Blocked

What are you trying to accomplish?

[edit]

You appear to be very focused on removing valid citations from the Hawiye article, along with other deletions and unexplained edits. If you are trying to make legitimate changes to these articles, you must explain your intentions on the article talk pages. If you continue to remove valid citations without explaining yourself, your edits will continue to be treated as vandalism and reverted. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 04:33, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll also chime in with a similar questioning of the intent. The so-called map by the "CIA" from "2005" was a crude attempt to eliminate or mis-describe some of the tribes of Somalia from discussion. The national boundaries also were far off. Please do not try to pull the wool over people's eyes. While you might have valid reasons you wish to see some information updated, we are here to work for the closest approximation to the truth, not to distort it for any reasons. --Petercorless 04:50, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
