A fact from Army of the Ethiopian Empire appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 May 2020 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
I intend to concentrate on the 1935-41 period but this could be expanded forward to the end of the modern period and backward to the 19th century and beyond if anyone has the information. Asiaticus (talk) 23:35, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No further edits should be made to this page.
Adequate sourcing: - There are plenty of broken references for some reason, such as Perry 2005, Barker 1971, Othen 2017, Nicolle 1997, Zuber 1975, and Antonicelli 1975.
I would have preferred the tag "...that in the Korean War, the Ethiopian Army fought for the first time outside of Africa in almost 1500 years?" -- llywrch (talk) 15:07, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately most of the sites with the photo have been taken down, but I get the strong feeling that the picture in the infobox isn't modern - from the few sources that are up, I've found that it's probably a 1931 autochrome photo by W. Robert Moore of National Geographic. One of the photos in the collection, from an official Nat Geo Tumblr.
