Culture Coffee Ceremony
[edit]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)
- As there was no objection, I moved the section to Culture of Ethiopia. Vajzë Blu (talk) 03:53, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
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)
Population size?
[edit]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)
- Update: Ethiopia's population is now estimated at 109,499,000. VTSGsRock (talk) 00:56, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah. Ethiopia is number 13, not 10 2603:8080:D03:89D4:2533:F117:A372:C224 (talk) 02:31, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

The tir
ISO 639-3 lang code on the native name section of the navbox for the Tigrinya name should be changed to ti
the ISO 639-1 code, as they are preferred.

- Can you point me to the source for that preference? I can't find it. PianoDan (talk) 17:41, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- I’m trying to link the category "Category:Lang and lang-xx code promoted to ISO 639-1" but it disappears when I link it. It's part of Module:lang, under tracking categories. 2001:BB6:B84C:CF00:E040:A5E5:2F04:D2DB (talk) 21:11, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Found it. It's actually in Template:Lang, "Because all languages represented by two-letter codes in ISO 639-1 can also be represented by their three-letter equivalents in ISO 639-2 and above, it is recommended to use the shortest language tag possible that sufficiently describes the target language." With that, I'll take care of it. PianoDan (talk) 16:38, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
