Deletion of Misinformation about Injera

As a native of the place where Injera originated, I felt that you have inadvertently misinformed the public at large. A case in point is the comparison between Injera,Canjeelo, and Laxoox. Without providing a citation you claimed that the three are the same.In fact, it seems that you sought help on the matter as I can see from the corrected and re-wrote version by other "expert" on the matter. Finally, I want to know why is true to say fry Injera not make Injera. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhaile (talk • contribs) 12:48, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

For the logical one, a source of informations is as important as the informations itself. so, it is important that I mention my source of information as being my own testimony than claiming without evidence. It seems to me that you have anointed yourself to be the page "administer" without needed knowledge. Go a ahead and ban me; you can afford to be a paper tiger. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhaile (talk • contribs) 14:35, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

William Lynch speech - verifiability is not possible

I am not trying to be inflammatory, but there are so many things that are not verifiable in the original article regarding the William Lynch speech and those should either be deleted from the article or a different point of view should be posted there. Please verify for me the statement that the terms "'light-' or 'dark-skinned'originates long after the alleged date of this speech. There is no way to prove that since black people were not keeping written records at the time. Any attempts to "prove" what did or did not exist by way of written historial documentation is a futile effort and therefore, many arguments put forth by people disputing black oral traditions should allow those oral traditions to be stated alongside what is "believed" or thought to be true by non-whites. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.252.134.148 (talk) 14:29, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Ogaden national liberation front

I want to know why you are deleting my edit of the Ogaden National liberation front page. I believe I have written a far more detailed explanation of the organization. The only source you are putting up is pro TPLF source if not TPLF source entirely.

It's important that you not paint the ONLF as a terrorist organization which is what you seem to be doing. Allegations made by the TPLF aren't the truth. Secondly OHRC is completely independent of the ONLF. You have no evidence to suggest the contrary but you deliberately make the accusation that it's a ONLF mouthpiece. You links are titled "onlf throws grenade into crowd" "onlf massacres 65" these are all loaded comments.

I see that you are also involved with other Ethiopian related articles and you have a pro TPLF stance. Like i said you have to be impartial and only write about the truth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkfarah (talk • contribs) 00:26, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't know how to write on Wikipedia that's why i haven't been able to site the sources. I'm learning but the garbage that's up there is complete none sense. It promotes TPLF propoganda who are the real terrorist of the entire region. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkfarah (talk • contribs) 00:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Lydia Hearst Page

Just wanted to let you know that all the information that was placed on this site about Lydia Hearst-Shaw is entirely accurate. I am new to wikipedia. But I can tell you that there is no misinformation placed on the site. There are images of Lydia as the face of the fashion campaigns all over the internet and magazines, as well as newspaper sources documenting her contribution. Her Infobox, should be a model info box, not actor as she is a model. See Lily Cole, Lydia's Info box is entirely accurate. Her agencies, they all have websites, if you doubt her representation at any, feel free to view their websites. In multiple interviews she has stated the start of her career being with Steven Meisel and her success with working with the other world famous photographers. There are also over 200 publications and web-sites that discuss the success of the Puma Lydia Bag, and how there is a new one coming out as soon as this Christmas. All the information is entirely accurate and can be found all over the internet and news publications and magazines. I just thought you should know, because it is stupid for you to delete facts and me to put them up. I guarantee that it is all accurate —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.86.52.100 (talk) 15:14, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

if I didn't know better, I would think you have a strange and unnatural obsession or dislike with Lydia Hearst. Why do you care what is in her wikipedia page anyhow?

proof of everything was written, which you deleted... all her measurements and images can be found on these web pages... because these are the agencies the represent her www.1modelmanagement.com www.independenttalent.com www.fordmodelseupe.com www.beatrice.it

take a look..... http://www.askmen.com/women/models_300/360c_lydia_hearst.html http://www.frillr.com/?q=node/2699 http://www.celebritymound.com/?cat=445

also, if you are a member of FACEBOOK, Lydia Hearst has an account that displays almost all of her modeling images from covers to campaigns, editorials and biography http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=26902515 http://nymag.com/fashion/models/lhearst/lydiahearst/ http://www.thefashionspot.com/forums/f52/lydia-hearst-4886-20.html

her work with Puma, is all over the press and various news publications. So, if you haven't heard anything about it, you should stay off her page because you clearly know nothing. http://styleit.wordpress.com/2007/05/31/more-lydia-hearst-for-puma/ http://cornedbeefhash.wordpress.com/2007/06/08/puma-and-lydia-hearst-team-up-again/ http://www.fashionweekdaily.com/news/fullstory.sps?iNewsid=432301

Also, if you happened to pick up the premier issue of Page Six Magazine, Lydia Hearst is set to be next weeks cover girl and their newest columnist

Oromia official language

You recently change the oromia regional state official langauge from Afaan Oromo to Amharic. I fear that you either dont know or change it on purpose. I am going to change it to Afaan Oromo please try to keep it that way. thanks! --Calala 22:32, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Oromo Liberation Front

