Police force
I write to register a strong protest at this edit. I do not understand your removal of a 'more footnotes needed' tag when the first four sections of the article are *completely* unreferenced. This stands in *stark* contrast with your actions elsewhere where you go up to removing whole sections on the grounds of not being properly referenced, or referenced to sources which you find dubious. I will reinsert the tag, and just to clarify any confusion, mark individually each section which has no footnotes. Buckshot06 (talk) 18:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
- That text is already referenced to the Library of Congress work that's linked to in the references section. This is the same LOC work that you copied and pasted material verbatim from on the Somali Armed Forces page, with the explanation that it is "public domain". So if that's alright there, it's alright on the police force page as well. No double standards. Regards, Middayexpress (talk) 18:55, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
- You fail to understand. Citation needed tags, as you should know, mean that citations need to be inserted. Whether you personally know that the material is sourced from the Library of Congress is insufficient; by removing the CN tags, you break WP rules about such tags, which are not to be removed, only replaced with proper in-line citations. You may know they come from LOC, and I now know, having checked, but what of others? But in any case, I'm baffled?- why remove the tag in the first place - it invalidates its whole meaning!

- Interesting. You appear to be contradicting your earlier assertions on the Somali Armed Forces page, where you argued that the same Library of Congress material (which you had pasted verbatim, without any inline citations) didn't require inline citations since that LOC work was public domain. At any rate, per Template:Loc. Middayexpress (talk) 13:53, 9 August 2014 (UTC)]
- As can be seen above via the bolded Template:Loc is subcategorized under Category:United States government attribution templates -- a citation via an attribution template under references at the bottom of the page is the norm. At any rate, I have no interest in quibbling any further about the obvious; so I've replaced the spurious tags with inline citations to the already linked and templated Library of Congress work.

This article omits any reference to the restoration of the Somali Police Force under UNOSOM in the early 1990s -- a significant, but ultimately unsuccessful effort that collapsed after the force's withdrawal in 1995. It also fails to make reference to subsequent efforts under the TNG and TFG between 2000 and 2005, prior to the establishment of Armo. Much to be added here...HOA Monitor (talk) 13:09, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
