Oromo, Gurage, or both? edit

There are editing disputes as to whether he was Gurage or Oromo. Often in Ethiopia, people are descended from more than one group. (Pondering this could change some current political extreme tendencies.) Instead of edit wars, I call for citing evidence.Pete unseth (talk) 20:36, 25 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

In the book Ethiopia by Paulos Milkias P221, it stated that Habte Giorgis was a pure Oromo. It mentions that his lands and units he commanded where from Chebo. This misunderstanding of people thinking he came from Chebo started in here. Jpduke (talk) 23:56, 16 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Greetings @Jpduke: do you happen to know the page number of Paulos Milkias book, where it states Habte Giorgis ethnicity? Just to confirm. If sources are equally prominent, maybe we could also add that his background is disputed. Dawit S Gondaria (talk) 21:50, 9 January 2022 (UTC) Update Here's one with Paulos Milkias writing Habte Giorgis ethnicity is Gurage. [1]Reply

Hello, it’s on page 221. It claims that he is a “pure Oromo”. This is why I named the place of birth because of the dispute of his ethnicity. We can definitely state that his ethnicity is disputed in order to end the edits. Also, when you undo the edits make sure to undo specific parts of the edits since it reverts all of the work I did that doesn’t relate to ethnicity like his military and political articles. Here is a citation for the book, Milkias, Paulos. Ethiopia. Santa Barbara: Abc-Clio, 2011. Print. Jpduke (talk) 09:10, 10 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Writing name edit

There is no war on his first name being Habte Giyorgis. I am wonderig why there is space between his first name. It seems like Giyorgis is his father name. I am moving the page in a week to Habtegiyorgis Dinagde if there is no oppose.(Mercy for my English) Maammee (talk) 21:08, 11 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

I have updated the link for the citation. The website "Obnoromia.com" is not the correct website.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpduke (talkcontribs) 19:32, 10 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
