December 2009[edit]

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about, as your edit history shows you haven't been here very long, and have not made edits to Oromo people. Perhaps you were not logged in when I left a message for you? Did I make a particular edit that you are concerned about? Note that this is a wiki and dozens (or hundreds) of different people have worked on that article. Also, while I endeavor to make sure that my own contributions are both true, neutral, and verifiable, note that Wikipedia's verifiability policy says "the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth — that is, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true." Again, many other editors have worked on the article, and given this policy, I think the result is that an article might be very well sourced but will slant toward one PoV or another (see the Meles Zenawi article, for example). Thank you. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:59, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't even edited the article in question (link) so I still don't know what specific edit(s) you mean. I think it's safe to say that no one is happy with the article. If you can cite sources for what you want to add to the article, then I would suggest that you propose what you want to do at Talk:Oromo people where other editors can weigh in. Myopically yours, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 02:31, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 17:45, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

March 2010[edit]

I am assuming this is the way to respond to your comment. I am an Ethiopian with background history in the subject matter. I can not cite material to you because I am the source of the material(elementary and secondary education) as well as liturgical education(hagiographic records of the Ethiopian Orthodox church). I know a mistake when I see it. I have tried to correct it. I can sign the material if you wish me too and my apologies for forgetting to do so yesterday but I can't cite something until I author a book and it isn't likely I will do that every time I see some material or embellishment that has an error in it.

Please see Wikipedia:Verifiability and WP:SELFCITING. You need not (and should not) add your signature in articles (assuming that's what you meant). I appreciate your efforts in any case. Thanks, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 18:26, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

March 2010[edit]

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Solomonic dynasty. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Gyrofrog (talk) 15:55, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
