Hello, I'm Cordless Larry. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Somalis, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 11:47, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Not without reliable sources, no. Cordless Larry (talk) 15:13, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Source 1 this is wikipedia themselfes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Somalia

Source 2 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogaden Moesie1999 (talk) 23:52, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia can't be used as a source for itself, for obvious reasons. I removed the population figure from the Ogaden article because it was unsourced and seems to have been made up by an editor. Furthermore, the population of a region isn't the same as the population belonging to a specific ethnic group. Cordless Larry (talk) 06:51, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
