Talk:Ethiopian presidential election, 2005

I looked around and I could no information about this at all. Where's a source? Who was elected? Everyking 09:29, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
 * It hasn't happened yet. --Merovingian (t) (c) 09:42, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Then the date's wrong. It says August 10 and refers to it in the past tense. Everyking 11:27, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, ack! I'm thinking about the Liberian presidential election, 2005; sorry.  For this election, I couldn't find anything in the way of definite results, but it seems encyclopedic enough.  --Merovingian (t) (c) 11:30, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * How do you know it even happened? Everyking 11:51, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
 * It was linked to from Template:Current events. --Merovingian (t) (c)
 * OK...I think the template may have been mistaken, then. Rulers.com makes no mention of this, and my Google searches turn up nothing. We can't have an article on an election when we have no evidence that it even happened. Apparently presidents in Ethiopia are elected by the parliament, but I still think we'd get some report of it (since the incumbent, Girma Wolde-Giorgis Lucha, is apparently still in office, if there was an election then he must have been re-elected).

I finally got a chance to search Lexis-Nexis about this and there is nothing about any presidential election recently. Certainly not on Aug. 10. Everyking 06:09, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I guess it should be redirected; what do you suggest? --Merovingian (t) (c) 06:58, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Where could we redirect it? Everyking 23:23, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Elections in Ethiopia? --Merovingian (t) (c) 23:41, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I guess that would be OK. At least the easiest solution. I'll go do that. Everyking 00:01, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Fine by me; it's been nice working with you. --Merovingian (t) (c) 00:08, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * As an aside, I found this which says that presidential terms are for 6 years, in which case there won't be another until 2007 (later down the page it says 2008, so I guess either the six is supposed to say seven or '08 is supposed to say '07). Everyking 00:36, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I guess we'll find out in 2007 or 2008, that is if we're all still here. --Merovingian (t) (c) 01:14, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
