Flag

Greetings! It was nothing political - the flag was listed as an ethnic flag [1]. Cheers-- Soupforone (talk) 02:49, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks I see you are a Goodwilled editor! I was stating the flag is a political flag and not an ethnic flag. Trace the source and you will see a political flag.Authorityofwiki (talk) 02:51, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you're right it is a political/state emblem, but there's also an ethnic component to the flag [2]. Anyway, point taken. Cheers-- Soupforone (talk) 03:06, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

dont follow my edits around its not allowed here. Duqsene (talk) 19:25, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can edit any article within Wikipedia guidelines if I deem it needs attention. If better sources are provided then I am willing to accept the changes.Authorityofwiki (talk) 03:22, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

read this wp:hound last warning. Duqsene (talk) 20:06, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You should stop harassing me. I am not hounding you. I am editting articles which are incorrect. Stop threatening me. I am following the correct process of Wikipedia guidelines, per the wp:hound, "Correct use of an editor's history includes (but is not limited to) fixing unambiguous errors or violations of Wikipedia policy, or correcting related problems on multiple articles.". I have only been fixing unambiguous errors, sorry but some of the sources you used are either contradictory or very ambiguous.Authorityofwiki (talk) 20:08, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shortcut

WP:HA#NOT

, Per this shortcut to What is Not Harassment(hounding). I am not hounding you. I am within Wikipedia guidelines when it comes to editting articles. You personally do not own those Articles and therefore I can edit those articles. Authorityofwiki (talk) 20:41, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There's a difference between fixing errors and disregarding sources because you are upset about my comments. If your concerns were genuine you would wait for a reply before opening an rfc. Duqsene (talk) 20:57, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What is your problem? I posted an rFc because I want neutral editors. You seem adamant about "Avalites" being "Havilah". If you notice, the source you used, Havilah is used on the Arabian (Eastern Coast) and all throughout the Map. That is a questionable source for it to be used as a "source" for claiming that "Zeila" = "Havilah" or that "Avalites" = "Havilah". Havilah is a Hebrew word so is in effect incorrect to apply to Zeila because, Zeila is in a Cushitic-speaking terriroty of the Somalis, Issas, Afars, etc. It sounds like Original Research. My behavior or editting is within Wikipedia Guidelines.Authorityofwiki (talk) 22:17, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please understand what original research is. Original research is when content does not reflect what the citation says. The references of Zaila and Havilah are abundunt therefore its not original research. Duqsene (talk) 22:26, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I know what Original Research is. Making the claim that "Havilah" = "Avalites" or Avalites = Havilah is original research because Havilah is used in broader terms than just the "Avalites" mentioned in the Eritrean Peripleus. Again, I will wait for the neutral editors to see what the source and the claims you are making will result in. Authorityofwiki (talk) 22:32, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. LeGabrie (talk) 19:26, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Where is this discussion? And you did not even send ONE Warning prior to going to this board? You are misusing Wikipedia to personally attack me and then you make attacks on "Eritrean nationalists"..etc, that is very Racist of you! Authorityofwiki (talk) 19:44, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion is now up. I warned you several times to not change my edits until you provide references that proof your claims. Furthermore, you broke the "three-revert rule". LeGabrie (talk) 20:39, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You never warned me At ALL on My Talkpage per Wikipedia guidelines. You went straight for the Nuclear Option (Noticeboard). Quit Lying. I know that you didn't and the history of your Edits show you that you are Lying here. Authorityofwiki (talk) 20:44, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

*[3] "6) Undo my changes without references yet again and I might report you."
*[4] "For the last time: Provide a source for that that the Medri Bahri kingdom outlived the imprisonment of Woldemichael."
Who is lying here? :) LeGabrie (talk) 21:28, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I already provided sources and you did not warn me on my talkpage (that is the process). You ignored(intentionally) my sources which I linked in my edits. Authorityofwiki (talk) 21:58, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

