Awesome format. I don't have time to implement a similar format here, today. If anyone else does, that'd be awesome. MrZaius^talk 17:46, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, this would probably be easier to work with: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Secretary_General_of_the_Organization_of_the_Petroleum_Exporting_Countries&oldid=40581421

Addressed in the current version. —Patrug (talk) 12:13, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

Is it possible we could get some sources for this info? Not trying to be rude, but this page has none. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.254.31.220 (talk) 20:12, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Omar & Abdallah el-Badri[edit]

The 1970 Secretary General of OPEC was Libya's Omar el-Badri (1937–2010), and the long-serving current Secretary General is Libya's Abdallah Salem el-Badri (born 1940). OPEC seems to have maintained a careful silence about any family connection between these two el-Badri leaders from Libya. Can anyone find a reliable reference stating whether the two men were brothers, half-brothers, cousins, or maybe not known relations? —Patrug (talk) 12:13, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:List of Secretaries General of the Western European Union which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 16:17, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
