My bad

Hi Dabaqabad, your revert of my revert was entirely correct - I had not seen this table with the percentages before in my 2007 census document, which is not the first-draft document; but your document clearly has it, with the numbers that you correctly quoted. Please accept my apologies! Warm greetings, LandLing 11:46, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi,

That's fine, no problem! I was double checking my sources myself to make sure but glad you let me know. Dabaqabad (talk) 13:38, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

User warnings on user page

Hi Dabaqabad, I noticed that you left three user warning messages on this user page – these are normally posted to user talk pages instead, so I have blanked them and moved one to User talk:Abdiaziz23. You might also want to look at tools like Twinkle and RedWarn for a more convenient way of leaving messages like these in the future, but please take it easy and read all relevant documentation beforehand. Thanks! AngryHarpy‍^talk 05:48, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

@AngryHarpy: Hi, thank you very much! I must've gotten carried away reverting this guy's many unconstructive edits to not have noticed.

I recently got around to using Twinkle and I gotta say it makes things so much easier. I'm still learning but I think I'll get the hang of it. Thanks! Dabaqabad (talk) 13:36, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Badhan, Sanaag

I noticed that in the infobox (settlement template is being used) there is a parameter called parts_type. This parameter defaults to 'Borough'. It is for listing local government areas within the settlement. In this case the parameter is being used to display the word 'control' rather than the name of a local government area. Control is an ambiguous word which is not normally used in info-boxes. It could mean military control, financial control, political control etc. Imo, the country or state which the settlement is in should be stated in the infobox. The sovereign state may also be placed in the info-box, but if that is going to spark controversy then it doesn't have to be. 'Control' is something that can be included in the text if there are reliable sources, because it needs to be explained what is meant by the word, but does not belong in the infobox. If there is a lack of consensus, third opinion or request for comment should resolve it. Amirah talk 17:13, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi @AmirahBreen:,

The issue is Badhan is not under the effective control of any one side. Both Somaliland and Puntland have influence there and both have in multiple instances deployed troops in the town. A control section would not adequately describe the situation, and would imply that one side has total control over the town, which is not the case. In addition, a situation map made by the European Asylum Support Office marks the town as controlled by Somaliland ([1]) while it is marked as shared by the situation map of the Somali Civil War article ([2]).

An efn tag right next to "Somaliland" which explains that Puntland has partial control of the town would be suitable in this case. This would be in line with my Kosovo approach which you can read about on Shirshore's talk page.

Dabaqabad (talk) 18:07, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Ok, I'll go with that as you wish, but I have some further thoughts on the issue. Firstly, 'Influence' is not the same as 'control' and the deployment of troops is also not usually mentioned in infoboxes on places. For example, AMISOM has deployed troops in various places in Somalia, but that doesn't mean that AMISOM controls Somalia (does it?) it means that AMISOM is there to help control certain security situations in Somalia. If a page were about a battle which took place in a particular location, then yes I would expect to find statistics in the infobox about troops deployed there, but not on a page about a place. Another example, British forces were deployed in Bielefeld, Germany, but that doesn't mean they controlled the city. Again, you would not have expected it to be in the infobox on the city, but you would find it in the text. Secondly, I think who is in power politically (both locally and nationally) is a stronger indication of who controls a town or city than the presence of military in the area. So, it's the reason the troops were deployed (to prevent voter registration according to the article) rather than the fact that they were/are there which is important. I suggest that a note in the infobox to say that - Somaliland's attempts at electoral registration in January 2021 were hindered by the presence of PSF troops in the area - would be applicable as this is substantiated by the article text and the names of local politicians would normally appear in the infobox on a place. Amirah talk 19:19, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

I agree with most of what you're saying. Despite Puntland sending troops to Badhan voting registration still happened (per SLNTV report [3]), as well as in Dhahar ([4]). Badhan also partook in the latest two presidential elections of Somaliland ([5], [6] Ctrl+F and search "Badhan"). In a note next to Somaliland in the infobox you could add that Puntland has significant influence in the area or partial control. That should be fine and accurately describe the situation. Dabaqabad (talk) 19:56, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. I have amended the parts_type parameter and added a footnote instead. Amirah talk 21:18, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Somali Civil War

The map in the infobox doesn't have a key (to say what the colour coding represents) so it would help if one were produced. Also any information given on a map should be backed up in the text, if it is not and information on the map is disputed, perhaps there should be a discussion on the talk page about whether the map should be updated or removed from the page. Amirah talk 19:39, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

@AmirahBreen: The map is accurate and has been in the article since at least 2006. Since the Puntland-Somaliland dispute is not part of the Somali Civil War any addition to it would be irrelevant.

