The categories are automatically added via a maintenance template. As they were red links, I went ahead and created them. Of course, the categories would still function as red links. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 15:20, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit conflict!

Wow, I made the exact same edit at almost the same time (removing the word "Sadly" which is also a dangling modifier) but you beat me to it! Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 14:11, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great minds, etc. ;-) -- Gyrofrog 14:14, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:CompleteBitchesBrewSessionsCover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:CompleteBitchesBrewSessionsCover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 11:40, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the fair use rationale. -- Gyrofrog 14:52, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Section order

Hi Gyrofrog - I hope you don't mind, but I moved the Bibliography section in the Paul Tanner article back above the Reference section. According to WP:LAYOUT guidelines any works or publications are to appear before the references or notes section. --Jezebel'sPonyo^shhh 14:00, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Injera

I would like to point out that laxoox and canjeroo is not the same type of bread as injera. Canjeroo is not made out of teff flour therefor it should not be considered as injera. I looked up injera in the dictonary and it says " injera Ethiopean; flat bread made from teff flour fermented for 30–72 hours with a starter from a previous batch." It clearly also states that it is not made in the same way as laxoox and that real injera is made out of teff flour. http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O39-injera.html

Therefore injera should not be confused with (Canjeroo or laxoox). I also would like to point out that (Laxoox, Canjeroo)is eaten as a breakfast meal in Somalia with tea and sugar. I also have sources to claim this. http://nutritionweek.nutritionaustralia.org/docs/high-school/breakfast-world-answers.pdf

Also if you go on the page somali cuisine you can read about canjeroo - it says " The main dish is typically a pancake-like bread (canjeero) similar to Ethiopian injera but smaller and thinner. Canjeero is eaten in different ways, it may be broken into small pieces and ghee (subag) and sugar added. For children it is mixed with tea and sesame oil (macsaaro) until mushy". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisine_of_Somalia

Now i can confirm that (Canjeroo or laxoox) is not made in the same way as injera, it does not have the same ingredience as injera, it is not consumed like injera. Therefore it should not be called injera.

And about tradition, injera is traditionally eaten in Ethiopia and in Eritrea. I can confirm this by giving sources http://www.fact-archive.com/encyclopedia/Injera

I do understand that (canjeroo or laxoox), and eaven injera maybe consumed in other coutrys such as yemen and somalia but i can gaurentee you that they dont have a tradition in eatin this meal as Ethiopians and Eritreans do as i lived in the region for over 15 years. As graduate from 5 years in university i can tell you that if you want to claim something or edit something, you must have a source if not, you cant go around and make things up.

Still users as Kintetsubuffalo are not respecting this, and refuses to discuss this under injera. The only thing he tries to do is revert edits, how come he dont get blocked even tho he reverted the article five times?!
