Talk:Hachalu Hundessa riots

Accuracy

The internet remains shut down in Ethiopia as of the time of writing. It is likely the article will have major inaccuracies until internet is restored and reliable reports in the international press can be published (and cited). As for now, the article will need to rely on local or diasporic sources of varying reliability. Caveat emptor. --Varavour (talk) 02:07, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

I think it is better now. Cause Wikipedia will take side whether to use pan-Ethiopian or Ethno-nationalist source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.156.68.182 (talk) 09:47, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Gallery images at the last of article

It's unclear and vague that these gallery images are inappropriate to add in the article. The main submission of image is only for protests in various locations, indeed these images represent to a white anonymous individual, who might be non-consistency for photography and there is no descriptional text in the paragraph that he was beaten by the group in first place. It is better whether to describe the images or substitute another protest images. The Supermind (talk) 19:03, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Stop deleting information on Shasemene Massacre

Stop deleting information on Shasemene Massacre against Amharas, Gurages, and Anti-nationalist Oromos. Especially MfactDr, who keeps deleting and denying that the Shasemene Massacre happened even though it has been well sourced. 129.174.255.57 (talk) 23:52, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Both of you are struggling ideological motivated insertion. Per WP:SOAP, any ideological-driven material should not be tolerated in Wikipedia and making less reliable for reading. Recommendation for the IP editor that please avoid any ideological-driven emotions and convince to write calmly, in neutral point of view, meaning in context of what the source talk about, and keeping track without addition personal opinion. Your insertion was totally ungrammatical and disruptive and I make an effort to neutralize it. The Supermind (talk) 16:07, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

The Supermind, you were likely talking to a sock of User:Hoeater. Drmies (talk) 14:52, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Almost entire copyvio editing

This article accuracy should be checked because I've found a lot of copy-paste paragraphs especially at "Demonstration outside Ethiopia" section. For instance in the last paragraph entirely copy pasted as follows:

• "Abyssinian rule in the 19th and 20th centuries laid out a continuing regime of systematic oppression against groups like the Oromo.

• Oromo people are faced with forced assimilation in their homeland and an erasure of their history. Oromo have been branded by Abyssinians as outsiders and called the derogatory term ‘galla’, meaning ‘savage’, ‘slave’, or ‘enemy’."

• "Oromo youth outside the consulate in Saint Paul compared the Oromo people’s forced assimilation through religion, language, and cultural conversion to the genocide enacted on Indigenous North American populations by the United States.

• Statutes of Emperor Menelik II have been targeted in Ethiopia, in a worldwide wave of colonialist statutes being toppled. In London, a bust of Haile Selassie and his father were both destroyed during the 2020 protests."

• Marginalization of Oromo-based political movements from national politics has continued into the 2000s. Massacres of Oromo and political activists have been perpetrated by the Ethiopian government numerous times in the last 20 years, including killings of hundreds in 2005 and 2015.

• In 2016, mass Oromo protests were sparked from a government plan to take over Oromo land in and around the capital of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa. Hundreds were killed during the protests and thousands were jailed."

• "Two years later, protests helped pave the way for the resignation of Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn; this is when Abiy Ahmed was placed into power. Since then, the country has experienced “an increase in killings of people critical of the government and political personalities in the country“, according to Amnesty International." (I instead make copyediting)

Generally, the article itself need help by fixing copy pasted content and rewriting literally. Therefore I would like to tag the article with {{copy paste}} in accordance with WP:COPYPASTE. The Supermind (talk) 15:52, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
