== TPLF designation as a Terrorist organisation per GTD/START database == It's not clear how TPLF may qualify as a terrorist org, but some argue the recent attack on the national defense force of Ethiopia may be viewed as an act of terrorism and or treason. Found reference in GTD(Global Terrorism Database)/START database on the TPLF organisation's terrorist activities. Per wikipedia guidelines, the source linked to the [1] Lists out the terrorist activities of the TPLF since it's formation as an organisation.

GTD really doesn't qualify as
WP:RS. It gathers bits of information indiscriminately. As per the listing, all but one of the listed incidents are from 1990 and earlier (when TPLF was an armed resistance movement against the Derg regime). There is an incident from 2016 listed, which is clearly a sloppy copy-paste from internet source where opponents have used the term 'TPLF' as an euphemism for the regime as a whole. --Soman (talk) 22:29, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply

The events pre 1990 are not necessarily disqualified just because the TPLF was an "armed resistance movement" and according to GTD/START's criteria, those acts are deemed as terrorist attacks. START/GTD is a center of excellence by US Homeland Security Dept. so i think GTD qualifies as a WP:RS.

If you read the link on the 2016 event at the GTD website, it is clear that the person writing it has no idea of what TPLF is. It cannot qualify as WP:RS, and the mention only says that 'TPLF' (euphemism for state forces) was believed to have been involved. --Soman (talk) 22:58, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Adding this link to a book on TPLF "guerrilla activities" which by the definition of GTD qualifies as terrorism: [2] Now I agree that the TPLF was an "armed resistance movement" against the

Already noted that GTD which is supported by the US Homeland Security is a Reliable Source. There is no weasel word here, clearly the Source states that "terrorist activity" is defined prior to making the "designation" of said activity. If we are to go with what you are saying then technically every article on Wikipedia about Al Qaeda or ISIS should remove the words "terrorist" or "terrorism" etc because its a "weasel word" according to your interpretation.

Tigrayan People's Liberation Front → Tigray People's Liberation Front – The official name of the organization is Tigray People's Liberation Front‎ not Tigrayan People's Liberation Front‎. Turtlewong (talk) 18:15, 21 July 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. Dekimasuよ! 08:28, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply

This is a contested technical request (permalink). — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 20:48, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The TPLF stands for Tigray People's Liberation Front‎ not the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front. The native name of the organization is Tigrinya: ሕዝባዊ ወያነ ሐርነት ትግራይ (Həzbayawi Wäyyanä Harənnät Təgray) with the direct translation being "Popular Struggle for the Freedom of Tigray" and the official spelling used by the party, the Ethiopian government, academics, etc. is Tigray People's Liberation Front‎.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] --Turtlewong (talk) 22:35, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Khartuom?

Why does the article contain the spelling "Khartuom"? Is it a typo? Or an alternative name that for some reason is preferable in that section? Syced (talk) 02:57, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistency on terrorism in the article

The first sentence of the article claims that the group is a terrorist organization before it is a political party. But the last section is only about "suspected links" to terrorism, and mentions the lack of a consensus within even the United States. --86.50.115.231 (talk) 15:17, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Tigray People's Liberation Front

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Tigray People's Liberation Front's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "nyt20210122":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 03:18, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
