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)

[edit] 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...

Welcome!

[edit] Yaasiin Cismaan Keenadiid

You can get immediate help from [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]], your on-duty Wikipedia:Help desk manager. Just click here to leave a message, and you will get an answer within minutes!

If you think your question has been asked before, then please review the list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) as arranged below. 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 !!

[edit] 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 ?

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] Hassaniya article

Issues You've got no source for the novel information that you're introducing and you're deleting information that has a source. Also, there is some kind of confusion about the term "Western Sahara;" it refers to a particular geographic region with defined boudaries, not a generic location, hence, it cannot include Mauritania, nor is it a part of "Moroccan Sahara." -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 20:55, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:3RR

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in Hassaniya. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.—— Eagle (ask me for help) 02:14, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removing comments

Please do not remove legitimate warnings from your talk page or replace them with inappropriate content. Removing or maliciously altering warnings from your talk page will not remove them from the page history. You're welcome to archive your talk page, but be sure to provide a link to any deleted legitimate comments. If you continue to remove or vandalize legitimate warnings from your talk page, you will lose your privilege of editing your talk page. Thanks. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:52, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I was unaware that user:Eagle 101 had recanted his or her 3RR warning. He or she should have indicated this here on your talk page. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 23:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re template

Hi S710! I have no problem w/ removing it. However, i believe it may be needed in the future w/ the exception of science fiction. But if you feel otherwise, do not hesitate to cut it off. -- Szvest 23:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC) Wiki me up ®

[edit] History of Western Sahara

Thanks I appreciate your recent edits to this article, but I would caution you that it has been going through some turmoil lately and your edits might get lost in the shuffle; please keep an eye on it if you can. Furthermore, I would appreciate it if you could cite your sources for your information. If you need help doing this in the body of the article, I would be glad to assist you. Thanks again. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 21:31, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks S710. You seem to have good knowledge of the region of North Africa, and especially Morocc/Western Sahara. Please keep expanding the article and remember that there is Pro-Polisario POV in koavf's versions that we try to clean. So that your changes are not lost.--A Jalil 21:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question re Visible URLs

Hi S710,

  • I already asked you this uestion here: Question re Visible URLs
  • Please can you tell the rational behind the visible URLs, so why you put them this way? I usually see sources linked the other way.
Thanks - wikima 22:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps you can read through this page: Wikipedia:Template_messages/Sources_of_articles/Generic_citations and see some of the examples of how I use these to clean up some of your pages. The way you do them now will not pass the muster when the articles are reviewed for "good article" status. --Petercorless 00:07, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] likewise

your edits are amazing, if I haven't said so already. btw, are you a somali (national, or born elsewhere)? doesn't matter, I'm just curious. Whiskey Pete 21:30, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:BIO

Hi. I've tagged a couple of biographic articles for concerns about notability and I wonder if you could have a look. The two are Rabah Deriasa and Latifa Baka, and you might remember starting one of them! Is there "depth of coverage" anywhere for either of these, or multiple independent sources with a bit of depth?? (I've only looked for English/French sources through Google.) Thanks. --VSerrata 14:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zagora.jpg

Hi,

I corrected the license tag at the file you uploaded. I think you erroneously placed the tag {{GFDL}} instead of {{cc-by-1.0}} according to World66 policy. --BotevFixer 12:05, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
