Category:Nigerian political parties[edit]
Category:Nigerese political parties[edit]
Should be Category:Nigerien political parties if anything; "Nigerese" isn't a word. And the cat only contains a list, which is just redlinks. --Whosyourjudas (talk) 03:13, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Niger vs Nigeria, how do you keep them separate? Should be Political parties of Nigeria and Political parties of Niger. 132.205.15.42 17:51, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- "Nigerien" for "of Niger" and "Nigerian" for "of Nigeria". But your suggestion also is great. --Whosyourjudas (talk) 03:27, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- When I was 13, my father was the first American chief of diplomatic mission in Niamey (i.e., setting up the embassy before the arrival of our first ambassador). We all ran into this problem constantly. In French, it's properly nigérois (Niger) and "nigérien" (Nigeria); in English, we were using "Nigerese" (Niger) and "Nigerian" (Nigeria). — Bill 22:27, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- According to dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=nigerien Nigerien means the same as Nigerian, and pertains to Nigeria, so using the e is not clear. 132.205.15.4 02:06, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- KEEP, but why not just change the name into Niger political parties and Nigeria political parties. This keeps the alphabetical order with the sister categories. --Gangulf 07:21, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- How about Category:Niger's political parties Category:Nigeria's political parties or Category:Niger political parties Category:Nigeria political parties then? Nigerien is just too fraught with ambiguity. 132.205.45.148 15:52, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- Delete or replace by a category political parties of Niger, as I thought was supposed to be the format? --Martin Wisse 07:38, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- What about just Category:Niger political parties and Category:Nigeria political parties, by analogy with existing Category:Philippines political parties, Category:New Zealand political parties, Category:United States political parties, etc.? -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 23:33, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Agree with Aranel on this one. Nigeria political partiesand Niger political parties look like good solutions. Alternatively we could lobby the Niger (or Nigeria) government to change their country's name :) The same solution - if needed - would work nicely for Congo Republic political parties and Democratic Republic of Congo political parties (rather than Congolese political parties and Congolese political parties, which might be very tricky) Grutness 11:27, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
