wikipedia: Somalia

Recommended Posts

Chimera   

to Peacenow and Geeljire, journalists, students and other non professional and professional groups when interested in Somalia all ''go'' or are ''redirected'' automaticly to the somalia Wikipedia page to get a view of the country's history and culture - this is a fact

 

case in point my teacher, she always had a low opinion for Africa as a whole Somalia included(not sinisterly) and she's a wikifreak the last 2 months she has been giving me compliments about our country's culture and stuff so it must be the improvements of the Somali articles that changed her mentality just look at the difference between the Spanish Somalia article and the English Somalia article

 

that is why it's better to improve and fight this systematic bias projected at our country on Wiki then open blogs or other stuff cause wiki gets more hits then any non Somali or Somali website related to Somali issue's gets

 

so it is indeed ''important'' and in a few weeks time i will be to busy to watch over these articles and the vandals might mess it up again therefore it would be nice if there were more compatriots taking a little time off and spend it on Somali wiki articles and making sure they look good and get to the standard of other articles, just look at the Irani or Turkish related articles no non Turk or Non Farsi dares to touch these articles cause there 200 Turkish/Iranian editors lurking around and watching over it

Dave, I'm totally convinced now. I'm going to practise my wiki skills and I'll help out in at least changing the page back if vandals mess it up.

here are some good links that will help you out make sure you go through them first so that these biased editors can't ''make up'' - ''rules'' and use it against you

 

Not to forget sometimes you will have to put ''them'' in their place when they break 'rules' cause there is a tendency on there fellow buddies part to ignore the rule breaking when it's them doing it

when you understand all of this they can't touch you and trust me they love to block Somali editors who might not know how everything works and award each other with barnstars

Thanks for working to keep sanity on many of the Somalia-related articles

 

etc etc

 

they are Vultures they don't give you advice no they sabotage you! look at me they turned me into a paranoid dude i can't even trust anyone anymore

 

ok now i don't want to put you in a war mode :D cause there are a few non Somali editors there who are neutral and seem to be giving advice to multiple ethnic groups when in trouble so make sure you don't offend them :D
