Lead length
I know through previous efforts and discussion the length of the lead was greatly reduced from its previously overly lengthy state. But now I noticed the lead suffers from the reverse and is way too short to summarise the information presented within the article.
See
MOS:LEADLENGTH, an article of this length should have a corresponding lead of three or four paragraphs, now there's only two.

The cut lead text was mostly excessive history, which should not be added back. New paragraphs should be crafted to cover politics, administration, economy, demography, and culture.

[[User:Flappiefh] I wanted to ask you if you have time if you wanted to fix ur map about Somaliland where it says Territory claimed but not controlled and update it on par with the current state of the Somali civil war controll map.
/info/en/?search=Somali_Civil_War Since Somaliland has lost controll of alot of land much more than what your map shows. — Preceding

The image below shows the land controlled by the self-proclaimed government of Somaliland as of August 2023 as the government no longer controls the Sool, Sanaag, Ayn (Buhoodle) region of Somalia.
Done. I've made the change on Commons, so you might need to refresh the page.

Refuse to accept description on SL status from reliable sources such as BBC
I added a reliable source that describes SL status, but there is a continuous attempt to refuse that by a person known as Buufin. The person reverts the change and removes the source provided and continuously tries to vandalise the page. What can we do stop that? How is it possible to remove a fact supported by a source?
Shahad9900 (

I've said it many times, and I'll say it again. Somaliland is no longer classified as a self-declared state because the Republic of China (Taiwan) recognizes it.
Buufin (

Reliable source and up-to-date that still describes SL as self-declared was attached. The provided source is cited clearly in the text. On the other hand, you cannot provide any source that states Taiwan recognition is enough to not consider it as self-declared. On the contrary modern popular sources still shares and describes SL as self-declared. Your change also must be removed immediately following Wikipedia policy in content removal as it is inaccurate and with no
citable source. We will hear from the community, but you are violating Wikipedia edit policy.

There seems to be some
disruptive editing behaviour, and unwillingness to accept cited source. I urge members of the community to interfere to build consensus on this matter

Buufin did the right thing.

Regarding the substance of the argument, I'm not sure that "self-declared" is necessary in the lede. Even if one source uses this wording, it doesn't mean that we should automatically adopt it. @
Shahad9900 if you believe this characterisation should be added to the lede, you should demonstrate that the majority of sources (scholarly articles, books, newspapers) use this term.
Having said that, adding sourced information is *NOT* vandalism, and accusing someone of vandalism is against
WP:CIVILITY policy and can be sanctioned.
Alaexis¿question? 21:39, 14 April 2024 (UTC)reply
Agreed it is not vandalism. It is however redundant; the lead should not have "self-declared unrecognised state" as that says the same thing twice. There is no significant emphasis difference between the two.
CMD (

There are multiple sources that used that terms for decades, will share it soon.

Huge discrepancy for Somaliland's land area
What is the exact land area of Somaliland? The Somaliland official government website says 137,600 km2, the official web portal of the Republic of Somaliland says 176,119 km2, our article says 177,000 km2, but Google says 284,899 km2.
The Somaliland official government website's figure is less than 50% of Google's figure. For a small country, these are BIG differences. What happened? Which source is right? What is the exact land area of this country?
