Why was this moved? Putting "The" in the name of the article is like calling an article on the US "The United States."

Founding

I know the RotS was founded in either 3081 (the year Terra was liberated) or 3082 (because Surrender Your Dreams makes reference to a 3082 law), but I'm not sure which. Anybody? Scaletail 20:33, 3 January 2007 (CST)
