There is discussion at List of adjectival and demonymic forms for countries and nations over the adjective and demonym for Botswana, which I'm pretty sure is not Botswanan. Would be great to get some additional input there on that point. Star Garnet (talk) 09:58, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Eritreans want independent information about from independent sources

Eritrean Wikipedia pages about eritrea’s history, culture, demographics etc are censored by pro Ethiopian Wikipedia editors.

it wasn't always this case but it gotten worse

medri bahri kingdom of Eritrea has been now referred as an Ethiopian province

sources are diaspora Ethiopian studies association and books written by Ethiopian scholars

Eritrean sources or independent sources are censored

also the Wikipedia page about the Eritrean nationalities like Biher Tigrinya

or the Wikipedia page on the 1998 Ethiopian Eritrean border war are heavily influences by pro Ethiopian editors Eritreannp (talk) 13:22, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
