Dear administrators can you help me fixing a redirect from 'Osmanya' to 'Osmanya alphabet' ?

Seems to work fine. -- Scientizzle 07:36, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

notability of Adam I. O'Hirsi

Another editor and I weren't sure of notability for a new article you created on Adam O'Hirsi. I figured I'd message you to ask you about notability since you might be able to contribute to the discussion, which is here. Cheers and happy editing! --Kchase02 (T) 18:30, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed

I tried to make a footnote on this page, but it does not work. Can you please check what's wrong with it ? S710 19:26, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Done. Leaving msg's on your own talk page really won't do it to get help. I'd suggest going to the help desk, instead. Also, you've got to do {{helpme}}, not the {{help}} you put below, to get somebody's attention. These tags are tricky. Ooh, a few other good things in our boilerplate welcome msg...

Yaasiin Ciismaan Keenadiid

Please don't delete this author. The article as I wrote is only a beginning. He is a very influnetial and important figure in the history of Somalia. The SYL is thé single most important party that lead Somalia to independence. This man was one of its founders !!

Categories

Help me on this one. I've created the category Category:Somali novelists a subcategory of Category:novelists by nationality and of category:Somali writers. Now I exspected writers in the category Category:Somali novelists also to show up in the broader category Category:Somali writers. They don't. What is wrong ?

The reason the pages aren't showing up is because, on the pages, you need to put the text, [[Category:Category you want]] on the pages you want in the category. --GeorgeMoney ^T·C 19:24, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

So there is no mechanism that makes pages incategory:Somali novelists automatically into pages incategory:Somali writers into category:Somali people and or category:novelists or category:writers (in general), unless you list all those category on each page ? That's awkward !S710 19:31, 11 June 2006 (UTC)What the use of subcategories if they don't function ?

Yasmin Warsame

Does anybody know how I can get rid of the clean-up tag on Yasmin Warsame, now I've cleaned up the article ?S710 10:19, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Hawiye edits

Greetings, your recent edits to Hawiye caused the existing formatting (such as bold text and internal links) to disappear. Please be sure you don't undo the formatting when you edit the article (I suspect you are copying and pasting from the text itself, rather than the edit window, because the text does not change). Also, please do not remove verifiable content from the article without first discussing it at Talk:Hawiye (you removed "The CIA and Human Rights Watch indicate that Hawiye is the largest Somali clan"). Finally, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thanks again. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 15:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I've removed this reference from the Hawiye article: "Somalia Tribal Study, 2005, [1]". You did not include the source of this document, only a URL where it may be found (and I don't think that is who published the document). The document itself doesn't say, either. Without this information the reference is not verifiable. Please respond at Talk:Hawiye#Reference_needs_source. Thanks. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:46, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
