Hello friend. Please consider discussing the Tigrayan vs Tgrinyan issue at the article's talk page. Talk:Tigrayans In general, edit warring on Wikipedia is bad, and we do not want to have problems with WP:3RR. Thank you. –Novem Linguae (talk) 23:12, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
I'm sure you are trying to do the right thing with your edits, but your constant reinserting of the Ge'ez family amounts to edit warring, particularly as you are not providing a source. It is not enough that you strongly feel that you have the truth in this matter - in Wikipedia everything needs to be supported by sources. If you cannot provide a reliable source on the Ge'ez family (which you won't, as such sources don't exist), you just cannot make such edits and expect them to not be reverted. If you continue, you will face sanctions, including temporary and even permanent blocks from Wikipedia.
On the matter at hand: I fully understand that Tigrinya speakers have strong feelings about the origins of their language, and that it should be a direct descendent of Ge'ez. But in linguistic terms the situation is more complicated, and a direct descent of Tigrinya from Ge'ez could not be established. There are even historic records of a Tigray population that existed alongside the Ge'ez speakers of the Axumite realm. Apparently both Tigrinya and Ge'ez have a common ancestor, as they are without doubt very closely related. But Tigrinya is not the direct descendent of Ge'ez, and we cannot state this on Wikipedia.

December 2020 edit
Your recent editing history at Tigrinya language shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Semitic languages. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. You've been told repeatedly that it is not okay to change information without providing reliable sources, and you have been blocked before for doing that. Now we see you doing it again, which, if you continue, will lead to longer or even permanent blocks. LandLing 11:27, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution edit
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Eritrea into Tigrinya people. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 12:36, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
Discretionary Sanctions Notice - Horn of Africa edit
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in the Horn of Africa (defined as including Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and adjoining areas if involved in related disputes). Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
