message: The "List of Eritreans" was removed from the article.  Most countries have a separate article for such a list (for example, List of Egyptians). Thus I have created a List of Eritreans with the content that was in this article. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 19:50, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Any reason why the wikify notice was removed? The article still does not make use of the standard country template. Greenman Greenman 09:42, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Some edits (by different editors) to the "Politics" section on 12/18 and the "History" section on 12/21 introduced highly biased language into the article. I am tempted to revert to this version but didn't want to mess up other edits that occurred in the meantime. If no one beats me to it I will try and work on this one in a little while. (I wouldn't want to be accused of doing a "hit and run" PoV tagging, but frankly these seemed rather blatant; I'm surprised someone didn't catch these edits sooner.) -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 20:30, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

message: This page had been vandalised - I don't know how to put it right, so I just copied and pasted the old (un vandalised) page.
:Don't worry it's been reverted. But, for future reference, you can revert a page simply by opening up the old edition of a page and then saving that edition. Mesfin 20:44, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Reports from the Eritrean Orthodox Church report that he was removed by the Synod, not the Government. 
:'Recently in 2005, the Patriarch of Orthodox Tewahdo Church of Eritrea, H.H. Abune Antonios, has been forced out of his post (but this has been challenged by the Diocese of North America of the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church [1]). Earlier, when Abune Antonios protested at government interference in Church affairs, his Christmas radio message was cancelled [2]. Abune Antonios was elected on 5 March 2004 and enthroned as the third Patriarch of Orthodox Tewahedo Church of Eritrea, on 25 April 2004. It is to be remembered Pope Shenouda III presided at the consecration and enthronement in Asmara, together with the Holy Synod of the Eritrean Orthodox Church and a Coptic Orthodox Delegation that accompanied him.'

message: Right now, the order of the books is kind of Haphazard. I say we do it MLA bibliography style to sort out the order, and maybe excise a couple to keep the list briefer.

thread_title: Further Reading

message: Yom, could you take a look at this and fix (i.e. reference or clarify), these are weaseled phrases:
:Although it has been contended today, Eritrean and Ethiopian civilization is thought to have been be founded by Semitic-speaking Sabaeans who crossed the Red Sea from South Arabia (modern Yemen), on the basis of close ties in the past, closely related languages and people.
->Pre-colonial history
:I fixed it. I didn't see the changes until yesterday and missed the request, sorry. On a different note, I noticed you nominated Eritrea to be an FA. Are you certain about this? It seems to me as if it could use a lot more sourcing an rewriting before it gets to that level, but it certainly seems GA level to me. Also, you noted that it had 2 peer reviews. Could you direct me to them so I can read them? — ዮም | (Yom) | Talk • contribs • Ethiopia 01:47, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The peer review's can be found here. There are changes that need to be made for this page to become an FA, if you want you can read through the recommendations and I am trying to find more help on it. Merhawie 20:55, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
