Dude, nice job! I was doing a project on UNSOM II and kept running across a ton of references to it, so I dropped the stub in there. Thanks for adding all that, and for the Pakistani peacekeepers attack too. Not sure if I want to break out the civilian massacre a week later, or leave it in there.

Hey there, wanted to reach out as you seem to be the primary editor in a few articles, particularly Abdi House raid and June 1993 attack on Pakistani military in Somalia where the use of the spelling "Aideed" was introduced by you. While I don't have any particularly expansive knowledge or linguistic background to help, it would appear that the generally accepted spelling is "Aidid", based on discussion in the primary article for the individual and the majority of established articles on related subjects. I updated the spelling in both articles while browsing today and wanted to let you know. If you had a compelling reason for the spelling (which based on primary sources seems to have been one of three commonly-used spellings in the early-90s; contemporary sources nearly all exclusively seem to use "Aidid"), I at least wanted to give you the opportunity to have dialog about it. I do, however, believe that consistency in spelling is important for clarity and understanding for potential readers and that using different spellings goes against that. Overall, the work on the articles seems to be quite good! --Slazenger ( Contact Me) 07:17, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for adding citations for Israeli support in the Ogaden War! I couldn’t get the wikibox to stay together when I tried after adding Israel to it. PeacockShah ( talk) 23:02, 9 September 2022 (UTC) |

Hi, it is often best to edit one section at a time, rather than several at once (as you have been doing at United Nations Operation in Somalia II). Not least because it makes it easier to spot and fix any reference errors which may have sneaked their way in. All the best, DuncanHill ( talk) 22:40, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

I saw your expansion of War in Somalia (2006–2009) and it's beautiful. I was originally intending to do it at a point, because it was a mess before, but now I see there is no need because it's actually brilliant now. Thank you. - presidentofyes, the super aussa man 00:08, 10 January 2024 (UTC) |
