[edit] Districts section, and other issues

The article said there are 6 districts in the region, though 10 districts are listed. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the name(s) following each district are clan names. I assume they are listed so as to indicate some sort of prominence in a given district. I don't know if this is supposed to be in terms of population, or political strength, or economic dominance etc., and I also wonder about the motive behind posting this sort of information. Forgive me if I'm not assuming good faith. Recently there has been a series of edits to Somalia-related articles (mainly regions and clans) on the part of various anonymous editors, and my gut feeling about this activity is that one or more people wish to assert one clan's superiority over the other, and they are using Wikipedia articles to do so. Even if I'm correct, this doesn't necessarily apply to whoever added the information in question to this article. But I'm not sure such edits contribute much, either. In any case, as someone else has already pointed out, references would be helpful. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 18:48, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
