message: A user with the username Dhinawda keeps reverting the true claim below and he replaces it with a false claim of which his citing source does not even contain.
The true claim about Galkayo with a reliable source of UNHCR says "The city of Galkayo is divided into two areas, separated by a distinct boundary, with the main northern portion ruled by the Puntland
autonomous Government, and its southern part governed by the Galmudug State."http://www.refworld.org/pdfid/4f675c5e2.pdf   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.21.145.230 (talk) 17:49, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit warring over content 

message: I'm not warring over any page, I was just updating the page. Few things in the page are not true so I changed as it was supposed to be, For example, Galkayo consists of 5 Neighborhoods, not 4. Wadajir, Hawlwadaag, garsoor, Horumar and Israac. as of 2017 Puntland controls parts of Garsoor, Horumar and Israac while Galmudug Controls and administrates Hawlwadaag, Wadajir, Horumar, and Garsoor. Galmudug Controls most of Horumar and Garsoor while Puntland controls Parts not even Half.
The person who wants to ruin pages is Talk to Zakariayps, who is making new accounts and got caught. for example, his accounts which got caught is Talk to Dabcasarman94, Talk to Ahmedbari, Talk to Teknick3423 and he has many more accounts. This user intends on ruining pages and likes to spread false things pages about Galmudug.
I have no intention ruining any page on Wikipedia. I only edit Articles about Galmudug as I know the state really well. 
Thank you. Talk to Mohamed958543  —Preceding undated comment added 04:00, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

message: I think it is better to change the word "districts" into "neighborhoods" because it is more appropriate for consistence. I am talking about the first paragraph of the article which says "northern districts governed by the Puntland State and southern district governed by Galmudug state." 
I am saying this because the article Galkayo District already exists

message: As per the concensus on the talk page in which we have established that Puntland controls 3/4 districts in Galkacyo. That makes the following sentence in the article a little inaccurate
"The city of Galkayo is divided into two administrative areas separated by a distinct boundary, with the northern districts governed by the Puntland State and southern districts governed by Galmudug state"
Given the fact that Galmudug controls only 1 district called Wadijir (as per consensus on talk page) this means that the following statement "and the southern district((s))  governed by galmudug"' which is plural implying that galmudug controls more than 1 district which isn't true as we have established here. There is only 1 district in the south, not more than one, so it should not be plural, it should be singular : Something like "and 1 district in the south governed by Galmudug" or something along those lines to indicate that Galmudug only controls 1 district or nieghbourhood which we've established.
So instead of The city of Galkayo is divided into two administrative areas separated by a distinct boundary, with the northern districts governed by the Puntland State and southern districts governed by Galmudug state
Add
The city of Galkayo is divided into two administrative areas separated by a distinct boundary, with the northern districts governed by the Puntland State and 1 southern district governed by Galmudug state 
'''
Hope this doesn't sound ambiguous, thanks

message: I saw your edit and comment. I understand your argument, but the only figure that is not sourced is "850,000" and the figure "75,000 to 315,000" are clearly stated in the source. Your current edit makes both figures appear to be unfounded, so please be creative in your wording. Also, I edited the year to appear without commas, but a bot took this away. -- Freetrashbox (talk) 11:05, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem isn't the year 2010 in nowiki tags — it's the maintenance category that the cn template adds the article to, which is supposed to be , but gets comma-delimited into the nonexistent and obviously ridiculous  (note the comma in the year) if the template is placed in population_total. I'll admit that it's kind of a bizarre and obscure issue that wouldn't normally occur to people as a possibility, but it's a real thing that really happens, and really does interfere with Wikipedia maintenance processes, if the citation needed template is placed directly on the number instead of in the population_footnotes field.
