[edit] DR Congo or R Congo?

Lita's birth place is listed as Brazzaville, Democratic Republic of the Congo, but Brazzaville is in Republic of the Congo, not DR Congo. Can anyone confirm (citing references) whether he is indeed from R Congo or DR Congo? Robwingfield ^(talk) 17:33, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I just checked the edit history and can see how this arose. It's both our faults, Rob. The article originally said he was Congolese, but you changed it to DR Congo on August 14, 2005. When I added the infobox (March 26, 2006), I researched his city of birth, but simply copied the country from the main text. From the other sources I can find, it's Brazzaville, Rep of Congo.

Fair enough! I'll accept the lion's share of the blame for that one then...! Thanks for your research. Robwingfield ^(talk) 23:48, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV

"He is a striker of great promise." - is not fact but an opinion. Thousands of players are "of great promise" to somebody or other! (82.35.165.39 23:06, 20 August 2006 (UTC))
