Talk:Kismayo

message: Regarding the following:
:"Kismaayo was largely built by Ibraahim Unlaaye, the wealthiest man in Somalia prior to the civil war."
References to documentation regarding this individual would be helpful. Some further clarification is needed, as well; a previous paragraph states that the city was founded by Bantus, so I am guessing that Unlaaye's efforts to build the city refer to development in more recent times. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 18:11, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

message: This kind of edit. Middayexpress, for Kismayu, with the edit summary 'formatting' but actually consisting of adding the Jubaland flag, to bolster that entity's profile, is not the way we edit Wikipedia. I must kindly ask you not to game the encyclopedia/wikilawyer in this fashion. Cease misrepresenting Somali issues, please. I've asked you many times - I've run an RfC - there are only so many other dispute resolution forums to go to. Regards Buckshot06 (talk) 11:03, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: This is  the same that is done for New York City, as well as other cities in the United States: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, etc.  However, unlike US cities, Somali cities don't possess a set infobox type. Kismayo is also within the Jubbland adminstration. AcidSnow (talk) 15:45, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed. It's standard infobox formatting, and Jubaland is an autonomous region of Somalia. Middayexpress (talk) 15:56, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 31 December 2020 

message: I would like to submit a edit request because o would like to add to the history section, it misses out on a lot of events such as the Warsangali conquest of Kismayo and the Wamo kingdoms. It also has some minor errors that I would like to fix Kismayo was never a city state it doesn’t even describe what kismayo traded it just talks about Somali and in my perspective it should be more specific. Any who thanks for reviewing my request.P.S this is my first time submitting a request so please inform me if their are any errors. Baxule (talk) 22:28, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

message: Under transportation, "A paved 528 km freeway links the capital Mogadishu with Kismayo." I would recommend that "This route out of the city is not open to civilians as African Union peacekeepers and Somali Army hold it for security purposes." is added. I was in Kismayo through July and August 2021, and lone civilians couldn't take this route out of the city; you had to take security (in my case SNA.) is a photograph of an AU base along this road, around -0.304, 42.5722 degrees good enough to source this fact? - Norkeys (talk) 03:17, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
