 Over the last week or so, an anonymous editor has been placing comments directly in the article.  I have left comments at the various IP addresses' talk pages, but as the IP changes every time, I doubt the editor is seeing them.  I am moving these comments to the talk page, along with the IP address that posted them and the date/time (or rather, the latest date and time, as these each occurred as a series of edits).  I have set these off as s and placed my responses following a couple of them.     
 Correction: Yeshimebett Abbajifar Ali of Wello should be considered Oromo because ethnic identity in Ethiopia goes along the father line. But her mother W/o Welete was a Gurage, Haile Sellasie's grandmother who raised him after his mother, Yeshimebet, died when he was just two years old. It's said he was rude to his grandmother growing up. And remained ungrateful to her death.—Preceding unsigned comment added by   •  06:42, 16 August 2009 

 Last time I visited here, Teddy Afro was listed as a Gurage. He is not and I am glad his name is removed. He shows no indication that he belongs to Gurage. If you compare him with Mahmoud Ahmed who is proud to be Gurage Ethiopian, while born in Addis, speaks, sings and dances in Guraginga. That kind of communal belonging, and expressly identifying with it is absent from Teddy Afro. The impression he gives out is that he is not exactly a Felasha Jew but a Judaic(Solomonic) Amara, most conservative feudal along the lines of the Haile sellasie inner circle, who had completed theological education in Ge'ez from a debtera school in a Lalibela monastic cave.—Preceding unsigned comment added by   •  06:42, 16 August 2009 

 I removed Dr.Yaqob Hailemariam for lack of outstanding achievements that would qualify him as notable. I also removed Yeshimebet Ali because she was not Gurage but her mother was. She was half Gurage and Oromo. Her father's name was Abba Jifar Ali of Wello. —Preceding unsigned comment added by   •  16:45, 23 August 2009 

 To the author of this section of Gurage: 
 You need lots of advice on the Gurage language section. But, it doesn't like that the truth about Gurage language and its dialects is lost on you. It seems a deliberate decision to misinform and be politically divisive. I reiterated on the recklessness of such misinformation and the desire to call Gurage dialects as independent languages is offensive to linguistuic principles. 
 We don't ask you to write about us, the Gurage community. But, if you want to write about us, you should tell the truth. 
 Gurage is a semitic language, divided into three dialect groups, Gurage West is Sebat Bet, Gurage is Walane and Gurage North is Kistane( old name Sodo).Each group also has regional differences. Gurage dialects form a closely associated family members of a language seperated by time and external influences. All point to the existence of a proto-Gurage prior to differentiation owing to collapse a political structure that held it together in the advent powerful external influences. For example, the Kistaneland used to be continuous from its present location to Gaffat in Gojjam. The Gurageland extended to Harar as the Harar people consider themselves as Gurages. I will provide a historical reference. here it's the historical document. http://books.google.ca/books?id=HGnyk8Pg9NgC&pg;=PA51&lpg;=PA51&dq;=authors+on+gurage+language&source;=bl&ots;=sXBjKfnlWF&sig;=CaAIsRPLrj14VlXxU5GzaPxnIAs&hl;=en&ei;=dnaIStX1O5O8MJq-yfsO&sa;=X&oi;=book_result&ct;=result&resnum;=5#v=onepage&q;=&f;=false
