Abdi House raid ↗

Dude, nice job! I was doing a project on UNSOM II and kept running across a ton of references to it, so I dropped the stub in there. Thanks for adding all that, and for the Pakistani peacekeepers attack too. Not sure if I want to break out the civilian massacre a week later, or leave it in there.

Some editing advice

Hi, it is often best to edit one section at a time, rather than several at once (as you have been doing at United Nations Operation in Somalia II ↗). Not least because it makes it easier to spot and fix any reference errors which may have sneaked their way in. All the best, DuncanHill (talk) 22:40, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

:Thank you for the advice, I will take care to do so in the future. Whoopsawa (talk) 23:01, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
::Thanks, and don't hesitate to ask for help if you do run into problems with referencing. DuncanHill (talk) 23:04, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

|style="vertical-align: middle; padding: 3px;" | I saw your expansion of War in Somalia (2006–2009) ↗ and it's beautiful. I was originally intending to do it at a point, because it was a mess before, but now I see there is no need because it's actually brilliant now. Thank you. - '''presidentofyes''', the '''super aussa ↗ man''' 00:08, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

:@Presidentofyes12 Your kind words are much appreciated, thank you. Still lots to be fixed up, but it's getting there. Whoopsawa (talk) 01:34, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Staghound and other amazing pictures

Thank you for the amazing T17E1 Staghound ↗ picture!! Where did you find the original source document about the Somali government's activities in the 1960s? Is it in a library or archive somewhere? Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 20:28, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

:@Buckshot06 Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately the majority of the Somali gov books I find and scan from are taken off private sellers. This specific one was being sold off by some professor. Looking at Worldcat ↗, it seems a few copies are available at university libraries as well. Worth looking to see if any are near you. https://search.worldcat.org/title/11710637 Whoopsawa (talk) 21:04, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

::Super many thanks!! I have found one nearby. How many such books have you found, and are they all in the citations to the pictures? Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 06:58, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
:::I've probably found a dozen or so at this point, but I have only uploaded from two Somali government books and they are both cited in their respective uploads. The 1982 war pictures ↗ are from the book Ethiopia's Invasion of Somalia, 1982-83 ↗ and as for the 1960s gov activities book I've only uploaded the Staghound image so far.
