Talk:Cameroun

Why is this redirected?

Why is this redirected? If the British Mandate has its own article, why not the French mandate which constituted over 70% of modern Cameroon?

A redirect seems to be an improvement over an article with so many fundamental errors, but you also could have taken the time to see there was an article on the French mandate, although that might have been difficult to find since this article misspells its name.

The competing articles about the same entity are very confusing. Has any decision been made on this front? If not, I might just take a go at merging them myself, even though I have never done that before. In keeping with the standars of other articles about colonial or currently-non-existent territorial entities, it makes sense to have an article about the colony (Cameroun française/French Cameroon) that is distinct from the article about the current nation of Cameroon, particularly since the British and French examples are very distinct.
