Hello, I'm Gyrofrog. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Amhara people, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''We can't cite Wikipedia (see WP:CIRCULAR), although the Menelik II article makes no mention of the subject's ethnicity. Also see previous discussion at Talk:Amhara people.''

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Abram Petrovich Gannibal, you may be blocked from editing. JesseRafe (talk) 22:17, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that in this edit to Tigrayans, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 21:54, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Amhara people. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been undone. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Jim1138 (talk) 18:11, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

You delete content with references with claims on your edit summaries, but you don't back up your claims with wp:reliable sources (RS). Wikipedia needs to be wp:verifiable. Repeating the same edits is called wp:edit warring and can result in a wp:block. Please discuss this in talk:Amhara people. See wp:BRD. Please use references to back up your edits and/or talk. See help:referencing for beginners and help:footnotes. Jim1138 (talk) 18:11, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Amhara people
That section has been there for over two years. I would suggest using a wp:request for comment (RfC) on talk:Amhara people. You need to state your issue clearly and use references to support your arguments. If you do not leave references that can be easily checked (preferably online), your arguments will be ignored. Redoing a second RfC would likely annoy people. You need to to do this in one RfC. See wp:reliable sources, help:referencing for beginners, and help:footnotes.

Haileselase
Several reliables source say he is more Oromo. Here is one quotation extracted from a book published in 1995:


 * "Haile Selassie was more of an Oromo than Amhara, fluent in Oromogna language, which he spoke in private. His paternal grandfather was Oromo, as was his wife Empress Mannan, a Wallo Oromo, thereby making his children even more Oromo.

As the above source says his paternal grandfather (WoldeMikael Gudisa) is an Oromo, therefore he is an Oromo based on the the widely used way (birth place not being one of them) in Ethiopia to determine ethnicity. If we go by the mother's mother side then we would have been including mixed rulling classes in all ethnicgroups notable people.

One more source here Nobles of Oromo decent who ruled Ethiopia also tells about the rulling classes with Oromo ethnicity. — EthiopianHabesha (talk) 15:34, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm EN-Jungwon. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Habesha peoples, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so!

Your recent editing history at Habesha peoples shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:51, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
