Lead length
[edit]I know through previous efforts and discussion the length of the lead was greatly reduced from its previously overly lengthy state. But now I noticed the lead suffers from the reverse and is way too short to summarise the information presented within the article.
See MOS:LEADLENGTH, an article of this length should have a corresponding lead of three or four paragraphs, now there's only two. Zinderboff(talk) 12:30, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- The cut lead text was mostly excessive history, which should not be added back. New paragraphs should be crafted to cover politics, administration, economy, demography, and culture. CMD (talk) 13:33, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- The lead consists of 5 paragraphs now. I believe this issue has been resolved already. If there are no objections, I'll remove the "lead too short" template. Whizkin (talk) 22:11, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
[[User:Flappiefh] I wanted to ask you if you have time if you wanted to fix ur map about Somaliland where it says Territory claimed but not controlled and update it on par with the current state of the Somali civil war controll map. http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Somali_Civil_War Since Somaliland has lost controll of alot of land much more than what your map shows. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gobroon (talk • contribs) 16:12, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
Huge discrepancy for Somaliland's land area
[edit]What is the exact land area of Somaliland? The Somaliland official government website says 137,600 km2, the official web portal of the Republic of Somaliland says 176,119 km2, our article says 177,000 km2, but Google says 284,899 km2.
The Somaliland official government website's figure is less than 50% of Google's figure. For a small country, these are BIG differences. What happened? Which source is right? What is the exact land area of this country?

Somalia is ONE 🇸🇴
[edit]Somaliland is not an independent country, but is part of Somaliweyn.And wikipedia should delete false information that becomes part of their websites. Somaliland is not a country, but a part of Somalia and I hope Wikipedia corrects this as soon as possible!

Somaliland's status and disputed area

- These are generally interchangeable words, is there a reason you feel one fits better? CMD (talk) 11:06, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- There is a broad diversity to the English language but what CMD says is true, in this context they mean the same thing. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 18:03, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
