Deleting Content without Explanation
@Socialwave597 You have been continuously deleting and editing much content on this page without giving explanation. In some cases, you are even removing factual content such as the mention of Oromo's being mentioned in the 1400's. Why did you delete that for instance? Please explain the deletion of that and in the future, please continue to explain why you are removing or editing content in the editing place designated for explaining why you are editing content. As I notice a lot of debateable content that you edited and/or removed. LeenchaOromia (talk) 01:22, 20 February 2024 (UTC)


 * @LeenchaOromia ? I didn't remove that? It's literally in the history section of the article. If you have any questions about my edits please feel free to ask me here. Socialwave597 (talk) 04:05, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * It seems you have forgotten, but the diff I just linked shows that you removed it. It looks like you did that because it was already mentioned in the history section like you said. But this is exactly why you need to explain why you removed content in the designated edit summary otherwise it is considered a violation of WP:UCR
 * The talk page is not the place to ask questions and explain why you made the edits you made. That is the purpose of the edit summary. I am just suggesting you make use of that in the future LeenchaOromia (talk) 22:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Understood. Socialwave597 (talk) 22:26, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

JUMPp1harm, why are you changing the pictures around?
@JUMPp1harm is there a reason why you are switching the photos around? Abrasax123 (talk) 23:33, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

 * I am not changing the photos around: I am leaving the status quo. I'm more confused as to why you are changing the positions of the photos. Abrasax123 (talk) 00:25, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

 * You are clearly not leaving it the status quo as you first changed the photos position yesterday at 19:56. Abrasax123 (talk) 00:42, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Abrasax123 @JUMPp1harm Can both of you guys stop? You got the Amhara people article locked and now you're trying to get this page locked too. Both of you need to let this go, otherwise a permeant block is imminent. Socialwave597 (talk) 22:29, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

"An Arsi Oromo attending an Irreechaa celebration"
While the bead crown worn by the woman depicted in the photo by user Abrasax123 resembles other availible photos of Oromo bead headwear, the term used to describe it, "Qarma crown," can be found nowhere else on the English speaking internet. Her clothing does not resemble other pictures of Oromo attire availible on wikipedia and elsewhere.

More importantly, I am almost certain that the light skinned woman in the picture is not Arsi/Oromo.

This image should probably get deleted, but I'll leave that to a more experienced editor as I'm not aware of the policy around that. 142.112.183.63 (talk) 05:12, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
