Rules for Editing the Map

1- A reliable source for that specific edit should be provided.
a) A well-known source that has a reputation for neutral (not biased) territorial control coverage, can be used (is deemed reliable) for all edits.
b) A well-known source that does not have a reputation for neutral (not biased) territorial control coverage, can be used (is deemed reliable) only for edits that are unfavorable to the side it prefers (favorable to the side it opposes).
c) A source that is not well-known (or that has proven inaccurate for all edits) cannot be used (is deemed unreliable) for any edit. This includes all maps (see item 2- next).

2- Copying from maps is strictly prohibited. Maps from mainstream media are approximate and therefore unreliable for any edit. Maps from amateur sources are below the standards of Wikipedia for any edit. They violate WP:RS and WP:CIRCULAR.
WP:RS: “Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book, and also claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published media, such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs, Internet forum postings, and tweets, are largely not acceptable as sources.” Source: Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published_sources
WP:CIRCULAR: “Do not use websites that mirror Wikipedia content or publications that rely on material from Wikipedia as sources.”

3- WP:POV pushing and intentional misinterpretation of sources will not be tolerated. If you are not sure about what the source is saying (or its reliability), post it on the talk page first so that it would be discussed.

Per MapEthiopia: Adi Mancarre and Chemero are under ENDF control.

Per this week's update ACLED-EPO: Enticho, Idaga Hamus, Samre, Yechila, and Adigrat were captured by ENDF/EDF, but note that these towns are not marked as such by MapEthiopia, but they come from ACLED, considered to be a reliable source and is used as a source on other Wikipedia articles.

Hello, Please change Nekemte to contested with OLA per MapEthiopia. Also, Meswait should still be under TDF control as it's in the overlapping colors section instead of solely under ENDF color. Mtcat101 (talk) 18:31, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Along with Nekemte being contested, MapEthiopia reports the capture of Nedjo, so change that to OLA as well. Mtcat101 (talk) 22:22, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
