Main Country Page? Hey there. I've never made a wiki before, but I see a need to update the main country page for Somalia. I noticed that you have updated much pertinent information about Somalia that is not on the main country page. I am wondering if we can take a few of your entities and transfer them over to the main country page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.160.152.250 (talk) 01:36, 25 June 2014 (UTC) Lideta Army Airport Hi Middayexpress, please note this. The name of the airline at the time of the accident was Ethiopian Air Lines (EAL). Hope you don't mind the reversion. Cheers.--Jetstreamer Talk 20:24, 9 May 2014 (UTC) No worries. I thought "Ethiopian Air Lines" was perhaps a typo of Ethiopian Airlines. Cheers, Middayexpress (talk) 16:26, 10 May 2014 (UTC) Next steps Left a reply here.

Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link: dates years commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical). This applies to infoboxes, too. Thanks, and my best wishes. Tony (talk) 08:24, 16 May 2014 (UTC) Thanks. Cheers, Middayexpress (talk) 15:16, 16 May 2014 (UTC) hi brother Left a reply here.

Some cites are not in the right spot such as: Sarapoin, which is in Mogadishu, Alavaites in Zeila, and Malo in Berbera, Mosyllon in Qandala, Mundus in Heis, and Nicon is in Brawa not in Kenya. Also "Berbers" were the Somalis and not in Ethiopia. AcidSnow (talk) 15:46, 25 May 2014 (UTC) Left a reply here.

Middayexpress (talk) 19:10, 7 June 2014 (UTC) Based on the edits I'm not certain it's the same user. Perhaps most telling is that the new account has elected to defer to others for consensus ([1]), which doesn't sound like Hiyob. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 13:37, 10 June 2014 (UTC) Hiyob wasn't exactly above ruses, so that in itself is almost to be expected. The pages, idiosyncratic edits, and familiarity with Wikipedia bureaucracy are also the similar. Same editing time too. Middayexpress (talk) 13:58, 10 June 2014 (UTC) User:Hadraa I'm having trouble with the page Isaaq as it is a mass of confusion and edit-warring. User Hadraa appears to be editing generally in good faith but has marked at least one reversion of his edits - by me - as "vandalism", probably out of frustration about the lack of consensus on that page. The problem is one of communication, as it is not really happening. Still, since he reached out to you, perhaps you could investigate? I have no dog in this fight but there is definitely no consensus. (Also, he keeps breaking wikilinks.) Ogress smash! No prob.

Cheers, Middayexpress (talk) 19:28, 10 June 2014 (UTC) Shrekeezy Hi Middayexpress, I don't really see the reason why the "East African region" can't be used in the Shrekeezy article. African Great Lakes do not encompass the whole of East Africa. Also, people often use regions (not lakes) to describe someone's popularity. Versace1608 (Talk) 20:18, 11 June 2014 (UTC) Hi Versace1608. He is only known and popular in the African Great Lakes region, where his business operation is based; same with Mwangi. So it shouldn't be implied that they are as well in the Horn or Indian Ocean islands. Best regards, Middayexpress (talk) 20:24, 11 June 2014 (UTC) I understand your point and thanks for the clarification. Generally speaking, if an artist is known across a large populace, regions or similar words are used to depict their popularity. Versace1608 (Talk) 20:32, 11 June 2014 (UTC) Perhaps. However, neither is popular or indeed even known in the Horn. We can thus conclude that East Africa in this instance is an allusion to the East African Community.

The demonym for a place answers the question "What noun/adjective means 'person from this place?'". "Somali" means "from Somalia". It doesn't tell us whether or not a person is from Puntland (nor do the cited sources claim that it does). The word that specifically means that is "Puntlander". (Conversely, if "Somali" really belonged there, wouldn't "African" and "Earthling" or "Terran" belong there as well?) —Largo Plazo (talk) 23:28, 22 June 2014 (UTC) Left a reply here.

As you know, this new article was tagged by CorenBot as a copyvio. What actually seems to have happened is that you copied most of the Health section from Somalia into a new page. Could I ask you to please make sure that when you do that you make it clear that that's what you've done, in order to give attribution to the editors who created that content, as our policy requires? At the very least, in an edit summary; or by using the {{copied}} template; or by using {{split to}} and {{split from}}? Did you intend this to be a split? Were you planning to go back and summarise the section in the Somalia article? Because at the moment it's no more than a content fork, and should probably be redirected back to the parent article - which obviously I'm not going to do without your agreement.

