Amibiguous date of establishment

Both 1979 and 1981 are given as the date of founding in the article's first sentence. __meco 12:36, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A Sham

This article has two references, one a dead link, and the other an ethnic advocacy group that seems unlikely to be in any way neutral; so there is NO reliable source here. If there are no notable sources that can be cited, one must wonder about the notability of the topic.

The phrase "the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Somalia (a front of the Communist Party of Somalia)" has no reason for inclusion in the wiki without reference to a reliable source. Bustter (talk) 20:23, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

copyvio

Much of this article seems to be cut & paste: http://www.economicexpert.com/a/Somali:Salvation:Democratic:Front.html

It may be that the text originated here and migrated to economyexpert, but the lack of reliable sources s makes it suspect. Bustter (talk) 20:51, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

economicexpert is a wikipedia mirror. You can compare other articles of wikipedia as well, they are identical. --Soman (talk) 21:09, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Their noncompliance to the license confused me. Thanks.

Still concerned that this article is without references. Bustter (talk) 04:09, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is a problem. And to be clear, I'm to blame here. This was one of the earlier articles I created, and at the time I did not write in compliance with WP:V. I have vague memory of the editing process, I recall basing myself upon a wide range of web-based sources (some of whom perhaps are no longer availible). However, it seems that the key points regarding the founding are covered in several works available at google books. --Soman (talk) 12:29, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SSDF

Somali Salvation Democratic Front (SSDF) (Somali: Jabhadda Diimuqraadiga Badbaadinta Soomaaliyeed), initially known as the Democratic Front for Salvation of Somalia, was a political and paramilitary umbrella organization in Somalia. Founded in 1978 by several army officers, it was the first of several opposition groups dedicated to ousting the authoritarian regime of Mohamed Siad Barre.[2] With its power base mainly in the Majeerteen clan,[2][3][4] SSDF played a significant role in the country's complex political landscape during the late 1970s and 2000s. And Succeeded by the establishment in 1998 of the autonomous Puntland state in northeastern Somalia.[5] 102.223.190.49 (talk) 15:59, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
