Welcome - Eritrea

Welcome!

Hello, Tron9698, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome!

I see, that You are interested in topic related to Eritrea. it is good, There is not many people here who can do a good job about it.

• You might be interested in articles like Nubia, Meroë, Aksumite Empire? And manny more? Welcome!

But please be patient and please read this introduction first. Well I am christian myself, protestant and I would like to see, that the changes You did in the articles are really true. But it is not important, what I believe and what I wish, to help Wikipedia means we have to remain NEUTRAL, while we are writing it and write only informations which are VERIFIED to be true.

Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Eritrea, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted (undone) by Reo (me).

When an edit is made, other editors have these options: accept the edit, change the edit, or revert the edit. These options may be discussed if necessary.

• Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
• But I believe You want to improve it. Not damage - in that case You must not delete information inside, which was done by many people before this way. Start discussion, why it is wrong, when everyone agrees to it (or most people agree to it) (You reach a consensus) that it would be appropriate to change it.

You do not like this paragraph (in Eritrea article):

Jehovah's Witnesses, the Bahá'í Faith, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and numerous other Protestant denominations are not registered and cannot worship freely. Three named men are known to have been imprisoned since 1994. Additionally, on June 28, 2009 police raided a private home where Jehovah's Witnesses were meeting. Twenty-three were arrested including children as young as two years old. Some of the women and children were later released, however, two children who are now three and four years of age are still imprisoned with their mothers. None have been charged officially or given access to the judicial process. As of July 29, 2010, fifty-two Jehovah's Witnesses have been imprisoned in Eritrea for attending their religious meetings and engaging in religious activity.

In its 2006 religious freedom report, the U.S. State Department named Eritrea a "Country of Particular Concern"(CPC) for the third year in a row.

Why? What is wrong there?

Please write it here (talk page for Eritrea). And people will answer You. Respect their opinion and try to win by arguments.

I Wish You a good luck - and do not delete informations blindly (even if You believe You are right), try to follow rules. I will help You, if You will need an advise - talk to me. Have a good time. Reo ⁺ 19:55, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Merge tags

Do not remove merge tags like you did. I have added it back. If you object to the merge then make your points at Talk:Religion in Eritrea. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 00:40, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of "Bereket mengisteab"

A page you created, Bereket mengisteab, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. Golgofrinchian (talk) 14:24, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

I've restored this article and added references. Thanks, Melchoir (talk) 20:13, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ashenda

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Ashenda requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. JDDJS (talk) 15:29, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ashenda

The article Ashenda has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced and too short to prove notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. JDDJS (talk) 19:00, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Tourism in Somalia

Nomination of Tourism in Somalia for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Tourism in Somalia is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tourism in Somalia until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. LordVetinari (talk) 10:33, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Religion in Eritrea

As per the WP:MOS images should be at the default size. There were to many links to the same article and links to disambiguation pages. I added links to different articles and fixed the disambiguation links. 18:25, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Did you not understand? Links to disambiguation pages should be fixed so they point to the correct article. Multiple links to the same article should be removed, which is what I did. Images should be at the default as per Wikipedia:Image use policy#Displayed image size. Also added links to articles that were not linked to provide assistance to the reader. Yet you removed all that. Why? If there is something you don`t understand then please ask. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 21:10, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

July 2011

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Religion in Eritrea. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 12:57, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Religion in Eritrea. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

In particular, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue edit warring, you may be blocked from editing. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:00, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Edit warring at Religion in Eritrea

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

Per a request for full protection that was submitted at WP:RFPP. EdJohnston (talk) 18:46, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Problems with upload of File:City of Asmara.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:City of Asmara.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Your contributed article, Ethnic groups of Eritrea

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Ethnic groups of Eritrea. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Eritrea#Demographics. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Eritrea#Demographics - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Yunshui 雲水 12:10, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Ethnic groups of Eritrea

Welcome to Wikipedia, thank you for taking the time to create a page here. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you created yourself. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the deletion tag you removed from Ethnic groups of Eritrea. Please do not continue to remove the deletion tag, instead, if you disagree with the deletion, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to the page by clicking this link. Once there, select the button that says Click here to contest this speedy deletion.
2. This will take you to the talk page, where you can make your case by explaining why the page does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do. For further help about the deletion, you could contact the user who first placed the tag or a highly active user who is willingly to help with deletion. This message was left by a bot, so please do not contact the bot about the deletion. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 12:12, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

