Disambiguation link notification for April 23
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sultanate of Mogadishu, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Buzi River. 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) 11:30, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
edit Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Sofala into Sultanate of Mogadishu. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 17:53, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
Hubat
editPlease do not attack other editors, as you did at Hubat. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Magherbin (talk) 22:02, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
Werner Munzinger
editHello, I've noticed that you left a message in your edit summary on the Werner Munzinger article (which I believe is to be directed at me).[1] I'd like to remind you that whoever added the "Ethiopian Empire" as his deathplace made that edit in 2009[2] and that my edits (nor anyone else in recent times) on that article had nothing to do with that addition. محرر البوق (talk) 21:48, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Harari people
editWelcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, content you added to a Wikipedia article appears to be a minority or fringe viewpoint, and appears to have given undue weight to this minority viewpoint, and has been reverted. To maintain a neutral point of view, an idea that is not broadly supported by scholarship in its field must not be given undue weight in an article about a mainstream idea. Feel free to use the article's talk page to discuss this, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Las Qorey
editHello, this is @Binglebarry,
I am here to talk to you about your recent edits on Las Qorey. Many of your edits seem to be bias and lack any evidence. My main concern is that your sources have no evidence whatsoever, use improper images without captions, and many fabricated things. Please do not use such sources as they do not fit to be anywhere near credible. Binglebarry (talk) 23:00, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Dini Ahmed Abou Baker
editHi! I really enjoyed learning about Dini Ahmed Abou Baker. Thank you for creating the article. Rosiestep (talk) 16:11, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for reading it! Djiboutian history is relatively understudied which is why I will continue to bring share more historical Djiboutians. Replayerr (talk) 17:24, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
editHello Replayerr! Your additions to Battle of Fatagar have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source. You must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. Read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Our policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:10, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello
edit"Find multiple sources stating he is from Maghreb"? Are you kidding? Did you read the article? Is the Maliki school mainly found in east africa or Zeila? Magherbin (talk) 17:26, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- We have the patrilineal line of Aw Barkhadle and is contradictory to the family tree of Yahya ibn Muhammad [3] .
- His first origin is: 'Umar the son of Dunyahwz, the son of Ahmed, the son of Muhammed, the son of Hamid, the son of Mahmud, the son of Shaykh Yusuf and that is Barkhadlah, the son of Muhammed, the son of 'Abdallah, the son of Sa'id, the son of 'Ali, the son of Muhammed, the son of Isma'il, the son of Yahya, the Qureyshite, the Hashimite the descendant of al-Hasan the son of 'Ali the son of Abu 'Talib, may God honour his face - whose grandfather was the Messenger of God, may God‟s favours and peace be upon Him! - Muhammed the son of 'Abdallah, the son of 'Abd al-Muttalib, and the ancestors of His (the Prophet) as far as Adam who are fifty.
- The line that I have removed is a fringe theory and should not be included in the article. Replayerr (talk) 17:31, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- The traditions state he was from Arabia meaning he is from outside of Zeila yet the article states he was born in Zeila. This is historically inaccurate and is the actual fringe theory. However I dont have time to go back and forth on this. Take care. Magherbin (talk) 20:53, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

CS1 error on Battle of Dul Madoba
editHello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Battle of Dul Madoba, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 10:19, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
hi
editRead WP:HOUND. I'm not going to contest your claims of fringe theory [4] which may be true I dont know. Following editors around is not appropriate though, this is the second time [5]. Magherbin (talk) 10:58, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- This may have been a coincidence. I have stated multiple problems I have no issues with you at all. Replayerr (talk) 11:58, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

editYour edit to Mahfuz has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. -- Diannaa (talk) 15:40, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
