If the English spelling is "Borama" (as used throughout the article), I wonder if this should be moved to Borama (currently a redirect)? -- Gyrofrog (talk) 01:16, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
And you also need to look at the population again and uodate it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rooble afdeed ( talk • contribs) 20:00, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
Recently, there have been some edits suggesting that Borama is in Somalia. This is is factually incorrect, as the town is under the full defacto jurisdiction of the Republic of Somaliland authorities. It seems to me that MustafaO that has been reverting the edits and is doing so based on an ideological or (more likely, from looking at his edit history) a tribal bias against Somaliland, and is misrepresenting the facts on this basis. I would like to avoid an edit war, and thank Kzl55 for taking preemptive action to prevent this. I ask whether moderators can take some actions to prevent these edits, such as protecting the page temporarily? Thanks. A nur123 ( talk) 00:44, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

The population of Borama is over 800,000 people and not 300,000 people. 2607:FEA8:3120:4A4:918C:B6B8:4503:834 ( talk) 08:06, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

This article incorrectly lists Boroma as a Somaliland city. Boroma officially resides in Somalia, as Somaliland is not an actual country recognized by the world. 2600:8806:2200:400:2D80:E21A:A4C4:52EB ( talk) 20:07, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Borama is green, beautiful city and also peacefull, as people say borama is welcoming and the people of borama are so kind and moslty educated. The Town has several mountains surround it, that is the weather is moslty cold with mildly strong winds in the winter especially at evenings.

The article currently says, "It was re-captured by the British the following year, in 1940". The British re-captured Borama and the rest of Somaliland during Operation Appearance, which took place in 1941, not 1940. Trevor Mangus ( talk) 20:59, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
Yes, I was saying that the source should explicitly state that Borama was recaptured in 1941. See WP:OR, and especially its subsection, WP:SYNTH.
You're right that this article doesn't have any supporting citations for Borama's WWII history. It's quite possible that whoever wrote this article lifted it from the Operation Appearance article, which appears to be very well-sourced. But see, Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a reliable source.
Which brings me to the fact that the most recent source you provided, [5], cites Wikipedia for much of its information, possibly leading to a WP:CIRCULAR/ WP:CITOGENESIS situation.
Because none of that sentence is supported, I'm going to delete the whole thing for now and close the edit request. If you come up with a good source, you can reopen this request and also feel free to ping me. Best of luck. Xan747 ✈️ 🧑✈️ 16:41, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