The map does indeed contain a key (see [7]). Dabaqabad (talk) 19:56, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

I've added a key to the infobox now. Amirah talk 10:39, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi User:Dabaqabad please open up a 3rd party request so our dispute can be resolved. I also noted you left a warning on my page I'd appreciate it if you didn't since this goes against Wikipedia guidelines. Thank you. Wadamarow (talk) 01:36, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for being reasonable on the Islamic Emirate thing

Half of the arguments against the merger rely on the faulty argument the Emirate stopped existing after 2001. They didn’t. The ‘Taliban’ in the Taliban insurgency ARE them, and we just switched to the nickname and called it an insurgency instead of a civil war because we thought they had lost……and they didn’t.

I personally think the “Taliban” article should be merged in as well. 3 phases. Pre-Civil War, Civil War, and Post-Civil War. all on one article, because it’s the same exact Emirate continuously.

Help me out if you can.

Hello,

It is absurd to split the article into two separate articles when it's the exact same entity. As for the Taliban article, I don't think a merger is necessary. The article covers the organization itself, while the Emirate article covers the government that the organization rules. Same way the US government and the Democratic party both have separate articles. Dabaqabad (talk) 13:05, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

About deleting descriptions

I think there are some problems with your editing in Wadamago. I think your interpretation of "home well" is wrong (see Hunt, p.154, section 465), but I will try to comment on your understanding as correct. With edits like yours, the description will just be lost. For example, in this case, instead of deleting the entire sentence, you can rewrite the sentence "Wadamago is inhabited by the Musa Arreh..." as "Wadamago's well was used by the Musa Arreh...". In general, Wikipedian spends a great deal of time looking for sources for articles. Please be more respectful of other people's edits and attempt to erase as little of the description as possible.--Freetrashbox (talk) 10:47, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

The town is inhabited fully by the Solomadow subclan of the Habr Je'lo, as the other sources claim. The Musa Arreh do not reside in Sool region.

I hope that this clears up any misunderstandings Dabaqabad (talk) 16:22, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

You are also using the same book as mine to describe the article Dayaha. But I can't found your description in the book. All I could find is (a) Dayaha's location (p.22) and (b) the distance between Dayaha and Erigavo (p.45.) What is the page number you are referring?--Freetrashbox (talk) 12:21, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

This edit is also incomprehensible. There is no source for the whole section. But you are removing only a portion of it. And you wrote the rest. You initially attached a BBC source, but there is no mention of Adhiadeye.--Freetrashbox (talk) 13:19, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Notice of Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a report involving you at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement regarding a possible violation of an Arbitration Committee decision. The thread is Dabaqabad. Thank you. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 17:35, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi Dabaqabad! Since we're both over our word limits on the AE page I'm replying to you here.

With regard to the thanks you sent me for this edit, I was already finding it weird why you did that one hour after I opened an AE case against you, but in the light of the new diff brought up at the AE case, it's hard not to understand it as an attempt to lead me to not look further into it and actually find and mention that diff at the AE. You have been trying to be subtly deceptive like that in a number of ways, though it's perhaps because I can see through it that I'm not really holding it against you.

With regard to the sources used at the Ishaaq bin Ahmed page: as I already stated before, what your argument basically comes down to is that, just because a respectable scholar like Alessandro Gori carried out research on Somali Islamic hagiographies, we can regard these hagiographies themselves as directly usable sources which can just be taken on their word. That's not how it works. If you were to use scholars like Gori directly as a source (without misrepresenting them, as you also misrepresented Ioan Lewis in the past), then yes, Gori's word (his word, not his primary sources' word!) would carry more weight than Lewis's. But of course, the hagiographies' word doesn't carry more weight than Lewis's word! As it is, the only serious scholar cited on that page is Lewis, and according to him, the stories surrounding Ishaaq bin Ahmed are essentially part of a religio-nationalistic myth. It's not my view, it's the scholarly view, and we are explicitly prohibited from creating a false balance between the scholarly point of view and the view of hagiographs and non-independent sources.

