re your query
No, I just updated some of the population stats for some of the towns and then got sucked into various controversies! Jameswilson (talk) 23:24, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Somalis
I'm sure you meant well, but you know how Somalis will take this. They will see it as Darods only. Qabil is why Somalia is no more, so that's the very thing we should be guarding against. Middayexpress (talk) 21:46, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Abdiqassim is the only non-Darod in the list. His lone presence, however, is not enough. We need more non-Darods up there, not fewer. I'll try and add Aden Adde, a Hawiye. He's the ideal candidate and much loved. Middayexpress (talk) 22:05, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Calm down. Siad Barre is Marehan, not Majerteen. It's Abdullahi Yusuf that's Majerteen. They're both Darod, so if one of them had to go, it's obviously Siad Barre since he isn't the current president and far too many Somalis remember him as the guy that provoked the civil war and killed his opponents across the board (remember the Isaac massacre? the Majerteen clampdown before that? the Hawiye insurgency in Mogadishu?). As for the Mad Mullah, he is an excellent choice. However, we already have a statue of Ahmed Gurey up there, and this is a page for actual Somalis, not statues. Middayexpress (talk) 22:37, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not a question of having a properly collated collage or not. That's trivial. It's a question of equal representation. One of the current government's very mandates was to balance power between the various Somali clans, yet you see no problem with us showing a page that's filled with nothing but Darods? And Siad Barre is a divisive figure. I invite you to peruse Wikipedia itself and see how many times he is referred to as a dictator. Let's try not to think of ourselves here but of what Somalis at large will think and especially how they will feel. Middayexpress (talk) 22:54, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I sincerely doubt you could have me "banned", as I am not the one who put up a collage filled with nothing but Darods and I'm also not the one that violated Wikipedia's policies on civility and personal attacks (and after clearly having been asked to calm down). I hate to break it to you but equal representation is not a crime, and a very real part of most civilized societies, which one would hope also includes Somalia.

Revert war
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 02:12, 20 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I haven't gone through the edit history but at least one of you, possibly both of you are already in violation of the three revert rule. My opinion is that you should work it out on the talk page.  I don't know much about Somali clans beyond what I've read on Wikipedia, other than knowing there is some enmity between Hawiye and Darod clans.  If this edit war represents some kind of attempt to come out on top, then you are hereby advised to do it some place besides Wikipedia. Thank you. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 02:20, 20 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Consider this your final warning. I've removed the picture until the two of you can decide on something less contentious. Please use the talk page (Talk:Somali people) to figure this out. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 02:27, 20 July 2008 (UTC)


 * And one other thing:
 * [[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|25px]] Please do not attack other editors. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 02:29, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Can't really offer much advice here, though I've always found the pictures that are supposed to represent a whole ethnic group a bit strange. None of the photos represent nomads or urban Somalis though, shouldn't Mogadishu cafe photos and rural photos be used?  All the photos seem to be of diaspora Somalis. --Ingoman (talk) 04:22, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Somali Air Corps
Hello! My name is Muhammad Bilal Khan, I am from Pakistan and I am an avid fan of air force related topics. My special interest is in the history of exotic African air forces. I noticed that you edited the page of Somali Air Corps several times. So I had some questions about SAC.

There are some unverified claims that apparently, there was not a single Mustang left in Somalia by the time the Italian authorities officially handed over their aircraft to the SAC, on 1 July 1960. While some claim that the Mustangs were handed over to the Somalis and were later repaired and operated by SAC. So whats the truth?

Also there are some stories of Somali MiG-17 attacking a Djibouti-operated French Breguet Atlantique in 1977. Do you know anything about it?

Any additional details/photos/whatever regarding SAC would be welcome. Thanks in advance. Badkhan (talk) 09:22, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

If the image is a copyright by Getty then I would assume that it's not usable. Sorry. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 13:31, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi! You recently contributed to List of universities in Somalia. Your views would be welcomed on a discussion at Talk:List of universities in Somalia. -- Timberframe (talk) 10:33, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Mosque
I'm sorry - I did not know you were working on the page. You did not tag it mentioning that it was under construction. Furthermore, I did not remove anything from the page; it sounds like there was an edit conflict, and I'm sorry about that. But you have the right to override anything I've put there once you've been told of the edit conflict. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 21:31, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure - no worries. Consider yourself excused. :-)


 * If you want to work on an article in article-space like that, just put at the top of the page when you start.  That will tell anybody looking in on it that it's still being worked on.  It shouldn't stay up for more than a day or so, but that gives you some time to work on it. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 22:58, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Here's an example of the tag in use, just to show you what it looks like. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 22:59, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Help with Xeer
Hi Somaliwarrior! I'm trying to get a decent article going regarding Xeer. If you can make some suggestions on the talk page or even some edits that would be great! --A is A (talk) 13:40, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Bile.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Bile.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:46, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Contests
User:Dr. Blofeld has created WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:37, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
