thread_title:  Intro 

message: I removed the Arabic spelling of the word Somali because the vast majority of Somalis do not speak Arabic, though Arabic along with Somali are "official" languages. It is official restrictly to please the Arabic League, which Somalia is a member. Soomaali Nov., 15, 2005
*Actually a large amount of somalis do speak arabic and almost all Somalis know the arabic text because of the Quran. In Somalia, the early life of a youngster basicialy involves the studying of the Quran and the the Hadiths and most do this while learning arabic. not mention that there is a sizeable portion of the Somali population on earth (total Somali population) live in arab countries due tot he civil war.
:: The Somali language is related to Arabic, as are ALL languages in that area. It is also related to Italian, Sicilian, Amharic and Maltese, plus lots more. Don't forget the Greek elements as well. There is not enough history of the language, let alone history that presents Somalia as being part of the Eastern Mediterraenean/historical Persian Empire rather than as some sort of nebulous "Africa."JBDay 19:19, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Aren't they arabs? Part of Arab union aren't they —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmac800 (talk • contribs) 
Somalis are not Arab.  Being Muslim does not an Arab make, sir (or madam).
what do you mean arabs, Somalis are indigenous people to that land, not arabs,
Somalis are Somalis. 
The arab league is just a name of a club it does not mean that every in
that clude is an arab. The same with the European Union not everyone in the European Union is 
from Europe take Israel for example and Turkey.
If the America were to join the arab league would they become arabs. The answer is no
they would be Americans in the arab league, the same with Somalia. The purpose  of it was to make diplomacy between Somalia and the rest of the arab countries go smoother.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.202.233.126 (talk) 23:07, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Date standard 

message: As it currently reads (& has read for a long time now), over three-fourths of this article covers the history of Somalia since 1970, & about half of the total details General Said Barre's rule. Further, this article is way too long to the point of being unwieldly; I gave up trying to work on it 18 months ago. For these reasons, I suggest that remove much of the section that discuss the General's 10 years in power be moved to its own article, & replace that material with a summary. -- llywrch 05:33, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Time to split this article up? 

message: Someone tagged the following sentence with a request for sources:
: Regrouped Muslim armies with Ottoman support and arms marched into Ethiopia employing scorched earth tactics and slaughtered any Ethiopian that refused to convert from Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity to Islam. 
A casual reading of the primary source for this part of Ahmad Gragn's career, Sihab ad-Din Ahmad bin 'Abd al-Qader, Futuh al-Habasa (translated by Paul Lester Stenhouse as The conquest of Ethiopia, with annotations by Richard Pankhurst [Hollywood: Tsehai, 2003] ) will reveal many examples of these actions. Written by a sympathetic Muslim, this history details the looting & burning of churches, & the execution of Christians (or their enslavement). In short, his acts were but one chapter in the religiously-motivated violence between Christians & Muslims in this part of Africa that has occured over the last several centuries.) I could document his acts in this article, but Ahmad Gragn's actions are tangential to this article, & I am in the process of writing a new version of the article on this important Muslim personage based on this book. -- llywrch 19:47, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

;What should I do?
Don't panic; deletions can take a little longer at Commons than they do on Wikipedia. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion (although please review Commons guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.
* If the image is non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
* If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
* If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Commons Undeletion Request