Anyway, I don't think you really understand what I'm trying to say, or why it is important. But the fact of the matter is that what I'm saying is basic content policy on Wikipedia, and as I have tried to tell you before, your approach to sources just isn't compatible with that policy. I think your time would be much more usefully spent elsewhere. I'm very sorry for dragging you through this unpleasant proceeding. However, you need to know that if I didn't do it, someone else would eventually have. I think you would do great at another wiki, with other rules, but here it just doesn't work. Sincerely, ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 23:39, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

1. I was not aware of the AE at that time and only came across it right afterwards. As you can see here you're not the only one I have thanked for the past couple of days (or even on that day for that matter), and looking at the timing I frankly don't see what is so suspicious about it. It is laughable the fact that you are now accusing me of being "subtly deceptive", among a pile of other unfounded accusations that you have thrown against me. For that simple fact, I'm not gonna waste much time on this. It's getting ridiculous at this point, you're clutching at straws. It seems to me that you're hell-bent on getting rid of me from Wikipedia with all of these accusations.

2. I think you have misunderstood me here. Gori actually translated these so-called primary sources (again the vast majority are independent secondary sources but that is entirely besides the point) and in many cases his source actually mirrors most of the text those other sources contain. That is what you are missing. That is not my point however; my point is that the page should actually be referencing Gori given that we both agreed that he not only is a reputable and respectable scholar but also that his word carries more weight than IM Lewis. Good that we're agreeing on that point. Since you mentioned that IM Lewis is the only serious scholar that is cited, and since we both agreed Gori carries more weight than him, I'll be adding sourced content after the conclusion of the arbitration.

Another thing I'd like to mention is the condescending tone with which you have been engaging me throughout all of our encounters, starting from our initial encounter at the Sheikh Ishaaq page. You are not to decide whether I am "fit somewhere else" or not. Out of respect I have chosen to ignore this and discuss with you in a respectful manner, however it is very hard to ignore now. Whether you think I should actually belong here or not is completely irrelevant to any of these discussions that we have had and is solely your own view. Wikipedia is not your garden where you get to decide who can stay and who cannot. All this time you have failed to be cooperative and compromising, instead opting with the most uncompromising position at all times. This is borderline WP:INTIM and WP:EMP. Dabaqabad (talk) 00:26, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

I can see how you find my tone condescending, and I'm sorry for that. It's not like I'm not bringing evidence or not explaining my reasoning though, so while I'm indeed accusing, I'm not falsely or frivolously accusing. The condescending part comes just from the fact that I don't like being the accuser, and that I don't want to give you a hard time. I can feel that you want to remain respectful too, but just imagine that you were in my position: if you're convinced someone's heavily damaging the project you're working on out of sheer ignorance, but you really want to remain friendly and respectful since there seems to be little to no malice involved, what would you do?

You want to engage me on the content issue, but that's not possible without a basic understanding of this website's content policy, and all I care for is (1) that this content policy is respected and (2) that this can be brought about in a way that is respectful to all involved. Most editors throw (2) right out of the window when they feel (1) is under threat. I try to maintain (2) as best I can in a situation where I'm uncompromisingly defending (1), but obviously that's not 100% possible. It's because there's an encyclopedia there that I care a great deal about that I will not compromise with regard to its core policy, and that I feel unpleasant proceedings like AE are needed. I'm sure you understand that, but then also consider that it's extremely hard not to appear to be the asshole. It's impossible! ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 01:43, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

PS I was not aware of the AE at that time and only came across it right afterwards. You posted to the AE at 18:22 [8], and you thanked me at 18:33 [9]. See what I mean with deceptive? I'm starting to think that my Hanlon's razor wasn't adjusted well, and that things are more down to malice than to ignorance here. Anyways, I do respect your breath of knowledge on Somali topics, and I can't help but like you. Sorry if that was condescending again (it may have been), but I was not being sarcastic! ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 02:00, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

I do understand where you are coming from given that you do seem to care a lot about the encyclopedia and the following of its policies, and I do commend your efforts in fact-checking. However, this does more harm than good and encourages editors to leave Wikipedia rather than improve their shortcomings.

Again like I said, you're not the only person I thanked that day, if it truly was out of the intention of being deceptive, then I would have thanked you after you and Wadamarow had mentioned that edit, and not before (unless I'm a time traveler of course).

