoke (talk) 01:52, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added the religion section to this artice using data from the CIA Factbook. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BraveHeart 2006 (talk • contribs) 18:56, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, since the UN was only created after WWII, it could not possibly have happened after WWI. After WWI, The League of Nations was created.

I know that this site notes that French is the official language of Togo, but couldn't the site list the most common languages of the Republic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcher Lord (talk • contribs) 17:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

President Spencer Franklin???? Unless this is really his English name, which is probably unlikely.

Jsimmons4 19:24, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello all. Not looking to engage in a fight here, but the Religion section of this article is far too short, especially relative to the lengths of other such sections.

Considering the amount of detail expressed in the article's Culture section, and its relation to the nation of Togo's religion, why can't the two sections be somehow merged?

Thank you, and try to make the above changes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.91.94.228 (talk) 16:45, 31 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I just noticed that in the french wikipedia article of TOGO, there is a more updated population and population desity statistics. According to the french version, this is the statistics: Rank 106th 5,399,236 people 95 people/km² Extimated 2006

I don't exactly know how to convert people/km² into people/miles², nor do i know how to edit this on wikipedia (properly). I also am really busy and don't have the time to figure out how to edit several articles and their statistics.

I just thought I should point out that they need to be updated. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Anonymous (May 10, 2007),

Normal size!

I recently made an OMC map of Togo for the Geography of Togo article and noticed, while consulting other maps, including those already in the article, that there seems to be a disagreement over the alignment of the border between Togo and Ghana. The question is about the land inside an oxbow found at 9°38′N 0°18′E (see map).

OMC shows this as part of Togo, as do the relief map in the article and the CIA map in the main Togo article, but GoogleEarth says that it's part of Ghana, with the border cutting across the neck of that bit of territory. This is also what the satellite image shows. GoogleEarth also says that there is a village there called Butoe. Is it Ghanaian or Togolese?

Would anyone happen to know whether this represents an ongoing territorial dispute between Togo and Ghana, or perhaps a recent border change agreement? Or is it simply a mistake made by a mapmaker somewhere? I would appreciate any light that anyone could shed on this question, as I would like to adjust the OMC map accordingly. Also, if one of those political situations that I mentioned actually is the case, I think the Togo and Ghana articles should mention it.

Thanks. Kelisi 19:24, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When rivers change course slowly and imperceptibly, the border changes to suit.

When rivers change course suddenly and even overnight (such as a meander being cut off at its narrow neck), the border remains on the old course, so that people and property now on the wrong side remain under their old jurisdictions. See Mississippi for examples. Tabletop (talk) 04:33, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Geography of Togo, answered there. --Martin H. (talk) 15:20, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A Google search for "Togo" matches "To Go" as in "Works ready to go."

== Neautrality?

This section doesn't seem entirely neutral to me, thought I'd bring it up:

Political unrest, including private and public sector strikes throughout 1992 and 1993, jeopardized the reform program, shrank the tax base, and disrupted vital economic activity. The 12 January 1994 devaluation of the currency by 50% provided an important impetus to renewed structural adjustment; these efforts were facilitated by the end of strife in 1994 and a return to overt political calm. Progress depends on increased openness in government financial operations (to accommodate increased social service outlays) and possible downsizing of the military, on which the regime has depended to stay in place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.245.107.176 (talk) 01:03, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am attempting to open discussions on the talk pages of several articles, concerning the style used to begin the article. The overwhelming majority of articles about nations begin with the country's most commonly used name, and then subsequently list the official name(s). WP:PLACE seems to state that this is the preferred style. A discussion I began at Wikipedia talk:MOS hasn't seemed to reach consensus. I feel that we should follow the style generally used unless there is a specific reason to make an exception. Is there any objection to changing the first sentence of this article to: "Togo, officially the Togolese Republic..."? Joefromrandb (talk) 03:36, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have made this change, after receiving no objection. This edit, as well as the capitalization of "West Africa", appear in the page history as being made by an anonymous user. Please note that this was I. Apparently I had logged out without realizing it. It was also I who removed the inappropriate picture on this page, per previous notice. My apologies for any confusion. Joefromrandb (talk) 22:11, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At least according to French_Union, the French Union ceased to exist before 1959, contrary to what is currently written under the history of Togo. I am not sure which source is mistaken, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Shemesh999 (talk) 14:20, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In reading the section on Togolese football, much of the content seems repetitive or disjointed. I don't know how frequently edited this page is, but I'd like to give that section a bit of a fix. Would anyone mind? Medusalith Boltagon (talk) 07:41, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I cleaned it up a bit. Remember, Be Bold, if you see a change to be made, go ahead and make it. Vettrock (talk) 10:00, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• This tag is dated 2010. There have been hundreds of edits since then. I am assuming that the concerns expressed by this tag have been mostly resolved. Should the tag be removed? Your comments will help either way.
