"The nation also did not compete in the 1992 Summer Olympics..." Any particular reason here?

According to the Historical Dictionary of the Olympic Movement book from Mallon and Heijmans, it was possibly due to the famine in the country at the time. MWright96 (talk) 20:04, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
"Somalia received universality slots..." Perhaps you can summarize this for readers who may not know the term

They are called wildcards, but since they are not mentioned anywhere else, I have added this fact into the article MWright96 (talk) 20:04, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
"...the country's delegation was led by chef de mission Omar Barajab." Is this the official term, or does it need to be translated from French?

Chef de mission is the official term and no translation from French is necessary. MWright96 (talk) 20:04, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
"...in a suicide bombing in April 2012 but their coach Ahmed Ali..." Comma after 2012

You have the Nations of the 2012 Olympics infobox; is there a Somalia at the Olympics infobox as well?

There is no Somalia at the Olympics infobox at the moment. MWright96 (talk) 20:04, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
Great article here, just a few minor fixes and it'll be good to go. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 18:55, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
