Talk:Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed

replies: text: That's a simple typo. It was supposed to be '1964'. --Petercorless 04:56, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  1864 war 

message: Anyone know why it was expunged without discussion? --Petercorless 05:09, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately hardly anybody sems to use edit summaries, so it's difficult to tell. My own view is that the sioftware should be tweaked so that adding an edit summary is obligatory, because relying on editors' courtesy and good practice is obviously not working. --Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 11:40, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It was done by an anonymous poster. I'm not sure making a comment mandatory would help if you started seeing a lot of comments that looked like "aaaaaaaa" just to enter something in the box. --Petercorless 20:00, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Why was the implication of extrajudicial killings snipped?

message: This article is starting to spread POV fast and thick in both directions in recent edits. I have a mind to revert back to an earlier version. Thoughts first? --Petercorless 07:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The introductory section, at least, for sure.  "has always been a patriot..." Whiskey Pete 00:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I took a stab at a re-write, and marked what I thought were significant unsourced statements. I hacked away some of the most dramatic of POV statements. --Petercorless 07:08, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone is vandalizing this article, making puerile allegations on a semi-regular basis. It is always from an anonymous IP address which, of course, changes with each occurrence (most recently, these have been Pakistani IP addresses; about a month ago similar edits were made from the UK). Just wanted to make a note of this activity. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 16:27, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This man is clearly a Muslim, why is he referred to as "Yusuf Ahmed" and not simply "Abdullahi"? Ryan Albrey (talk) 15:25, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Islamic names

message: I have removed a rather incendiary paragraph that attempts to associate what appear to be targeted killings of certain individuals with the article's namesake. The material is all referenced to two self-published sources (a rather dodgy-looking personal website  and a blog ), which, per WP:SPS and WP:GRAPEVINE, are generally inadmissible as reliable sources since they are self-published. Over and above that, the material isn't actually about Ahmed himself, but about things men reported to be loyal or close to him are alleged to have done. The cited sources also don't suggest outright that Ahmed personally ordered the violence; so as far as one can tell, it's circumstantial evidence. To this end, WP:BLP states that one should "beware of claims that rely on guilt by association, and look out for biased or malicious content", which the material likewise clearly fails.

message: There's persistent introduction of non-encyclopedic material from unreliable sources which I removed in good faith. The IP@92.8.96.162 is also introducing controversial material with dubious sources in Osman Mahmoud. I reverted both pages but if it continues page level protection may be needed.
