Non-free rationale for File:Pce10.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Praise and suggestions
First, I appreciate the fact you created three articles that I meant to a long time before this. The Mecha and Tuluma Self-Help Association was perhaps the most important Oromo advocacy group to be established, & I believe its influence is still felt today in Ethiopia. REST also deserves an article not only because of its role during the Ethiopian Civil War, but because of its current relationship to the ruling EPRDF. And lastly, the Woyane rebellion is considered by many historians of Ethiopian history to be the most significant civil unrest between the end of WWII & the beginning of the Ethiopian Revolution.
However, I was surprised to see that you located the article for the Woyane rebellion at
If you are interested in improving these articles, I would be happy to suggest any number of sources. For example, Gebru Tareke, Ethiopia: Power and protest devotes an entire chapter of his book to the Woyane rebellion. Information on the Mecha and Tuluma Self-Help Association might be harder to find, since it would be found only in books which cover the modern (i.e., post-WW II) history of the Oromo, & I've found books on the Oromo in general to be hard to come by unless I used ILL or bought them myself.
Anyway, I'm glad to see someone continuing to enrich Wikipedia coverage on Ethiopia, since I've lost interest in Wikipedia at the moment, & there is so much about that ancient country needing to be included in Wikipedia. -- llywrch (talk) 20:49, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
