[edit] Concensus name for Ethiopian war with Ahmad Gran

I'm looking for a name we can all agree on before a start a dedicated to the conflict between Ethiopia and Ahmad Gran from 1531-1543. Your help is appreciated. keep up the good work everyone and i'm happy to be the first to post here.Scott Free 19:43, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

here is one suggestion..

• Ethiopian–Adalian War (i saw this put at the header of a battle but no page has been made for it...sounds reasonable)

Okay...i've decided to start the page and have named it the Abyssinian-Adal War. I chose this cuz "Adalian" isn't a word I can find online. The word Adal seems to work for describing the people (a mix of Afar, Oromo, Somalis and Arabs) and the area. Please check out the page and add what you can. The title may need to be altered to "Ethiopian-Adal War". i've already gone in and put a redirect in for that. thnx for ur help in advance.