October 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Tigray-Tigrinya people, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Medri Bahri

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Medri Bahri, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.deqebat.com/SEITE5.HTM.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Medri Bahri, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to contain material copied from http://www.deqebat.com/SEITE5.HTM, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

• If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), version 3.0, or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Medri Bahri with a link to where we can find that note.
• If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:Medri Bahri. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Leave a note at Talk:Medri Bahri saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! CharlieDelta (talk) 23:00, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Regions of Eritrea, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Barentu, Keren and Barka (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:43, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Medri Bahri

Please do not remove the {{copyvio}} template from articles, as you did with Medri Bahri. Your action has been reverted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted, and removing copyright notices will not help your case. You can properly contest the deletion at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. If you are the owner of the material, you may release the material under the Creative Commons and GFDL licenses, as detailed at WP:IOWN. Alternatively, you are welcome to create a draft in your own words at Medri Bahri/Temp. If you continue to insert copyright violations and/or remove copyright notices, you may be blocked from editing.

More copyright problems

I have also removed content from Tsazega, as it was taken from Denison, Edward; Edward Paice (1 October 2007). Eritrea. Bradt Travel Guides. p. 82-83. ISBN 978-1-84162-171-5. and from Bereket Mengisteab, which was copied from [1].

Please carefully review Wikipedia:Copy-paste. You may not copy or closely paraphrase content from other websites unless you can prove that they are public domain or compatibly licensed, and even then you must follow the directions at Wikipedia:Plagiarism.

It is important that all contributors understand our copyright policies, as repeated violations of them lead to accounts being blocked from editing.

If you have any questions about these policies, you are welcome to come by my talk page. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:23, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

When reviewing the Wikipedia:Copy-paste page, please pay attention to what you must do if you want to copy content from one article to another. In looking at your contribution history, I see that you have moved content around in this way. This is all right, but you can't do it unless you meet our licensing conditions, which require noting what you have done at least in edit summary (with a link to the source) and possibly also using the template created for the purpose on the article talk page. Wikipedia:Copy-paste explains a bit more; Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia sets out the situation in full. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:36, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

• The article Ras Woldemikael Selomon has been blanked. Unless permission is provided for the content, it needs to be rewritten, as it copies content from both of its sources ([2], [3]). The template blanking the article has instructions for rewriting, under 'Can you help resolve this issue? There's more advice at Wikipedia:CP#Responding to articles listed for copyright investigation. If you choose to rewrite it, please be careful to do so "from scratch". One of the most frequent problems we see with rewrites is that they copy over content from the article that has been blanked. We can't keep it, if it is a derivative work. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:55, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

• Unfortunately, Ashenda is also affected and has been blanked, as it was created with content from this source. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:59, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Restoring copyright problems

Ashenda has been deleted again. You cannot simply restore the article as it was. If you want to create an article on the subject, you may do so, but you must write it in your own words. For example, your article included the following text:

Ashenda (literally, ‘tall grass’ in Tigrinya) is a festival celebrated in Tigray Region of Ethiopia, the Tigrigna speaking part of Eritrea, and the Amhara Region of Ethiopia.... It is very popular in Tigray and it is observed every year throughout the Region, but its practice has considerably diminished in Eritrea and in fact it is lost in its cities.

This September 2010 source says:

Ashenda is celebrated in Tigray, the Tigrigna speaking part of Eritrea, and the Amhara Region of Ethiopia.... Ashenda is very popular in Tigray and it is observed every year throughout the Region, but its practice has considerably diminished in Eritrea and in fact it is lost in the cities.

Speedy deletion nomination of Eritrean Federation with Tigray

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Eritrean Federation with Tigray, is not in accordance with our policies.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Contests

User:Dr. Blofeld has created Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 01:39, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Invite to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most geography, wildlife and women articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing, whether it's a river in Malawi, a Nigerian footballer, or a South African civil rights activist, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. For those of you who signed up to the North African contest, that will hopefully be held in the new year. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:11, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
