Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, List of emperors of Ethiopia. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. Le Marteau (talk) 21:31, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

My removal comments were valid. The inclusion of the house of savoy is revisionist history. I will be making my complaints public. Mentewab (talk) 21:21, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

The statement seems to be backed up by RS cited, and the WP article here also provides reliable sources on the topic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Emmanuel_III_of_Italy). See this section:

"Emperor of Ethiopia

King Victor Emmanuel III in his uniform as Marshal of Italy in 1936 Prior to his government's invasion of Ethiopia, Victor Emmanuel travelled in 1934 to Italian Somaliland, where he celebrated his 65th birthday on 11 November.[30][31] In 1936, Victor Emmanuel assumed the crown as Emperor of Ethiopia. His decision to do this was not universally accepted. Victor Emmanuel was only able to assume the crown after the Italian Army invaded Ethiopia (Abyssinia) and overthrew Emperor Haile Selassie during the Second Italo-Abyssinian War.

Ethiopia was annexed to the Italian Empire. The League of Nations condemned Italy's participation in this war and the Italian claim by right of conquest to Ethiopia was rejected by some major powers, such as the United States and the Soviet Union, but was accepted by Great Britain and France in 1938. In 1943, Italy's possession of Ethiopia came to an end.

The term of the last acting Viceroy of Italian East Africa, including Eritrea and Italian Somaliland, ended on 27 November 1941 with surrender to the allies. In November 1943 Victor Emmanuel renounced his claims to the titles of Emperor of Ethiopia and King of Albania,[32] recognizing the previous holders of those titles as legitimate."

It's definitely all right if you disagree, but could we discuss it on the talk page of the article first? Many thanks. VickKiang (talk) 22:26, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Your source is not an Ethiopian source. We will go public with this. Wikipedia - gatekeepers of a white supremacist narrative. Mentewab (talk) 23:39, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. If you could provide me with the sources you are referring to from Ethiopia this will be great. Please remember to adhere to WP: Civility before disputes. Many thanks. VickKiang (talk) 00:14, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
