Welcome!

Hello, Abyssurdian, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Edits

Hi! I didn't realize that you were still editing! I'll leave the rest of the article to you. I've been condensing some of the work down to a minimum - I figure after doing that some of the material can be selectively re-added. My recommendation would be to make sure that you're using neutral language - words like prestigious, important, and so on can be seen as subjective to the reader, so it's best to avoid using those. You also want to kind of make sure that you're not including anything that could be seen as too small or fine of a detail for the page, as this should be a very general overview of the history of the college and its individual schools. I wouldn't use caution when going into detail about specific individual aspects unless there's a good amount of non-primary sourcing to justify mentioning it.

• Definitely let me know if you need/want any help on this! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:20, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
• I was alerted that this page contains some copyright violations, so I'll do some more editing. From what I can see offhand, it looks like there's a very large quote used without attribution in the article. It also looks like it could really be re-written in your own words or removed. I'll take a look through it to ensure that there's nothing else. Remember - close paraphrasing is still seen as a copyright issue. I also moved it so we can work on improving the text without that big of a time crunch. --Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:33, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Thank you for bringing awareness to significant Ethiopian figures. Bahru Zewde is a well-established but seemingly under-appreciated Ethiopian historian. Good work! DoGoodResearch (talk) 00:27, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
