To-Do list

[edit]
  • All members should always feel free to patrol the recent changes list to note improvements, other changes, or vandalism of articles within the scope of this project.
  • Mark articles related to Ethiopia with {{WikiProject Ethiopia}} in the talk page of the article:
    • WE HAVE A NEW ADDITION TO THE TEMPLATE! You can now assign an article to a department (check template documentation for specs).
    • MAKE A HABIT OF UPDATING THE TALK PAGE of every Ethiopia-related article you visit. Update the templates: add class, importance, department. Also remove the Ethiopia=yes from the WikiProject Africa templates to unclutter and stop double tagging.
  • Check the alerts above and join the review or reassessment of any articles listed. This list is auto-generated and should not be edited.
  • Fix any of the redlinks listed on this page. You can do this by creating the article or change the articles to link to the appropriate articles or sections of other articles.
  • See Ethiopia articles needing attention for a complete listing of Ethiopia-related articles that need attention. Please respond to these requests if you're able.
  • We need to start a list of encyclopedia articles directly relevant to this project at exhaustive list of articles. This list should include all substantive articles in print encyclopedias relating to this topic that are not covered by Wikipedia.
  • Add references to articles. A list of useful references is compiled on the references page.
  • There maybe a more detailed list of tasks here.


Departments

[edit]

Work within the project is organized into departments, each covering a slice of Ethiopia's scope and tracked separately for quality and importance. Tag an article's talk page with the relevant parameter on {{WikiProject Ethiopia}} to assign it to a department.

For the full list of tagged pages by department, see the Departments subpage.

Proper names

[edit]

Ethiopians commonly use their fathers' given names as patronymics after their own, e.g. Abiy Ahmed means Abiy, the son of Ahmed. Sometimes their father's father's name appears in third place, but this style is usually for official documents; only in rare circumstances would Ethiopians adopt their grandfather's name as a last name for common usage. Note that if the name is Amharic, it does not imply that a subject is a member of the Amhara people, as many other groups also use Amharic names.

Many Ethiopian names are compound nouns in Ge'ez, for example "Zara Yaqob" which means "Seed of Jacob". He should not be referred to as "Zara" or "Mr Yaqob" -- unless this unusual usage can be verified in a reliable source, which then needs to be added to the relevant article.

Ethiopians, especially in the West, will frequently adopt their own transliteration scheme for styling themselves, that does not always correspond to any of the various schemes employed by linguists. Whenever proper names become notable under such ad hoc spellings, they should be preferred as the most common searchable term, e.g. songstress Manalemosh Dibo. Articles about musicians with stage names are listed at their more familiar name, e.g. Teddy Afro and Gigi (singer), with the legal name given in the article lead sentence.

This also applies to names of albums, songs, etc. that are sometimes transliterated directly as proper names. The name of an album is italicised, and if desired, the English interpretation could be given in parentheses and quotation marks ("like this").