As I am very sure Habar Jeclo live in this area, same thing with the construction of Burco-Erigavo road, it is not "copvio" I write it down my self and and cited it with a nuteral valid reference and about the Demography of Erigavo, which is at the moment primarly inhabitant by Habar Yoonis sub clan of Issaq, yes it was a "copy paste" but it had a valid reference that explains the current compostion of Eregavo. but yet you choossed to ignore it and state that Warsangali lives there although they pretty much do not have a precense in the city any more and i am sure more than 90% of theme left to Eastern Sanaag. Could you lead me to the website you that explains your reference which i think it is a book right? And I do not understand why did you changed the Demographics of Heis? wich is a small coastal town inhabitant by Habar Jeclo sub clan of Issaq same story with Armale and Garadag which also have large populations of Habar Younis and Habar Jeclo who intermarry with other Darood clans in the area from Erigavo all the way to Yobe in eastern Sanaag by the Habar Yoonis and From Caynabo to Xudun by Habar Jeclo in mid Sool if it was a "copy paste" i would understand, but you seem to insist on Erasing or making up Demographics of people how reside in western and mid Sanaag and Sool and just label theme as "disputed areas" while in easterm Sanaag you openly disclose on the Demographics. and your reference is a book i cant really examine it could you lead me to a webpage that containes the info's of your solid referenece? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reer Woqooyi (talk • contribs) 17:44, 30 June 2014 (UTC) I clearly wrote above that given the contentious nature of the SSC region, all edits will have to be discussed and agreed to beforehand and only then implemented. However, you made no such effort. Instead, you literally copied and pasted material from here. That's indeed a copyright violation. Regards, Middayexpress (talk) 17:58, 30 June 2014 (UTC) but Middayexpress, you also did not discuss anything with anybody and yet made countless articles (about the counterversial SSC) based on your refrences. just few days ago, in Puntland–Somaliland dispute page, you added this paragraph "On 12 June 2014, heavily armed Somaliland..." without any dicussions or consult with me. you did not even ask my approval since i am the one how paste the source in the first place. and you came and toke advantage on that in a very parstrain way . I did not erase anything since the source i paste and your new addtion of Info still match each other. Even if it was a "copy paste" i did not play around or erase your work like you did to mine. the same thing with the paragraph I made above it. I did not have any opposed respond from you so i though since the source is correct you will not interfare. but you did in many of my articles of cities west and mid Sanaag, this is double standards that I can not tolorate . Unless you dont find any thing wrong with the reference, I strongly recommend you do not erase it. The link is well cited in MLA format it does not violate any copyright I mentioned the name of the webpage and its URL with the date and everything. I even used your own way of reporting from a well known nuteral reference not a "copy paste" as you just said. So what is the issue? you on the other hand , made biased statments based on a specific time frame articles, for example in the case of Erigavo it was a mix city of many tribes including Darood and Issaq in the 70s and 80s (a non majority exist). Once the city fall down in the hands of SNM rebels in 1991, a war broke up between the Issaq clans that made most Darood clans and other smaller tribes move east thus, only Issaq stayed at the city. Once the peace have been made even more Issaq came in and Settle till today. However, you choosed to make the Warsangli a majority by stating that they are "well represented" and than mentioning a existance of Issaq like if they are a minority living on the outskirts of the city while the truth is the other way around (only of course if your sources is talking about the Demog of the 13 century Warsangali's Sultan era) on that i do not have any Info and strongly suspect of its validity. I am sure you have read my reference throughly, unless you correct me I think it is save to say that the city is inhabitant by wide majority of Issaq. based on my well doucumented and valid reference the cities in western Sanaag is inhabitant by a pure majority of Issaq tribes as from 1993 and afterwards. I added the demography section to it only to be erased later by you with no valid reason other than "outdated or copyvio". On the case of Armale and Gargadag those cities have a large population of Issaq tribes so if they are a not majority they make at least half of the population. there is another matter of you erasing the construction of Burco-Erigavo road in Erigavo page. please explain the reasons behinde your move. above theme all, even if my citing was wrong and ill cited while it is true, you have a moral abligation of corrcting it and display its point of view, unless of course, you want to mislead the average reader by the faults Info that was there for a long time. If you do not respond in 48 hours i will consider it approval on my statements, and thus, I hope you put it back as it was and never erase it again. regards SSC region Dispute Dear Middayexpress why did you erase the Demographics of the city of El Afwayne?