1) Curb your accusations. 2) Where in your sources is it stated that Medri Bahri as a kingdom survived the imprisonment of Woldemichael? The entry is about the kingdom, you have to provide a source that it survived 1879 as a political entity. 3) Where in your sources is it stated that Italian Eritrea is the direct successor of Medri Bahri as a kingdom? I would really like to know that, because I just read of Ethiopian occupation after 1879. LeGabrie (talk) 22:19, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thats it right, Ethiopian occupation after 1879 and Italian Eritrea doesn't even come into your attention as a successor of Medri Bahri? Seriously, your edits have been disgustingly Dismissive of Eritrean view of Eritrea's history. Medri Bahri is made of the ERITREAN PEOPLE that Live in ERItrea to this day, SAME VILLAGES, SAME TOWNS, SAME CITIES, SAME DNA FLOWS in the modern Eritreans as those of Medri Bahri, do you understand what PEOPLE means? Or do the People of Eritrea NOT COUNT as Human Beings with their Own History? If so, then your edits are Racist and you are a Racist of possibly French origin...! So NO King or non-King will remove the history of Medri Bahri from Modern Day Eritreans....Accept it or not, it is a FACT to every Eritrean that has a Tie to Medri Bahri (just another name for Kebessa (Highlands)!) and your Bahrnegash is the only Determinant of whether it exists or not is Nonsense logic to prove your Abyssinian(Ethiopian) biased view of Eritrean history! Authorityofwiki (talk) 22:24, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I respect Eritrean history enough to not try to reforge it, but yet again: The Medri Bahri KINGDOM, about which the entry is, was ABOLISHED in 1879, end of story. Thus its lifespan should be displayed as "15th century-1879". Obviously 1879 was not the end of the Eritrean struggle against Ethiopia, but it was the end of Medri Bahri as a KINGDOM. OK? LeGabrie (talk) 22:40, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree with your last statement because you have not gone into this part of the history, and all you have done is stuck with just one of your sources and made the conclusion you made (synthesis). Authorityofwiki (talk) 01:24, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Bahre Negashi (Lord of the Sea). Title of the governor of the central Eritrean area (...) often referred to as Mareb Mellash (aka Medri Bahri). (...) The last Bahre Negashi was Wolde-Mika'el Solomon, who died in exile in Ethiopia" (Connel & Killion, p. 111-2). Now give a source that backs your view, for the 400th time. LeGabrie (talk) 10:27, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[5] He was "fiercely and successfully" opposed by the local inhabitants of Medri-Bahri (1998, Roy Pateman, p. 40). So his brief violent occupation of Asmara and his raids of the territories of the MedriBahri PEOPLE(HUMAN BEINGS) is not a succession of Medri Bahri, the people of Medri Bahri fought him until the successor state of Italian Eritrea. Again you have been putting undue weight for this warlord massmurder Ras Alula as if thats it. And your logic, which completely your own conclusion is that the King = the People when it comes to a country. That is your logic and people resisting a foreign invader means their Country is still their Country. Authorityofwiki (talk) 18:30, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Is that so fucking hard to comprehend for your brain? The entry is about Medri Bahri as a KINGDOM KINGDOM KINGDOM KINGDOM KINGDOM. No fucking shit did the Eritreans survived the imprisonment of the last Bahr Negash and continued their fighting, but that is absolutely irrelevant. The Visigoths also continued to fight against the Arabs after their KINGDOM KINGDOM KINGDOM KINGDOM was gone, yet the enddate for the Visigothic KINGDOM KINGDOM KINGDOM is always given with 711-c. 720, when all state organization has collapsed. Can you follow that analogy? Or is that still to much for you to understand? You also used your reference for proving that the Italians were the "successors", but we have already seen that this is not mentioned there. Also, it doesn't matter if Ethiopia occupied Eritrea only for a couple of years. I already redirected you to the entry for Nazi Germany, where "Occupied Germany" and "Occupied Austria" are listed as successors. In the entry for French Third Republic you can also see the "German Military Administration" as successor. Your analogy to the Ethiopian Empire and the Italian occupation is also irrelevant, because at least it continued with all its institutions in exile.
Geez. Because of people like you Wikipedians quit editing, and I am thinking about quiting my work on Medri Bahri too. Then you can revert all my changes and make the entry the subpar stub it was before I started editing it. Wouldn't that be what you want? LeGabrie (talk) 20:13, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's all you have? Then you used a weasel-worded response to the Italian Occupation of Ethiopia which is exactly the same as the Ras Alula(Ethiopian Tigrayan) occupation of Asmara, exactly the same example yet you used a "they were in exile"...Yea you might do better in a different article where you have this much animosity to "Eritrean nationalists" or "Eritrean nationals"...same difference, all of Eritreans are the same to you anyways. Yea go edit something else if you can't accept there is a different opinion to yours. Authorityofwiki (talk) 21:17, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
