Climate

I know it sounds ridiculous, but actually the dry season is the summer, the warmer months, so is it kind of a Mediterranean climate? דולב חולב (talk) 17:04, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rainfall patterns in Koppen are adduced by low-sun/high-sun seasons, and Addis Ababa is in the Northern Hemisphere. So no, but interesting observation. Uness232 (talk) 15:42, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Behind in Years

Ethiopia is behind in years because They have been counting years since Jesus's birth. 2601:C1:4100:9890:E9FE:9FF8:246B:A8C2 (talk) 20:49, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is Muslim representation being taken down?

I would like to address the repeated removal of a picture of a mosque that I’ve added to represent the diverse population of Addis Ababa. The city is home to a significant Muslim community, and the inclusion of a mosque alongside other religious representations reflects its cultural and religious diversity. Removing the mosque image while retaining others appears inconsistent and raises concerns about fair representation. This is not an act of vandalism but an effort to ensure balanced and inclusive representation. I invite discussion on how we can equitably represent all communities in this space. @Socialwave597, @ToBeFree Gangaddis (talk) 14:47, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox data

The infobox gives a population of 5,704,000 and an area of 527 km². That would give a density of 10,824 per km². The box has 5,165.1/km², which is inconsistent with the other data and apparently refers to the ca. 2.7 million inhabitants mentoned in the opening paragraph but based on an old census of 2007. --Proofreader (talk) 22:25, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
