Maakhir State flag
Why did you change the flag, posted on Dhahar.com and Laasqoray.net as the new state flag, to the flag of Puntland? --Ingoman 19:18, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I am from Maakhir State, and the state flag is now underreview, and in the coming few weeks, will be available on the net, BTW the flag I posted is not the flag of Puntland, but the flag of Somalia. Since Maakhir comes under the Transitional Fededal Government,We could use the national flag till the new state flag is available.--Alihawar 20:22, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Ah ok. Let me know when the review process is completed.  --Ingoman 03:21, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Madobe.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Madobe.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:56, 24 April 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 13:56, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Warsangali, even if you intend to fix them later. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. There's no need to link within an article to itself. Gyrofrog (talk) 23:14, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
