Fringe theories about Mogadishu
Hi Ragnimo, I saw your comments on the Mogadishu talk page, where you said you would clean up the fringe theories being pushed in that article that would never be allowed on any other city or country page. None of the contemporary Ummayyad and Abbasid historians of the time, nor modern experts that research about that period ever include Mogadishu or the Somali coast in the realms of the caliphates. Fringe theories aren´t allowed because its undue weight.--GoldenDragonHorn (talk) 15:13, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi GoldenDragonHorn thank you for your input. I copied my response further to you on the Mogadishu talk page and explained my thoughts about it.
I will see if i have time to maybe make corrections/edits on a few pages, some related and some unrelated ones and include newer sources with more details. I am new to Wikipedia and don't fully know how navigate it yet. I will get more fimiliar with it first. In the meantime do contribute to editing as you already have. There seems to be alot malicious activity going on in Somalia Wiki Projects that i have noticed from reading the different talk pages and history of edits on certain pages. It's good to have good faith editors like yourself on board to curve this. Ragnimo (talk) 08:15, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Barbaria
I can give you my sources for the fall of Barbaria the seasea mentions Zoskales as a king that conquered Barbaria does it not. And it also mentions that a king of Adulis bragged about him defeating the Barbarians he would then conquer it. Then another source is from Harvard university Hamza Mahamed that states that The Barbarians would fall to two Ethnicity’s Harlaa and According to the Periplus Avalites. According to the local People’s of the area these people would fight for a Important city Malao the reason of its importants is because it contained mhyrr and other goods. Another thing I found was king Ezana of Axum Was the conquer of southern eygpt and eastern Sudan (Cush) these areas were inhabited by Barbarians so with these reasons I would predict he fought Barbarians. Also how come you did not note how Barbaria fell. Thanks TBftf (talk) 21:04, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
None of this is mentioned in the Periplus as far as i know or most sources on it don't even mention any of this Harla fighing in Malao or anything to that end. Barbaria is not even mentioned as a collective by Periplus and it's a general appelation to wide range of groups even in Sudan/Southern Egypt and Eritrea.
And also can you link the source so we can access it, because when i google search for it nothing comes up. It needs to be reliable and verifiable.
Anyways lets bring this further to the talk page of proper.Ragnimo (talk) 01:45, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Macrobians into Ancient history. 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. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 13:44, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Your recent editing history 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for 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.