You have been changing information on oromo liberation front for unknown reasons. As I have read on your page you are married to Ethiopian women, my be you are trying to impress your wife by feeding wrong information about oromo to the public. You should leave your personal life behind when you are on public. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calala (talk • contribs) 22:47, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Response at User talk:Calala. -- Gyrofrog 22:57, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I am writing this note regarding your recent reply to the comment I sent you about OLF and Oromia's official langauge. You said your last edit about OLF was revoming links that didnt work. From the way I understand you didnt only remove links but also added baseless accusation on OLF. basical what I am saying is you added things like bagalla massacre and some other non sense things. I advise you to stop these activities for the sake of your own reputation on wikipedia.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Calala (talk • contribs) 23:16, 2 October 2007

I did not write the information about the Bagalla massacre, though I have probably restored the text at one point or another. Note that the text in question cites its sources, but has been subject to removal on several occasions. Other than that, you'll have to be more specific regarding my involvement with that article, which has had more to do with upkeep than actually adding content (you can check the article's history). If you have problems with that article in general, then it would be better to bring these up at Talk:Oromo Liberation Front, rather than on my talk page.

Misinformation About the ONLF

It's becoming very clear that you are spreading TPLF propoganda all over Wikipedia. You have recently edited the ONLF article, yet again, to fit more with the TPLF agenda of trying to discredit the ONLF. You present one side information. All your sources come from Ethiopian government websites (TPLF websites). You claim that the ONLF killed "4 school children" and you use an article by Pham as you source. Peter Pham is a washington lobbiest that is under contract by the TPLF. This is a well known fact. Non of the information he ever presents is credible. This is a well known fact. Secondly you seem to present TPLF "allegation" as being facts. You write that the ONLF 'killed' the ONLF 'threw a grenade' the ONLF is a 'terrorist organization' all without any facts. These are all allegations. Infact it has been verified that the TPLF threw that grenade into the crowd to blame it on the ONLF. You don't mention the somali genocide in Ogaden being committed by the TPLF regime. You refer to the TPLF figure head as 'Prime Minister' Meles Zenawi. It is a dictatorship and an occupation. It would be appreciated if you keep your misleading and dangerous propoganda from this article.Mkfarah 00:46, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Response at User talk:Mkfarah. I've advised this user that future accusations of "spreading TPLF propoganda [sic]" (or similar) will be treated as personal attacks. -- Gyrofrog 16:31, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Please delete my userpage

Hi Gyrofrog, another editor has unwillingly forced a homepage on me, I do not want one, could you please delete it? Thanks Til Eulenspiegel 17:20, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Overly aggressive user

I am writing to inform an admin about an overly aggressive user who consistently disobeys civility rules. VegitaU cannot make an kind of correction or apply a tag without harassing other users, and constantly threatens with having someone blocked. Since he's not an admin, this is an empty threat, but it's inappropriate, nonetheless. Thanks, JaMikePA 20:14, 14 October 2007 (UTC).

If this is still an issue, then please be more specific (e.g., provide some diff links). In the future, WP:AN/I would be a better place to present this type of issue (rather than notifying only a few administrators on their respective talk pages). Thanks. -- Gyrofrog 17:17, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Burroughs' Jajouka letter

I wanted to let you know that this Jajouka/Joujouka dust-up has been ongoing for quite some time. I take no side on the matter, and my only concern is the accuracy of articles related to the subject. But, long-term edit warring has been the scenario. Attempts at reconciliation have failed. I felt you should be aware of this. Cheers! ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 16:37, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm aware of the long-term dispute. It probably needs to go through another formal channel but I, for one, do not have the time nor the energy. Thanks. -- Gyrofrog 17:17, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I was not certain if you knew about that. I agree with you that some form of mediation needs to take place, but I haven't the desire, personally, to take part. I just watch for edit-warring, and revert changes that seem ideologically-motivated. Thanks for your reply. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 18:03, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

BKLisenbee, if User:RepublicanJacobite's comment is incorrect, then leave a statement to that effect, but please don't modify his (nor other editors') comments. Having said that, I would prefer that this dispute play itself out somewhere other than my user talk page. Thank you. -- Gyrofrog 20:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Las Anod

• Battle of Las Anod - for Somaliland's victory, see aljazeera's reference: Troops from the breakaway Somali republic of Somaliland have seized a village inside a rival region loyal to the interim Somali president, killing at least 10 people. The reference is already in the article, among others confirming that. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 22:28, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
• Your reverts to Las Anod article seem OK, no need for the POV tag.
• Cheers,--TheFEARgod (Ч) 22:28, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I guess the PoV dispute has more to do with calling it "Somaliland" at all (vs. "Somalia"). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 23:48, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

What is disputed is the notion of Somaliland, which is not a country nor it is recognized as such by any world organzations. So for anyone to call a city in Somalia, Somaliland victory or land is repugnant. It is a clan disagrees (much like the civil war) and which clan has what land. Nothing more, nothing less. It is a city in Somalia, and will stay a city in Somalia till the end of times.
