Somaliland

Not sure if this is what you are asking for, let me know if it isn't. For Somaliland to reach GA it will need to address these issues:

1. The lead will need to be expanded (probably to four paragraphs) to summarize all of the sections in the article (see WP:LEAD for guidelines.
2. The majority of the article is unsourced (each statement that a reader may question over its verifiability needs to have a citation). Look for newspaper articles, books, websites, journals, etc. for finding sources to verify the information within the article.
3. File:Somaliland 100 shillings.jpg needs a fair use rationale since it is a non-free (copyrighted) image. Look to other GA/FAs that have copyrighted images for examples.
4. It would be beneficial to add a few paragraphs of prose describing the Administrative divisions section.

These are the most pressing issues facing the article. Once these are addressed, contact me again and I'll look over the article to point out any other areas that should be addressed. It will take a lot of work, mostly for finding sources, but with time and patience the article can reach GA. Let me know if you have any further questions. --Happy editing!

Wow, this was only a few months ago, but I forgot ever leaving this message above! Keep working at the article, and again, if these above points are addressed, I can look to see what else is needed and help you copyedit the article. --Happy editing!