Anyways, I'll be adding some content to the Ishaaq bin Ahmed page based on Alessandro Gato's source (which we both agreed carries more weight than IM Lewis). I'll show both sides of the argument; those who genuinely believe there is truth to these stories, and those who believe it's nothing but a legendary myth. I'll be much more careful as I'm adding it and you're welcome to make changes in accordance with reliable sources. Dabaqabad (talk) 12:04, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Somaliland War of Independence

Hi Dabaqabad,

This message is about the page Somaliland War of Independence. You changed the initial name Somaliland War to 'Somaliland war of Independence', and together with user 'Jacob300', commenced changing several articles on Somalia and Somaliland to match this narrative.

First of all, I respect that you put so much time into editing articles related to Somalia and Somaliland, although we disagree on many aspects that are out of scope for this message. But to avoid an edit war, I am requesting you change the article's name back to Somaliland War or other better description of the conflict in what was Northern Somalia or Somaliland in 1981-1991. I think you know that it was not a war to gain independence because you wrote that yourself in the article. It was a war against oppression with the aim to change Siad Barre's regime. How can the Somali National Movement (SNM) also be a movement for Somaliland independence? It doesn't make sense. The SNM only decided to push for independence after Somalia descended into total civil war and the Barre government lost, as the article correctly mentions. For this reason, it is misleading to present the conflict as an independence war. Neither is the title consistent with the content.

On a more personal note, let's be honest here, you are pushing a particular narrative given your contribution history. I personally don't care whether SL becomes independent or not anymore. However, we should always strive for the truth, the good, the ugly.. all of it, regardless of how hard it may be to not satisfy our own biases with tiny tweaks here and there. Thanks for considering my proposal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SomaliHistorian9 (talk • contribs) 20:46, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Awdal, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Baki. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 05:57, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Eidagale

• I was planning on posting this to wp:AN/I, or maybe open a sock ticket, but saw your user page and thought I'd ask you first. I don't have access to the sources. Cheers Adakiko (talk)

On Eidagale (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) multiple IPs, likely the same person, is adding unsourced / poorly sourced / circular sourced content to the Eidagale article. Much of it to the clan tree. No edit summaries. Also, likely adding to other articles. I have reverted multiple times but the anon replaces it quickly. Clan edits are similar to a now-indeffed editor Muuse8 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log).

• Anon's clan edit
• Muuse8's clan edit

What do you think? Thank you Adakiko (talk) 11:03, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Looking through both their edits I can see this is a clear case of WP:DUCK, and the IP is very likely to belong to Muuse8, so opening a sock ticket is a very valid course of action. That, and taking a look at Muuse8's talk page I doubt he's a great addition to Wikipedia at the moment given the countless warnings he has ignored.

The issue is, however, the content he has added is mostly correct (mainly Eidagale subclans and lineages), they just lack adequate sourcing (or any for that matter). I'll take a look at the content he has added and whatever non-Wikipedia sources he has cited to see if there's any sourced content that can be salvageable. Gebagebo (talk) 12:42, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! Adakiko (talk) 20:02, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

IP range User:197.231.201.0/24 was blocked for 3 months.

The anon added links to the Somalian Wikipedia on Eidagale#See also using a mobile URL such as https://so.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Daoud. See old version of See also. I sort of fixed them into Wiki links, [[:so:... The first two appear to be unwritten articles on the Somalian Wiki. I not sure about the last link. Possibly a clan list without any indication of such. No sources, of course. Adakiko (talk) 20:02, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

• Note: Eidagale is now permanently semi-protected. wp:CTOPS per talk page. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 07:49, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

If you think other Somolian clan articles should be CTOPS-protected, make a request list here including links & explanation as to why. {{pagelinks}} is a good template. Notify Daniel Case. He wp:PP Eidagale. You could also leave it on his talk page - if he declines, you could copy/paste to another admin's page. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 19:34, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I see you've contributed a lot to Isaaq Sultanate, would you be interested in a taskforce on oral tradition? Kowal2701 (talk) 18:21, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Daud is not Eidagale tribal leader, Elias Abdul Farah was tribal leader

Elias Abdul Farah was tribal leader and he died around the year 2000. His successor was not his eldest daughter Hothan Farida Da Silva Azevedo, and her husband, Mark Cyprian Da Silva Azevedo. The tribal leadership was given to Stanislaus Marcs Da Silva Azevedo, eldest son of Hothan, and Mark Cyprian Da Silva Azevedo. 31.112.22.13 (talk) 15:09, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
