Moved from User talk:Abo Yemen § Edits to Coffee Page

Hi there,

Please refrain from wholesale removal of edits that have academic evidence. The ones you removed were all rooted in Yemeni writers and historians by the way. It is best to present the history as accurately and truthfully as possible the page already includes Yemen there was no need for you to remove it. Abcsomwiz (talk) 11:40, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Or maybe, don't you think, that it's ridiculous to claim coffee as Somali? You will have to discuss this on the article's talk page if you want your theories to have a chance of making it to the article. You've been reverted by me and another editor for your "coffee came from Somalia" claim 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 11:47, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are a Hadhrami sayyid as per your page you should be the last person to say this.

It is not a ridiculous claim the sources say 'land of Ibn Sa'ad-ad-din'. Who was Sa'ad-ad-din? The ruler of Barr Sa'ad-ad-din, the same kingdom multiple Yemenis refer to as 'Barr Sumal'. I can suggest readings for you in Arabic if you want. Abcsomwiz (talk) 11:49, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are a Hadhrami sayyid as per your page you should be the last person to say this.
May I know how this is remotely related to coffee? Your fringe theories have no business existing on Wikipedia. I'm moving this discussion to the talk page of coffee where it should be 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 11:52, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just meant that there are many ties between them and Somalia I was surprised to read your comments. It is not a fringe theory we would have to discard all Arabic manuscripts then including the ones that are on there for Yemen's role! Abcsomwiz (talk) 11:54, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you insist, I don't mind sticking to the exact wording of the academic sources cited so 'Land of Sa'ad-ad-din'. The point is there is no valid reason to remove cited academic sources from multiple historians for no reason- you could have edited it or tried to seek consensus. Abcsomwiz (talk) 11:56, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We already include that in the 'Historical transmission' section, there is no reason to add it twice. MrOllie (talk) 11:59, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just meant that there are many ties between them and Somalia I was surprised to read your comments.
Why does that matter here? It's literally irrelevant. We should actually discard all primary sources here, esp when we have scholarly secondary sources mentioning Ethiopia and Yemen's roles. ~~None of which mentions Somalia~~ 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 12:00, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are no primary used here I was just talking generally. Abcsomwiz (talk) 12:03, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Arabic manuscripts are primary sources 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 12:08, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are NO manuscripts I was just mentioning to you in the discussion page. NO PRIMARY IS CITED in the article afaik.

You said it was a 'fringe theory' so I replied saying that actually it is not and there are multiple historical sources in its favour (who the academics use to come to their conclusions). I hope this make sense. Abcsomwiz (talk) 12:11, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The citation you added to the article does not mention Somalia at all. MrOllie (talk) 13:19, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see the account was blocked as a sock. No need to discuss further, then. MrOllie (talk) 13:22, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Add to Category:Romani cuisine per Romani cuisine. Very popular beverage among Roma. 66.179.190.46 (talk) 18:54, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Coffee could plausibly be added to the category for just about every type of cuisine, and that doesn't seem appropriate. If you really think it should be added, please establish consensus here first. meamemg (talk) 20:26, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
