- I don’t remember posting anything uncivil towards you but if I did I apologise in advance. Yubudirsi (talk) 04:44, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for your contributions to Battle of Adal (15th century). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability.
I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page.
When the article is ready for publication, please click on the “Submit your draft for review!” button at the top of the page OR move the page back. // Timothy :: talk 00:36, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, this topic is not covered by many historians, Richard Pankhurst clearly talks about the battle in his book that I cited on that page, I don’t seem to get the problem here ? Yubudirsi (talk) 05:45, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

- Before proceeding, please read the following guidelines Independent sources, reliable sources, Significant coverage, Cite your sources, primary sources and Notability.
- Please pay particular attention to the significant coverage guideline, to show notability sources need to have multiple sources which address the topic ‘directly and in detail.
- Articles which do not have sources showing notability may be deleted or merged/redirected to other articles.
- Sources connected to the subject (in anyway) cannot be used to show notability.
If you have questions, please feel free to ask them at the WP:TEAHOUSE, // Timothy :: talk 00:53, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Yubudirsi,
Thank you for creating First Battle of Yedaya.
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
This battle is just a passing mention in the sources with no indication of the notability we expect from a stand-alone article
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Mccapra}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Mccapra (talk) 15:50, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, I don’t really understand what you mean, could you be more clear on the passing mention ? I don’t understand how that’s an issue really ? The primary source as well as the secondary source mention a battle taking place, they mention where its taking place as well and the belligerents, maybe there’s something I’m missing, also how much time do I have to add more sources ? Secondary sources covering the history of the Adal Sultanate are very rare, it’s really an under-researched subject. I just bought two more books which cover the topic, they’re set to arrive soon.

If you own the copyright to the text, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the copyright but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Thank you. Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 00:42, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- A “bare URL and missing title” error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

- Got it Yubudirsi (talk) 00:47, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, No.
- It was an extract of Amélie Chekroun’s book talking about how the Argobba claim to Ifat and Adal is baseless, I don’t know why you deleted it please be more precise. Yubudirsi (talk) 00:46, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- The thesis introduces fringe theory thats not widely accepted as explained on the same text “This idea was first put forward by Volker Stitz in 1973, then was subsequently widely taken up in historiography”. “Cette idée a été pour la première fois avancée par Volker Stitz en 1973, puis a été par la suite largement reprise dans l’historiographie”. Fringe theories are not to be put in articles. Do you think that the edit didnt also include original research about “mixed Hararis”? where did Amelie even mention this? Do not include original research and fringe theories onto articles. Its the Somali connection to Adal and Ifat thats fringe here and Amelie Chekroun explains this in the same paper. She states that Harari connection to Harar has not been proven and is perplexing, this is because sources are limited in Harar due to it being closed off until the 19th century. If you would like we will include your fringe theory (better worded without original research) however the line where Amelie Chekroun states Somalis made less than a fraction of the Adal army, they appropriate Harari Adal history and how Hararis have more of a claim to it than Somalis should also be included, see p.17. What do you think? Magherbin (talk) 04:16, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
You have recently edited a page related to the Horn of Africa (defined as including Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and adjoining areas if involved in related disputes), a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks’ noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Thanks a lot for uploading files related to Somalia, these contributions are really valuable and help improve the coverage of Somali topics on Wikipedia.
I just wanted to let you know that some of your uploads are missing proper license tags or source information. This can lead to them being flagged or deleted, which would be a loss for the Somali project. If you’re not fully familiar with how licensing works, especially under Somalia’s copyright law, feel free to reach out. I’m familiar with this and can help make sure your uploads are safe.
If you ever need help choosing the correct license or figuring out how to write source details, I’d be happy to help or even fix it with you. Let’s work together to make sure your uploads stay up and meet Wikipedia’s standards. Majid8097 (talk) 07:45, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
Yubudirsi can you please help me with the article creation for Somali Air Defence Forces. The draft requires minimal effort and I have done most of the work. What I need you to help me with, is the citations and that it doesn’t get cancelled when submitting. Mahadsanid walaal! Majid8097 (talk) 06:11, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
- With the removal of the WP:COPYVIO homemade coat of arms, and the Globalsecurity.org reference which is listed at WP:RSP as WP:GLOBALSECURITY, I have mainspaced this. Thank you for creating this article!! Buckshot06 (talk) 19:19, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for helping clean it up and moving it to mainspace. Appreciate you taking the time to improving this! Majid8097 (talk) 19:40, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
- Buckshot06 Thanks again for your help earlier. I also have a draft about the Gorgor Special Forces (or Commando, depending on what you’d call it). I’ve already done about 99% of the work and I was just wondering if you might be able to help with setting it up like you did with the Somali Air Defence Forces page. Majid8097 (talk) 19:52, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
