message: in the infobox "flag-navigation" area (where you can go forwards and backwards in time, seeing who was in control of that territory) it shows that after 1960, part of British Somaliland became the State of Somaliland, and part of it became (or reverted back to?) the Dervish State,

but in the article for the Dervish State, it says that it was disestablished in 1920,

replies: text: Italian East Africa occupied British Somaliland from 1940 to 1941. Hence preceding it and succeeding it. The economic section was original research and misrepresented/attributed a false source to it; while the education section was a copyright violation. As for the independence section, it was just a duplicate and inaccurate with its claims about Egypt and China. AcidSnow (talk) 02:05, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

text: Please get your terminology straight. The Somaliland region wasn't established until 1991, when Somali National Movement rebels declared a new enclave of that name in northwestern Somalia.

message: Dervish State changed to the more appropriate uprising/movement. Markus V. Hoehne discusses this specific point:
A ‘state’ implies a minimum of centralised and institutionalised power (i.e., a government), a territory and a population. The Somali Dervish state indeed featured a clear centralised governance structure, with Sayid Mohamed Abdille Hassan on top... The Somali Dervish state never had a clearly demarcated territory. The Dervishes operated between different temporary local centres (e.g., Aynabo, Buuhoodle, Eyl, Taleeh) in northern Somalia and, for a shorter period, had also stations in central Somalia such as Beledweyn. When confronted with superior colonial forces, their usual strategy was to retreat to the sparsely inhabited and arid hinterland. Also the population of the Somali Dervish state fluctuated. It consisted largely of the close patrilineal relatives and wives of the followers of Sayid Mohamed Abdille Hassan. Only temporarily did the Dervishes establish more permanent centres of power and ruled over larger areas. Therefore, it is appropriate to speak of the Somali Dervish movement/state.  Abdullah Mohamoud discusses the Dervish in the context of a resistance movement: "Third and most critical was the ar between Dervish Muslim resistance movement and the colonial state. The long struggles of the Dervish movement (1900-1920) against the colonial domination have been extensively document so further repetition is not necessary." Other examples include  and . 
As such Dervish 'state' was removed from the infobox. Warsangali Sultanate was also removed from the infobox as it was one of several Somali sultanates present at the time, and adding all of them would clutter the infobox. The British did sign a treaty with the Warsangali in 1885, but they also signed treaties with the Habar Awal long before that (1827, and again in 1856), with the Habar Garhajis and Habar Toljaala in 1855. They then came back and signed the protectorate treaties with the Habar Awal, Gadabursi, Habar Toljaala, Essa, Habar Garhajis and Warsangali  (p.530). A more appropriate inclusion would be the Sultanates of Ifat and Adal. Kzl55 (talk) 11:43, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
