Yes, yes. But there's never been any doubt in my mind about the case in
question: I assumed [[Côte d'Ivoire]] is it, [[Ivory Coast]] would be a
redirect, and if you go to the UN in New York you find the place reserved
for Côte d'Ivoire.
The argument on the page that _other encyclopedias_ go for Côte d'Ivoire is
actually worth several cartloads of the rather grisly populist rhetoric this
is collecting.
