[edit] Version 0.5 review

I've tagged this for inclusion in Version 0.5, but this article is noticably incomplete compared to most country articles. Could this be made a priority for improvement? I'll try to post a request in other suitable places. Walkerma 05:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Origniality problem

The intro is very similar to the one in CIA world factbook, it's only slightly longer and there is minimal editing. Could someone who rewrite the intro?--M3rrick 09:29, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed WikiProject

In my ongoing efforts to try to include every country on the planet included in the scope of a WikiProject, I have proposed a new project on Middle Africa at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Middle Africa whose scope would include Gabon. Any interested parties are more than welcome to add their names there, so we can see if there is enough interest to start such a project. Thank you for your attention.

[edit] Pictures

This article needs more pictures of the environment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.252.4.81 (talk) 20:03, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Factual innaccuracy

In the Government section, it states "President El Hadj Omar Bongo Ondimba, in power since 1967 and the longest-serving head of state in the world". I believe that Queen Elizabeth II has served for about 15 years more (since 1952) and is currently serving as the head of state of 16 independent states. Source not reliable (reference #1) or "scope" not correctly considered? Unable to locate referenced remote article to re-read it. pricez (talk) 11:02, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
