Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Magherbin (talk) 20:27, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
edit
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 standard message is designed as an 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.

edit Hello, I'm Magherbin. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

- I've pointed out the reason why? The citation and what's written didn't match Alan walker9 (talk) 03:22, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- Sewasew is referring to Encyclopaedia Aethiopica its a copied version of the article from that source. Magherbin (talk) 03:28, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- sewasew isn't an academical source, site encyclopaedia Aethiopica itself. Alan walker9 (talk) 03:33, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- This is what it states in the encylopedia however i've added your edits on there as well. Now people wont be able to see the content in the source itself because I linked it directly to the encyclopedia on google books. Magherbin (talk) 03:47, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- Cite them both, by the way none of the references except for the 3rd citation speaks about the Adal region the first 2 spoke about adal sultanate. Alan walker9 (talk) 03:55, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- We should leave the location in the geography section. Are you going to move it? Alan walker9 (talk) 03:57, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you mean? Adal sultanate encompasses the Adal region they are not separate entities. Magherbin (talk) 03:59, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- what's the purpose of the page then? Redirect it to Adal sultanate page.
- Also if that's the matter, add Zeila as the references mention it as part of it. Alan walker9 (talk) 04:01, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- I just did that. Magherbin (talk) 04:03, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Magherbin Here is the index for Encyclopaedia Aethiopica [2], you can easily make the citation for Encyclopaedia Aethiopica without linking that sewasew website. There are also a large number of free parts of Encyclopaedia Aethiopica on that website once you make an account (its free). Socialwave597 (talk) 18:21, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Socialwave597 (talk) 06:39, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- what's there disruptive?
- Solomon Gebreyes Beyene's assumption that Suhawyan could be both Afar and Somali subclans simultaneously doesn't provide any conclusive evidence. Because suhawyan is, in fact, a sub-clan of the Marehan clan.
- "Ahl Suhawyan clan of the Somali tribe of Marehan, Darod group"
- [3]https://isamveri.org/pdfdkm/08/DKM080556.pdf
- It's important to note that there is no clan named Suhawyan in afar.
- Therefore, it's crucial to avoid reversing my work based solely on this assumption, thank you. Alan walker9 (talk) 11:39, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- No, Suhawyan is not sub-clan of the Marehan. There is absolutely no evidence for this. That source you cited has already been addressed in the talk-page, the author cites Cerulli's works for the Marehan ancestry which came from oral traditions, not from the chronicles. If you look at the talk page you'll realize that there is already an ongoing discussion about this, you are welcome to (attempt) to disprove my claims before making pointless reverts like this. Socialwave597 (talk) 14:37, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, if you've read the source, it clearly states Suhawyan is a sub-clan of Marehan. Sebastian, quoting Cerulli (he quoted other scholars), could not be further from the truth. You're really intellectually dishonest making all this because Gebreyes made the assumption that it could be an Afar subclan in the same sentence, not excluding its Somaliness (no such thing as suhawyan in afar genealogy nor do they even claim him). We now know it's in fact a sub-clan of Marehan Somali, so could you please stop reverting it? Also, about the talk page, you're yet to respond there, so I assumed we reached a consensus. Alan walker9 (talk) 18:32, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- Let me repeat it again for a dozen times already. Sebastian made the reference to Cerulli's work in his source, and we've already verified that the only scholar that believes Nur was a Marehan is Cerulli (his opinion is included in the article). But in his original work he does not connect the Marehan to the Suhawyan tribe mentioned in the Ethiopian chronicles, and instead cites oral traditions. Gebreyes on the other hand, believes that the Suhawyan tribe was either Afar or Somali, but he isn't really too sure. Therefore, it makes no sense to add "Somali" into the header as the sources are divergent about his ethnic background (there's also another source calling him a Harari somewhere.) There is absolutely no evidence that Suhawyan was a sub-clan of the Marehan, literally nothing whatsoever. Neither Cerulli or Gebreyes supports this. If you have a secondary source from reliable authors stating so please provide specific quotes, page numbers, and lines that supports this before attempting to revert again. Socialwave597 (talk) 07:39, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Address the point rather than repeating yourself then, it's not that hard. Sabestian indeed cited Cerulli, a renowned scholar, among others that he cited. Cerulli's collection of oral traditions qualifies it as a primary source, similar to Gelawdewos' chronicles that Gebreyes used to link suhawyan to either somali or afar. The absence of a connection between Suhawyan and Marehan in Cerulli's work was due to limited access to manuscripts, a gap addressed by Sabestian confirming that it's in fact a marehan sub clan, literally the reason why secondary sources exist. Gebreyes' findings neither confirm nor deny the connection, leaving it to Sebastian who connected it to Somali Marehan sub-clan. Let's focus on factual evidence rather than prolonging this debate. Regarding the Somali emir issue, I'm open to removing it if you can provide evidence directly linking Nur ibn Mujahid to either Harari or Afar origins, which in my knowledge doesn't exist. Alan walker9 (talk) 14:38, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Sebastian's work is a tertiary source, not a secondary source, his work came from the source The Encyclopedia Africana Dictionary of African Biography which a encyclopedia and hence a tertiary source. Gebreyes and Cerulli's sources are secondary sources, as they are analyzing primary sources. I suggest you review WP:PSTS before making assertions like this. This shouldn't be hard to understand - as Sebastian adds a bibliography for his work (which is what tertiary sources tend to do), if we what to know what the the reliable sources say then we need to verify the secondary sources listed in his bibliography. You claimed that Sebastian apparently had access to "manuscripts" which confirmed that Suhawyan was Marehan, can you please tell me what "manuscripts"/primary sources he uses? Because I couldn't find any in his bibliography and he makes no reference to it in his work. It really does seem like you're making stuff up at this point now. According to Mohammad Hassan he is a Harari, whenever you want to believe that or not is up to you, but its cited in the article so Somali shouldn't be in the header. Socialwave597 (talk) 19:14, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- How does Mohammed Hassen come up to that conclusion ?
- Cerulli came to the conclusion that Nur was quite obviously Somali as the chronicles of Gelawdewos give out his clan in his nisbah "Suha(weyn"
- I don't know why you're complicating things, I don't even know why this is being debated. Yubudirsi (talk) 02:32, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

- the source was already cited, is this some sort of joke?
- https://www.jstor.org/stable/41966038 Page 70:
- "What is commonly accepted by many, however, is the fact that the Ogaden has come to apply to the desert region which is predominantly inhabited by a section of the Darod clan bearing the same name."

The article Ughaz Roble I has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Utterly fails WP:Notability; article based on one old photo. Moreover, I downloaded and searched the entire reference - the 1924 book by Burton - and he is NOT mentioned in this book. Therefore possibly a hoax.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. P 1 9 9 ✉ 13:36, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- he's mentioned in the cited burton book:
- "fierce and turbulent race of republicans, the Eesa own nominal allegiance to a Ugaz or chief residing in the Hadagali hills. He is generally called Roblay-Prince Rainy-the name or rather title being one of good omen, for a drought here, like a dinner in Europe, justifies the change of a dynasty"
- The old book wrote his name as Roblay rather then the known Roble that's why you couldn't find it. Don't worry i will try to update the page soon. Alan walker9 (talk) 00:34, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
