3 September edit

This is the second time you've uploaded this image without indicating its source. Additionally, the map data within the image itself does not cite its source(s), though it is based, in part, on a public domain CIA map. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 03:14, 3 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Fomerly anonymous Swedish editor? edit

Based on Marka boy's edits to various Somalia-related articles, specifically the edits to Hawiye and Darod, I suspect that Marka boy is the same person who has been making anonymous edits from various Swedish IP addresses (Chello.se etc.). Please see Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of 80.217.152.161 and also the RfC for 80.217.152.161. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 01:26, 30 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
