It's a bit discouraging reading an article about Somalia's history where they quote Herodotus as history without offering any caveat. This guy believed in giant gold making spiders in India, and his measurements for everything were super exaggerated. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2601:445:200:571B:9C85:8093:75C7:DC36|2601:445:200:571B:9C85:8093:75C7:DC36]] ([[User talk:2601:445:200:571B:9C85:8093:75C7:DC36#top|talk]]) 19:21, 26 February 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

The map used shows Somaliland as a claimed but not controlled region, this is inline with Wikipedia maps of areas with similar disputes e.g. [[India]], [[Morocco]], [[China]] and [[Pakistan]]...etc etc. There is no need to edit war over every thing. The map shows both claims in full, Somalia's claimed territory as well as Somaliland's claimed territory. Besides, we already have previous consensus on use of this map on this talk page [[Talk:Somalia/Archive_7#Map]] where majority of editors agreed map was appropriate and helpful to WP readership, (EELagoon who opposed was another blocked sock of disruptive editor Middayexpress), as such, Wadaad, if you have objections, or want to form consensus around a different map please use the talk page instead of resorting to edit warring. Lastly, the same distinction between Somaliland and Somalia is made in Wikipedia's default Geolocate feature. [[User:Kzl55|Kzl55]] ([[User talk:Kzl55|talk]]) 19:08, 9 July 2019 (UTC) |

Northeast Africa scraping
There seems to be a consorted effort to scrape the term Northeast Africa completely from Wikipedia and even online because Egypt would then be attached to Sudan and the Horn of Africa. One such individual I've noticed is Ryanoo. On this page he made edits which do not correspond to the information in the cited source. I think he's part of groups who promote the Middle East origine of Egypt and hence anything that can attach Egypt to Africa must be scraped including the regional term Northeast Africa which has always been used. I think we should report these vandalisms disguised as valid edits. Arboleh (talk) 17:40, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Horodotus on Somalia
It's a bit discouraging reading an article about Somalia's history where they quote Herodotus as history without offering any caveat. This guy believed in giant gold making spiders in India, and his measurements for everything were super exaggerated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:445:200:571B:9C85:8093:75C7:DC36 (talk) 19:21, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
Map #2
The map used shows Somaliland as a claimed but not controlled region, this is inline with Wikipedia maps of areas with similar disputes e.g. India, Morocco, China and Pakistan...etc etc. There is no need to edit war over every thing.
