en:Do not buy Russian goods!

Hello! Could you translate an article about boycott of Russian goods in Ukraine for the Amharic Wikipedia? Thanks for the help. --Trydence (talk) 16:17, 16 ኦክቶበር 2014 (UTC)

What is the Amharic text in this picture?

What is the Amharic text in this picture? http://www.guebre-mariam.org/local/cache-vignettes/L600xH99/siteon0-3e2b0.jpg - May I have it transcribed? Does it mean a French school somewhere? Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 23:48, 17 ጃንዩዌሪ 2015 (UTC)

The Amharic text is ገብረ ማርያም ትምህርት ቤት which literally is "Gebre Mariam school". If I'm not mistaken, this is the French school in Addis Ababa, colloquially known as ሊሴ (Lycée). Elfalem (talk) 01:16, 25 ጃንዩዌሪ 2015 (UTC)

Thank you! I added it to en:Lycée Guebre-Mariam and fr:Lycée franco-éthiopien Guébré-Mariam. Are you interested in starting an Amharic article on this school? WhisperToMe (talk) 04:52, 7 ጁን 2015 (UTC)

Non-response from fellow administrator, please remove block on Beetstra

Hi. I have been asking your fellow administrator Codex Sinaiticus about their block of Beetstra and to this point there has been no response. The questions have been asked at User talk:Codex Sinaiticus#Why the block on Beetstra? Please explain. I have asked which breach of local policy has brought the block, or if no local policy, then which breach of the broader wikimedia policies or guidelines have been breached. As there is no evident breach of policy presented, I am now asking for that block to be removed, and asking that you do it seeing that the blocking admin is unresponsive to my request. Thanks.

ይህ ሰው ሁከት ለማንሣት መፈልጉ ግልጽ ነው። ማገጃ የጣልኩበት ረባሽ ሰው በእንግሊዝኛ ውክፔድያ ላይ ተማሮች ስለ አማርኛ መረጃ እንዳያገኙ ሠርቷል። በሙሉ ጸባዩ «ጸረ-አማርኛ» ይመስለኛል። ሆኖም በእርሱ ምክንያት ጓደኞች በሲሶፖች መካከል ስላሉት፣ ከ እንግሊዝኛ ውክፔድያ አሁን የተገደው እኔ ነኝ። በዚህ ውክፔድያ ላይ ምንም አስተዋጽኦ እንደሚችል አይመስለኝም፣ እንዳይሆን ማገጃ ቢጣልበት ምን አለበት? ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 13:29, 24 ጃንዩዌሪ 2015 (UTC)

እኔ በእንግሊዝኛ ውክፔዲያ ላይ ስለተከሰተው የማውቀው ነገር የለም። ነገር ግን በዚህ የአማርኛ ውክፔዲያ ላይ የሚወሰዱት ውሳኔዎች በዚህ ውክፔዲያ ላይ በተደረጉ ድርጊቶች የተነሱ መሆን አለባቸው። ስለዚህ በዚህ አማርኛ ውክፔዲያ ላይ የኛን ፓሊሲ የሚፃረር ድርጊት እስካልፈፀመ ድረስ ማገጃ መጣል ተገቢ አይመስለኝም። Elfalem (talk) 01:11, 25 ጃንዩዌሪ 2015 (UTC)

International schools in Ethiopia

Elfalem,

Are you interested in making an Amharic version of this template? en:Template:International schools in Ethiopia WhisperToMe (talk) 15:11, 26 ኖቬምበር 2015 (UTC)

I've translated most of the template at መለጠፊያ:ኢንተርናሽናል ትምህርት ቤቶች በኢትዮጵያ. I'm not sure about the Italian school. Elfalem (talk) 06:07, 27 ኖቬምበር 2015 (UTC)

Thank you! I think the Italian name means "Italian State Comprehensive Institute of Addis Ababa" - https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/omnicomprensivo?rdfrom=Omnicomprensivo means "all-inclusive" - So it is an institution of the Italian government and covers all levels of primary and secondary education WhisperToMe (talk) 22:48, 5 ዲሴምበር 2015 (UTC)

If you want to try another one, en:Montgomery County Public Schools is a public school system in the suburbs of Washington, DC. They have a page with Amharic information http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/am/ so I think it would be a great idea to have an Amharic version of this article. WhisperToMe (talk) 22:54, 5 ዲሴምበር 2015 (UTC)

I've translated the Italian school. I've also created a stub for the school system at ሞንትጎመሪ ካውንቲ የመንግሥት ትምህርት ቤቶች. Elfalem (talk)

Thank you so much! :) WhisperToMe (talk) 21:46, 6 ዲሴምበር 2015 (UTC)

Ethiopian name

What is the Ethiopian name of the Holy Trinity and Saint Mary Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church? (name in File:EthiopianChurchSign0Houston.JPG)

Also, are you interested in adding Ethiopian descriptions to some files related to that church? Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 04:31, 27 ማርች 2016 (UTC)

The name as shown in the picture is ቅድስት ሥላሴ እና ቅድስት ድንግል ማርያም የኢትዮጵያ አርቶዶክስ ተዋሕዶ ቤተ ክርስቲያን. I am interested in contributing descriptions although I can not say when I will get to them as I'm busy with other commitments. Elfalem (talk) 03:49, 28 ማርች 2016 (UTC)

Thank you very much :) WhisperToMe (talk) 00:31, 3 ኤይፕርል 2016 (UTC)

Article idea: District of Columbia Public Library and/or Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library

Hi, Elfalem!

I found that the en:District of Columbia Public Library has a website in Amharic: http://www.dclibrary.org/amharic

Are you interested in starting an Amharic article about the DC Public Library system and/or the en:Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library (the central library)? Also, what is the Amharic name for the "Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library", as I would like to put the name in Commons:Category:Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library?

Thank you! WhisperToMe (talk) 09:20, 14 ኖቬምበር 2016 (UTC)

Hi WhisperToMe, I will try to start an article on the DC library system. As for the library, it would be የማርቲን ሉተር ኪንግ ጁኒየር መታሰቢያ ቤተ መጻሕፍት. Elfalem (talk) 03:56, 22 ኖቬምበር 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your help! I went and added the name to the Commons page WhisperToMe (talk) 13:40, 28 ፌብሩዌሪ 2017 (UTC)

Ambo University

Do you know if there is an Amharic article for en:Ambo University in Oromia? WhisperToMe (talk) 13:41, 28 ፌብሩዌሪ 2017 (UTC)

I don't think so. There is አምቦ ዩኒቨርሲቲ ኮሌጅ (Ambo University College) but it seems to be referring to another school that was established recently. Elfalem (talk) 20:05, 28 ሜይ 2017 (UTC)
