Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Puntland appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 23:22, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Puntland. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If you feel this material merits inclusion, please re-write it in your own words and from a neutral point-of-view. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 00:14, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Mohammed Abdullah Hassan‎ . Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 00:18, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your Puntland edits: The text in question was evidently copied from here. Even if we are allowed to use this (for example, you are the author), it would need to be re-written to Wikipedia's standards. As written, it would not conform to a neutral point-of-view. Thanks, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 01:25, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Mohamed Abdi Hashi has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks.
