Hello, I'm Boud. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. , you introduced material that was not in the sources, and not very relevant to the topic. There is no need to "allege" that the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission is state affiliated. It does exist formally as an independent agency of the Ethiopian federal state. Sourced information for or against the EHRC's independence in practice would be good to add to the article. The "ethnicity" of individuals in the EHRC is most likely to be irrelevant. Boud (talk) 23:36, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Amnesty International referred to only three ethnic Amhara witnesses and this should be mentioned. Employees at amnesty international who wrote the report were Ethnic Amhara and this has to be included. The victims of maikadira massacre were not Ethnic Amhara, they were in fact Ethnic Tigrayans.

EHRC is state-affiliated with most of its employees, including its leader Daniel Bekele are Ethnic Amhara and this has to be mentioned.

Many Ethiopians and opposition parties question the credibility of EHRC and this has to be mentioned.

If you don't accept this just wait until a team from the united nation investigate the massacre and reaches a conclusion. The Maikadira massacre is completely ambiguous.


 * hi Kahsayg. I think that the Mai Kadra massacre article does need some updates, but that cannot be based on hearsay or rumours, especially if they are just the opinions of Wikipedians (including me). Please have a look through WP:OR. Unless a notable source says that the ethnicity of investigators of a reasonably well-known human rights organisation is significant, then that's not significant. If a human rights organisation made errors, then those errors should be properly attributed.


 * Given that your edits were reverted by someone other than me, see the be bold, revert, discuss cycle. Now you should present your reasoning at the talk page in a new section: Talk:Mai Kadra massacre. The aim is that the article should present the information with a neutral point of view based on the best sources that we have available. The other editor currently involved currently sees me as non-neutral, so the discussion may be difficult, but it's unavoidable. My feeling is that if all involved make an effort to understand each other's proposed edits, then a consensus for particular edits may emerge. Please also make some effort to start learning some of the Wikipedia policies and guidelines. You are not expected to instantly learn everything, but you are expected to make an effort and to learn (which applies to me too, of course).


 * I agree with your overall conclusion that the question of perpetrators and victims in the massacre is currently confused; the Wikipedia article should describe the situation in as clear a way that we can based on the sources available, but without trying to attack the reputations of individuals based on rumours or suggesting that ethnicity makes them biased.
