Sources whose reliability should be established: [1], [2], [3], [4]. Besides this, many citations don't list author, date or even title of work. Please fix this ASAP. Thanks.Bless sins (talk) 23:40, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- I appreciate your concerns:
- Sources:
- 1) I changed the first link (nazret - a blog) with a reliable source. The others (Shabelle Media Network, Garowe Online) are reliable Somali on-line newspapers.--TheFEARgod (Ч) 12:23, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- 2) added sources you asked for. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 12:23, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- 3) for the references appearance: I saw a bot was doing that.. It's really an ugly work. I hope the bot does that again. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 12:23, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- Pictures: It's impossible to find free photos from the conflict zone.
I haven't even found copyrighted photos from major news sources, so I hope it shouldn't make problems here.There is a photo from Aljazeera's video --TheFEARgod (Ч) 12:23, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- OK almost all the references have been fixed stylistically. Regarding the photos, its ok if you can't find any. Some links are dead, they need to be replaced (or the content removed). I'll wait a day (for comments) before passing this article.Bless sins (talk) 04:26, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for doing that great work regarding the refs. Dead links replaced. Cheers, --TheFEARgod (Ч) 08:37, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
