Disambiguation link notification for December 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ja'Din shootdown incident, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Battle of Raqqa (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Explain your revert

Please explain this. Why exactly do you have a preference for ungrammatical English? --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:04, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see you have reverted all edits. here's the deal: we only have the US's word that these people were Al Shabaab. If you check the source - e.g. [1] you'll see the phrasing is " US military says it has killed 62 fighters". There is no independent verification of the word of the people doing the killing - the US. Without such verification, we would be wise to hedge the article, rather than credulously take the US at its word. So. Please a) check out WP:Own and b) explain yourself. --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:11, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When they say 62 militants its not people they believe are. It takes hours to monitor and confirm targets as well as get confirmation that there are no Somali troops or allied militias in the region. If there are any civilians in the area they will not attack. Earlier this year they aborted an airstrike in mid air because there was too many clouds. If you see a large group of men armed with AK-47's, explosives and gun trucks and an uptick of foreign radio traffic in a town that has been known to house terrorists next to a military base then you know who they are. User:Weathin(talk) 01:28, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The US has a long track record of killing groups of people, calling them "terrorists" only for others to identify that they are eg. wedding parties. "If there are any civilians in the area they will not attack" is just cobblers [2]. --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:54, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am very familiar with the US Military mission in Africa particularly in Somalia. I can assure that such an operation would not take place if civilians were present as the consequences would be tremendous. User:Weathin (talk) 02:04, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Operation Tangham moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Operation Tangham, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine infobox

Hi Weathin, I just reverted your edit to Template:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine infobox because as explained in Q2 of Talk:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine/FAQ:

"A discussion took place to decide whether countries supplying arms should be listed in the infobox, and the outcome was 'No Consensus'.

"Please do not add individual countries without discussing here first. While consensus can change, please review the closed discussion, and try to bring forward novel arguments."

See also this more recent RFC on the same topic that also closed "No Consensus". If you feel that you have a new argument that wasn't covered in those 2 RFCs you should bring them to Talk:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine for discussion.
