Talk:Eritrea

Given our latest discoveries in the long long Africa thread, Eritrea should not even be listed among the independent nations. It's part of Ethiopia. Some stuff from this article might still be useful though, who knows? IJzeren Jan 09:24, 17 Mar 2005 (PST)

What shall we do with this?

... Earlier this year, we already decided that there is no independent state of Eritrea, but that it is part of a huge Ethiopia. Should we delete this, or can we still use it? --IJzeren Jan 12:50, 12 November 2005 (PST)

all it contain is source material from wikipedia so it probably can be deleted--Marc Pasquin 14:32, 12 November 2005 (PST)

Agree: delete this article. As Marc says, it is Wikipedia info and is in conflict with QSS on the region. It does not need to hang around here! Elemtilas

Not my place really to say anything since I've been less than active over the past year, but I thought it had been properly agreed that Eritrea was in fact an independent state?

We had a general reworking of Africa earlier this year. I suppose you might have missed that! Anyway, Africa was pretty much redone as certain aspects of it had gotten out of control. A powerful Ethiopian empire was one result. Also, I'm sure that's you Ferko -- please sign your name or your initials at least so we know who's saying what! Since you can obviously access the Wiki, you might consider taking a proper identity -- just hit the log-in link and make an ID and password. Much easier for all of us to know who's who! It also helps the Antispam League in sorting out real Members from spammers. Elemtilas

Aye, sorry about that (name thing). But yes, I did miss it. Not a worry, so long as the Dalmatophone states are still as I left them, more or less. ;) (And yes, I know about Kamerun becoming Portuguese). :)

Yeah, we didn't really mess with those. The borders were settled, though, and a couple of West African states appeared. Central Africa and CEA were most affected. See the map: http://www.geocities.com/elemtilas/ill_bethisad/maps.htm

Note that you and I have a condominium, composed of the Etosha International Reserve: it's a kind of mega national park thing that spans DSWA and Dal-K.

No worries about the name thing! Just hit tilde-tilde-tilde (three tildes in a row) after a message and, if you've logged in, your user name will appear sos we can all see!Elemtilas

It's like Padraic said: we've had a general reworking of Africa. And quite a necessary one, if I may say so. Africa was quite a mess, with three completely different maps floating around the scene, an inexplicably huge blurb that was called "Chinese East Africa", and quite a few states that hadn't been described at all. In fact, all that was established were the Dalmatophone States and the Commonwealth. The rest was less even than QAA, and we simply thought it was time to at least draw a fashionable map of Africa. I don't remember what happened precisely to Eritrea, but at some point we discovered a rather huge Ehtiopian Empire, that absorbed both Somalia and Eritrea. In the meantime, several African countries have been worked on: Egypt, Ethiopia, Maasai, Libya... --IJzeren Jan 05:49, 30 November 2005 (PST)
