![]() I personally despise people playing the race card, but this walks and quacks like an etho-racial issue. I tried Google and hit Togo (film) & Togo (dog), but no Togo (nation) !! I know Americans are ethnocentric, and that there is a generalized dearth of knowledge/interest in geography/geopolitics, but there are English-speakers world-wide who use Wikipedia, and it just boggles the mind that Wiki is 20 years old & there are nations with no page. However, I have to say that I am shocked & dismayed that some African sovereign nations have no article!! Togo!! Please tell me that I am just not searching correctly. My time and other resources are limited, so I don’t create many articles, and knowing my limits, I seldom express expectations that “someone should create” whichever article I don’t find. As I research, I correct as much as possible. I have been gnoming about on the enWikipedia for several years, now, long enough to know that “if one doesn’t see what he/she is looking for, don’t ask why it hasn’t been written/created/corrected, FIX it!” I have drunk the koolaid. I have the immediate impression that I am in the wrong place nevertheless, here goes.
