This was just redone, but it had said "The most common recognized culture observed is coffee ceremony." The source didn't seem to back that up. The coffee ceremony is currently the main aspect of culture listed in that section. Should that be moved to the Culture of Ethiopia article?

What do you all think? Vajzë Blu (talk) 02:34, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As there was no objection, I moved the section to Culture of Ethiopia. Vajzë Blu (talk) 03:53, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ethiopian plateau's old coffee woods are the source of coffee that is grown all over the world. It is said that Kaldi, a goat herder, first saw the potential of these well-loved beans there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:197:C80:F230:7C40:AF28:36A8:138A (talk) 21:42, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As the religion history of Ethiopia is rich and it's where the first place where Islam was introduced to the whole continent of Africa, where the 'First Hijra' which is a historical moment in the religion. Where even the Prophet Mohammed, pbuh (from Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasulillah) said to his companions “If you have to migrate, migrate towards Habash.”. So, adding this information would show the rich historical value Ethiopia holds in the history of the religion. Nuredinali (talk) 16:25, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is iincoherent. Moxy🍁 18:08, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please explain what is incoherent about this? Nuredinali (talk) 20:45, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ethiopia has several of prominent figures shaping the field of Computer Science, particularly Artificial Intelligence in the world stage. These include Dr. Timnit Gebru (who have been named Times 100 Most Influential People 2022, among many other recognitions), Professor Jelani Nelson, etc. Who are decendants of Ethiopia. Adding these names besides the existing scientists who made significant contributions could be useful. Nuredinali (talk) 16:39, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

pls dont ... Caution should be taken to ensure that the sections are not simply a listing of names or mini biographies of individuals accomplishments. Good example Canada#Science and technology. Moxy🍁 18:07, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree with this point. I'll retract these additions and it's better to keep it clean, since it's hard and unnecessary to include all individuals. Nuredinali (talk) 20:43, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Currently the infobox shows 129M based on worldometers.info.
But the table in "List of countries and dependencies by population" says 107M, based on some official document (though the source site is now dead).
A reliable source, cia.gov, estimates 118M.

What's considered authoritative in Wikipedia?
And shouldn't different Wikipedia articles use a unified figure or source? galenIgh 14:26, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Ethiopia's population is now estimated at 109,499,000. VTSGsRock (talk) 00:56, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
