→Notice of removal of sysop and bureaucrat permissions: comment as an interested observer |

መስመር፡ 613፦
Hello. Using the sysop tools in a dispute while involved in it, to block editors you disagree with them, is a blatant abuse of the sysop tools. In order to protect the project and its editors from such abusive use of the sysop toolset, I have removed your sysop and bureaucrat permissions. Best regards, --[[አባል:MarcoAurelio|MarcoAurelio]] ([[አባል ውይይት:MarcoAurelio|talk]]) 01:10, 7 ጃንዩዌሪ 2019 (UTC:
:I rightfully blocked him, because he is only here to miltitate against our longstanding policy since 2005 against advocacy of homosexuality, which is deeply offensive to Ethiopian culture and a violation of the Ethiopian criminal code. He was making a disturbance and would force people to be unwillingly offended in the service of promoting homosexuality internationally. For you to unilaterally and whimsically remove my management of this wiki without any consensus discussion or process of appeal is the abuse of power and a disgusting disgrace.

:: [[User:Til Eulenspiegel|Til Eulenspiegel]] or [[User:Codex Sinaiticus|Codex Sinaiticus]], please provide a link to this project's policy with regard to ''"advocacy of homosexuality"'' being an instant block offence? Individuals making claims about what they think consensus on this project are, is not the same as providing evidence of consensus. From responses so far, and the apparent near absence of any articles on this project about homosexuality or LGBT+ history, is it reasonable to conclude that attempts to create articles on this topic to improve the Wikipedia would be treated as "advocacy of homosexuality"?
:: Please take on board that your complaint that your sysop rights were removed without consensus, or process of appeal, is factually incorrect. The action was taken with the justification of high level policies against abusive use of tools, which [[User:MarcoAurelio|MarcoAurelio]] can provide further links to if you are unaware of them. You are free to appeal, or indeed run a consensus vote to have these rights restored.
:: Ironically, [[User:QueerEcofeminist]] has not been allowed the same respect extended to yourself, instead [[User:Codex Sinaiticus|Codex Sinaiticus]] has denied access to their talk page to appeal the block for having the word "Queer" in their account name. The above block of the projects steward [[User:Teles|Teles]], when they were attempting to assist by asking in a civil fashion about the block, appears to be a coordinated use of sysop privileges actively to suppress discussion about this project's hostile approach to LGBT+ topics. Worryingly, this sets the Amharic Wikipedia community in conflict with WMF policies and stated values. For these reasons the way sysop rights are being used on this Wikipedia has drawn attention from the wider community, and our views as highly experienced Wikimedians, count here as much as they do on any other Wikimedia project we volunteer on, and should be responded to in good faith, factually and without hostility or harassment.
