  • Angola as a socialist state (1975–1992). This stub is the shortest article I have ever seen about a country, state, empire, or civilization. No country article should be a stub. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  21:43, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is a case regarding bathroom usage rights in schools in the United states. This is the first known case regarding a successful litigant at any level. This ties in with the proposed Maine Bathroom Bill LD 1046 and wider US bathroom bill subject. The case is a notable Trans-rights case in the USA. It needs a lot of help and I am clueless as where to start.
