Recent Ethiopian Orthodox Church Synod overthrow attempt
Hi Gyrofrog, as a member of Wikiproject Ethiopia and the Ethiopian Orthodox related articles, I am glad your collaboration effort toward them. I've courtesy asked you to create the recent Ethiopian Orthodox Church Synod overthrow attempt occurred on Jan 22, 2023 because many media talk about the incident as well as the internet shutdown following riot. If you have sufficient time, please can you create the recent overthrow attempt against the Holy Synod? 197.156.107.73 (talk) 05:25, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- It looks like this information is being updated in the main Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church article. I'm not sure whether it has yet reached a point where it needs to be split. -- Gyrofrog 18:06, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
I think its notability warrants as a standalone article (as a single notable event). It should be written in an article because many sources are available on the internet and able extensively added to acquire extra information about the overthrow as well as aftermath. There is also a proposed protest organized by the Orthodox Church and this should be written in separate article. 196.190.60.220 (talk) 07:56, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry but this is not something that I can commit to doing, at least not right away. -- Gyrofrog 14:30, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Ogayslabe
Wonder if you could have a look at Ogayslabe and Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Ogayslabe. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 21:13, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
My sources for the number of Bedawiyet speakers
Why did you remove my source when I provided it. The website listed that it got its sources not just from Misplaced Pages but also an author. It was not made up. The 1993 census of Sudan is not reliable as numbers for ethnicity are often undercounted and under estimated based on language speakers. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 20:53, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- I had already explained this at User talk:Cookiemonster1618#Beja Speaker Population?. -- Gyrofrog 20:56, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
Beja speakers in Eritrea don't number 60,000
I was not engaging in any "edit war" I provided the source for my edit and I stated that the website was reliable. Did you even read the article? How is it fair that you use a source that's from a book that's not accessible to a website that based its information and cited it. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 20:58, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- I read the source. As I had already posted at your talk page: "101lasttribes.com is (1) a self-published source, and (2) cites Misplaced Pages as a source (again, see WP:CIRCULAR), and doesn't specify which information comes from WP or from one of the other sources. As such this doesn't seem to be a reliable source, but you're free to get another opinion at WP:RSN." I strongly suggest that you familiarize yourself with Misplaced Pages:Verifiability. --Gyrofrog 21:01, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Pathawi instead of reporting to @Gyrofrog for an "edit war" you could have just went to the actual website and read if you had eyes and actually think before reporting me for attacking you. Also believe what you want but it doesn't change the fact that logically it would not make sense for there to be 60,000 speakers of the Beja language in Eritrea considering how there are 200,000 Beja people in Eritrea. I'm from Sudan and do research on these things your not ready to have an intellectual discussion on this topic since your so hell bent on on putting population estimates from a fake book.
