"Defender of the Faith" infobox edit
Is there a source for this? I admittedly don't know much about this subject, but I do know we need a source if one isn't yet provided. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 02:52, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, [1][2] He was acknowledged by the Oriental Churches in their first conference as the "Defender of the Faith" due to his contributions in the unity in the Orthodox churches in 1965. I linked the first source in the Infobox, you could add the Guardian if you want so CtasACT (talk) 04:15, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Others sources by Academic Article The New York Times reports "The King of Kings, Elect of God, Defender of the Faith and Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia" Source: The World so 4 sources in total agree of the Title CtasACT (talk) 04:27, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- OK, from the parts I can readily access, this clearly was seen as one of his titles. Thank you. It probably would be useful to explain how and when this title was conferred to him in the prose. And more cites that are easier to access than a book can't hurt. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 05:21, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Name "Haile Selassie", proper usage? edit
From the way his name is used in much of the article, it seems clear to me that calling him simply "Selassie" is incorrect regardless of circumstances, and that "Haile Selassie" is already the shortest possible form of this name. Is that true?
(I see that my question has interrupted someone else's footnotes; unfortunately I don't know how to fix it.) TooManyFingers (talk) 17:17, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
