Happy editing! _signed, Rosguill ^talk 18:13, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have recently edited a page related to the Horn of Africa (defined as including Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and adjoining areas if involved in related disputes), a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Hi Mahmood2028! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Somalia several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Somalia, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:24, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

if you want to write down information from Somalia your Wikipedia. must be correct information. The source is here https://web.archive.org/web/20130124010543/http://www.somaliweyn.com/pages/news/Aug_12/Somalia_Constitution_English_FOR_WEB.pdf, if not we will find it misleading and misused.

Thanks

LG

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Please be mindful not to perform controversial edits while logged out, or your account risks being blocked from editing. Please consider reading up on Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts before editing further. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:41, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Somalia shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Honestly I don't know who are you and why are you against us. I am Somali and I have edited correct information here. and must always be reality and what our constitution says, if you want to write false information here, it won't work. if you have any source that you quoted, let me know. 2A02:3037:262:9FB8:740E:1B74:EC1:DFC0 (talk) 22:10, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The sources are cited in the article and have been discussed at Talk:Somalia#Official languages, where you need to engage if you want to make your case for changing the article. Also, please log into your account when replying. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:14, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

we use the same source, but you want to turn the words somewhere else. Official languages ​​and second language are two words. and have two meanings. in Somalia: official language Somali(Maay and Maxaa Tiri) Second language: Arabic must be as stated in the source. The second language field on Wikipedia must be provided otherwise we use other fields. 2A02:3037:262:9FB8:740E:1B74:EC1:DFC0 (talk) 06:55, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is User:Mahmood2028. Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:52, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  asilvering (talk) 19:36, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain pages (Somalia) for edit warring.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  asilvering (talk) 02:19, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss your edits at Talk:Somalia#Official languages as you've been asked to. -- asilvering (talk) 02:20, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
