-With the Libyan head of state back in the news - but for how long? - I think it is worth opening the can of worms of how we are going to spell his name here. ''If you start a full article, please don't create a metadata page or redirects yet!'' :)
-As a Brit, the one I am most familiar with is '[[Muammar Gaddafi]]', which is [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12488278 what the BBC uses]. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] 09:56, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
-:I myself tend to avoid it by saying "Head of state of Libya" or the like. I have no idea what should be definitive.  I'll check, but I don't think the [[United States intelligence community]] is always consistent (toward him; nothing else assumed).  I could make some phone calls later in the week.
-The World Factbook uses Muammar Abu Minyar al-QADHAFI, with the strange American bureaucratic convention of capitalizing surnames. I think the Factbook still is in CIA, but the National Open Source Center may be doing something different. Maybe we can agree on his first name. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C.
