"The nation also did not compete in the 1992 Summer Olympics..." Any particular reason here?
- According to the Historical Dictionary of the Olympic Movement book from Mallon and Heijmans, it was possibly due to the famine in the country at the time. MWright96 (talk) 20:04, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
"Somalia received universality slots..." Perhaps you can summarize this for readers who may not know the term
- They are called wildcards, but since they are not mentioned anywhere else, I have added this fact into the article MWright96 (talk) 20:04, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
"...the country's delegation was led by chef de mission Omar Barajab." Is this the official term, or does it need to be translated from French?
- Chef de mission is the official term and no translation from French is necessary. MWright96 (talk) 20:04, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
"...in a suicide bombing in April 2012 but their coach Ahmed Ali..." Comma after 2012
You have the Nations of the 2012 Olympics infobox; is there a Somalia at the Olympics infobox as well?
- There is no Somalia at the Olympics infobox at the moment. MWright96 (talk) 20:04, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
Great article here, just a few minor fixes and it'll be good to go. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 18:55, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
- @QatarStarsLeague: All of the points raised above have been actioned. MWright96 (talk) 20:04, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
