What next for capital "T" in The Gambia? edit

I'm starting a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#What next for The Gambia? about how to followup on the RfC which changed Wikipedia style to use a capital "T" for The Gambia mid-sentence and mid-article title. Please participate in the discussion there. Thank you,  SchreiberBike | ⌨  04:03, 22 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

The RfC was later changed to "no consensus". The discussion referenced above is now archived at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 227#What next for The Gambia?. I should have noted that change here when the closure was changed; my apologies for any confusion. SchreiberBike | ⌨  00:49, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Article for company names that end with "Corporation" edit

Should companies whose full name end with "Corporation" be written with an article (at least in the first sentence of the lead section)?

This is true for IBM ("The International Business Machines Corporation [...]"), but not so for Nvidia or Microsoft ("Nvidia Corporation [...]" and "Microsoft Corporation [...]"), for example.-- Maxeto0910 (talk) 00:48, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

I don't think we could make a general rule; usage is too varied. I'd look at reliable independent sources and follow them. SchreiberBike | ⌨  11:31, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
