00 I think there was a post by CalifJim that covered this area of inquiry quite remarkably but I don't think I can locate it. Look at the a partical sentence below. Sometimes, I don't quite sure whether or not I should out the article in front of some kind of names, as they appear to be, preceded by the phrase 'known as' or 'called as'. Can you help me? 02 br

01 i 00 But the sunni area known as 01 u 00 the 'triangle of death' 02 u 00 is a longtime Al-Qaida stronghold. 02 i 02 br

00 I think one is allowed to put 'the' because the words in quotation marks are like 'Committee of Scholars', where the existence of the word 'of' necessitate the placement of 'the'. 0-

0 I don't know where Jim's post is either, but yes, put ' 01 i 00 the 02 i 00 ' before the phrase. 0-

0 01 i 00 triangle 02 i 00 is a singular count noun. It must have a determiner. 02 br
00 'triangle of death' is not a proper noun, either, so a possible reason to omit an article is thereby eliminated. 02 br
