Average temperature at Nokra
Temperatures at Nokra averaged 122 °F (50 °C)-- Over what period of time? What exactly does the source say? Kablammo (talk) 15:47, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I have found a free version of the source,, and page 218 does say that. It in turn is sourced to an affidavit of an Ethopian officer, in connection with investigation into Italian war crimes.  But according to our (cited) article, the highest average daily maximum temperature in all of Africa was in Ethiopia, at 106 F, 41.1 C.  Kablammo (talk) 15:59, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I deleted the claim, leaving in the rest of the sentence about conditions there, including prevalence of sunstroke. I could find maximum temperatures in Ethiopia of 120 or 121 degrees F, but nothing to support averages near that level.  The fact that an affidavit is cited in another source does not make the claim itself reliable.  Kablammo (talk) 20:16, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Plagiarism
Wow, just wow. This complete article, all of it, was copied word-by-word from an article from HAREP: http://www.harep.org/Africa/biography%20-%20Abraha%20Deboch%20and%20Mogos%20Asgedom.pdf The editors should at least try to change some words to try and make it sound more original, at least. --177.230.47.65 (talk) 03:16, 18 January 2020 (UTC)


 * The linked document seems to be from 2012. This is a version of this article in 2011, you can see that the prose has not changed very much since then. I think this may be an instance of a WP:BACKWARDSCOPY. BegbertBiggs (talk) 00:22, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It's a backwards copy. The hyperlinks in the PDF link to Wikipedia, including even the red links. MER-C 19:27, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
