Talk:Assab

message: The treaty between Giuseppe Sapeto, Italian explorer and emissary of the Società Rubattino, and the sultans Ibrahim and Hassan ben Ahmad was signed on November 15, 1869. On March 13, 1870 the Italian flag was run up. Assab became Italian Colony on July 5, 1882: 630 Kmq.
I have removed the POV tag because the opposition to the article is both unfactual and offensive. Whether Ethiopians recognise Assab as Eritrean or not is irrelevant. There is no basis for claiming that the citizens of Assab oppose their status as Eritreans. They have voted in the UN supervised referendum for independence of their country (which is Eritrea) from Ethiopia.
If Ethiopians (or anyone else) wants to write articles about Afar opposition movements (based in Ethiopia, fighting the Ethiopian government) they may do so on Ethiopian wikipedia pages.

thread_title:  Assab, 1st Italian colony in Africa. 

message: The claim that the Ethio-Eritrea war was an attempt to take Assab is factual so i have decided to keep it. You may check various independent references that indicate who started the war.  You may also check various references that show Ethiopian army wasn't going deep into Massawa and taking over most of West Eritrea. I think we all know why that happened. Anyway maybe future wars will be for Assab is the 2000 war. Regarding the title word "sovereignty" i will let you use that word but most Ethiopians call it an occupation issue. --Ethionet 18:40, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: 2000 War?

message: First is this unattributed statement:
: There is an ongoing dispute between Eritrea and Ethiopia as to the ownership of this port hub, Assab. 
Then this equally unattributed response:
: There is no dispute of owner ship of Assab as long as the people of Eritrea and Ethiopia are concerned, if you are writing article about Assab being from the west power there exist indifference about both people and what you are trying to achieve is a military base across the Red sea
: “Please Let the Assabian write about Assab”
At the moment & for better or worse Assab is clearly inside Eritrean territory. Unless someone can provide verifiable sources that show Ethiopia has laid claim to this port (or that its inhabitants believe that Ethiopia has done so), these statements add no value to this article & should be kept out of it. -- llywrch (talk) 02:13, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Foreign relations of Eritrea

message: The section on Eritrean/Ethiopian relations is assuredly slanted against the Ethiopians, as well as being poorly written. This sentence, to wit: "In April 2002 the EEBC disclosed its proceedings on the matter by giving key town of Bademe to Eritrea the thing which Ethiopia failed to accept." That sentence doesn't make much sense and needs to be fixed; sadly I'm not well versed on this subject. Anyway, the whole section stinks of partisanship, highlighting Ethiopian failures and transgressions in the peace process without mention of any Eritrean missteps, of which I'm sure there are several. Needs a rewrite in NPOV and more data. Dziban303 (talk) 14:59, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  wikileaks 

message: Sorry, but this reads like it was written by a member of the Eritrean defense forces. There are a number of dubious statements, among them that the Eritrean military's strategic importance derives from Eritrea's location on the horn of Africa (in reality, nobody outside of the Horn of Africa besides the US gives a flying $$$$ about what the Eritreans do, and the Americans only because the Eritreans have been funding terrorists), or that maintaining a force of 300,000 soldiers at the border is more difficult for Eritrea than for Ethiopia due to Eritrea's smaller population, which is frankly ridiculous.

Talk:Hawulti (monument)

message: Yom is concerned that the wording of the article is incorrect. While some sources say it ws destroyed others say it was repaired, perhaps leading to some confusion. The reference that is quoted in the articles says that it was destroyed. It appears in pictures (photo) that only the base/foundation was destroyed and that it conceivably could be repaired. In the following article & photo you can see that it has indeed been repaired. So it seems that it was indeed destroyed and repaired. --Merhawie 19:19, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The destruction of a part of it is a damaging when speaking of the whole. If it were destroyed, then the whole monument would have been rubble (which it is not, just the base). I don't really see how we can say that it was destroyed considering its condition after the toppling. This image makes it clear that it can be said to have been damaged but not destroyed. The usage of the term "destroyed" is contradicted by the site that you quote. He says "Hawulti now lies shattered on ground after being damaged by invading army (see below and check Current Status in menu) during recent warfare" and titles the page "Decision Reached on Claim of Damage to Hawulti."  The Buddhas of Bamyan can be said to be destroyed, but Hawulti was damaged, not destroyed. — ዮም | (Yom) | Talk • contribs • Ethiopia 21:46, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

These claims need substantiating, as does much of the rest. I am changing some of this along these lines:  Its AIM is to make working life better ...   It AIMS to achieve this through ...
The content is also too UK centric. The content needs to report on this in a way that doesn't presume the reader to be British and living in the UK.

Talk:No Brand Con

message: Being a member of this group, I know that No Brand Con planning staff are notorious for not distributing press releases.  As a result, secondary, verifiable sources are few and far between.  Even reliable sources, such as AnimeCons.com, are often fed by No Brand Con staff, backed up by information readily available on the website.
I believe the self-referencing sources that are used fall under the first exception for: WP:SELFPUB#Using_questionable_or_self-published_sources.  Due to their inherently self-referencing nature, NoBrandVerse specifics and other details are not published outside of the convention website, internal convention materials, or myriad video sources (sometimes available on YouTube and similar sites, where applicable).
I suppose what can fall under contention here is whether or not the inclusion of such details is relevant to an encyclopedia entry.  I think the fact that No Brand Con has a continuous, annual storyline is academically interesting, and can be used to compare against otehr conventions.  But, again, the proper details can only be found in con-referenced materials, as already (properly) cited. SeanOrange 20:18, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Although I don't dispute that No Brand Con itself is worthy of a Wikipedia article, I don't believe that the NoBrandVerse information should be taking up so much of the article.  Unless there are third-party sources for this information, it seems to go against WP:RS.  The only sources listed for that section are No Brand Con itself...which is essentially a self-published source.  Perhaps marking this as "original research" isn't the most appropriate choice of tags, but I felt that it qualified considering that it was all either unsourced or referring to NBC's own site.  --PatrickD 23:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
