Talk:Abgaal

message: This has been requested to be split for a while, but there is no talk or consensus, could the main editors (or others) please comment on weather they support this or not. --MWOAP (talk) 01:28, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Basically, "Abgaal" is about a Somali clan. The "Yaquub Sultanate" section is about a sultanate, and in my opinion belongs in a separate article. I'm happy to do it, just figured I would tag it first.  Obviously no one else has had anything to say about it, and then it dropped from my own radar. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 01:37, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, if you want to go for it because you are an admin. I don't have the privileges to remove the disambiguation page. If you want I can take care of it, but it would take more time. I do support this action. Sorry for the wait on the reply. --MWOAP (talk) 23:54, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Discussion on split 

message: A large portion of text was pasted into the "Yaquub Sulatanate" section.  It quotes Cerulli so I assume this is the same source already given in the "References" section.  However, these quotations are, I think, too lengthy to simply paste in to the article.  Instead of quoting such a large quantity of text, we should re-write it.  I've also noticed that the same portion of text exists on other websites (blogs, message boards etc.) (e.g. this Google search).  This needs to come straight from the Cerulli source (and be verified as such) if we are to properly attribute it.  I have reverted the entire edit, as the rest of the text lacked any attribution. Thanks, -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 14:24, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The "Abgaal Folklores" section has the same problem (i.e. quoting a source at length, such that it becomes more of a copyvio than a quotation) and I have removed it, as well.  The Cerulli source is given as "Enrico, Cerulli, How a Hawiye tribe used to live, Chapter 4, scritti vari editi ed inediti, Vol. 2, edited by Enrico Cerulli, Roma".  I'm not sure which portion of this, if any, is the book title; furthermore it appears to be an Italian language source and it would be preferable to know who translated this.  On a related note, the "Poetry" section didn't actually cite any sources, just numbers (21 and 22). It wasn't clear if these referred to one of the existing references; I have replaced the incomplete citations with  tags. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 15:42, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
