For starters, that's not how you would adopt this page, if that's what you're referring to. You need to ask if you may do so if it does not have an adoption template on it. No matter, I suppose.

Pre-Doomsday history is generally limited on Doomsday nation articles to 3 or 4 small paragraphs, much less than you've included here - and under a single heading.

Hmm, I saw the rule that says it's open if the creator is gone more than 4 months, but no one's complained. I'll follow those guidelines in the future.

Okay. But because the stronato is a much more pivotal event in Paraguayan history than Doomsday, and because 1983 was during the stronato, I'm leaving the headings as is. Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 07:42, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

You are still supposed to ask both on this page and on the talk page of the creator - the creator being gone for that long means you can ask. Just because a page is open does not mean that you have permission to adopt it without asking. But, you are correct - no one has complained about you adopting it, and even I am more concerned about the manner.

The rule itself, according to the Doomsday guidelines, for in the future is:

"Sometimes real life causes editors to go missing, leaving their articles with no one to update them. Due to the nature of the timeline, its unrealistic to allow articles to remain unchanged while the history of this world marches on. So if an editor has been missing for three months, another editor can adopt his articles. We ask that the adopting editor make an attempt to contact the missing editor by leaving a message on his or her talk page. If the missing editor does not respond in one week the adopting editor can safely become the new caretaker of the article in question."

While we all do have our own styles with organizing our work on nations in Doomsday, the general practice is to not have sections like that under a pre-Doomsday history - that should likely be labeled as such, by the way - except for one covering Doomsday itself. Your "Stronato" section is not needed, and interrupts the flow of the article - it should be divided into three parts, one before, one at, and one after, Doomsday.
