You have the burden to provide sources for said changes. Taking a look at the edit, it looked like you just removed content. 🪷 nahida 16:57, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Official facebook of the band 2A02:B023:12:AE7A:7B37:CF4:8115:7942 (talk) 16:59, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's a self published source and is unlikely to be accepted, sorry. Sources need to be independent of the subject (not owned, controlled or operated by the band in this case). » Gommeh (he/him) 17:01, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Understandable, but another issue was you deleted the entire timeline of the band's history. Instead, you should have asked for help on how to add the new information. And @Nahida is right. » Gommeh (he/him) 16:58, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I updated English Teacher's page to show they won a Youth Music Award in 2022, which can be seen here, but you removed it? 88.151.155.50 (talk) 14:56, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

yes, that was an accident and has already been undone. » Gommeh (he/him) 14:58, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Majid8097 (talk) 15:14, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! What seems to be the issue on Daallo Airlines? » Gommeh (he/him) 15:16, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting back to me. I wanted to share some updated and locally observed information regarding Daallo Airlines’ fleet. I’ve personally seen three active Boeing 737s operated by Daallo Airlines at Aden Adde International Airport (Mogadishu). These aircraft are currently involved in evacuation flights for Somali pilgrims traveling to Saudi Arabia for Eid al-Adha. They’re clearly active and regularly operating. Additionally, Daallo now operates a De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400, which is a relatively recent addition to their fleet. It’s been visible at the airport and appears to be in use. I also came across a recent TikTok video that visually confirms the presence of multiple Daallo 737s at the airport. I’d be happy to share it as evidence if that helps support these observations. My goal is simply to help ensure the Wikipedia article reflects the current and verifiable status of Daallo Airlines. I understand the need for proper sourcing and am open to finding the best way to incorporate this information. Majid8097 (talk) 15:36, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, once you have found the evidence please by all means make the edits, making sure to cite your sources (see WP:CITE if you need help). » Gommeh (he/him) 15:44, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I’ve updated the fleet section with the current aircraft Daallo is using — 5Y-FQB, 5Y-FQC, 5Y-KQB, and the Dash 8 (7Q-DAL). I’ve got all the sources ready (JetPhotos, Planespotters, Airfleets, and even a video of the water salute for 7Q-DAL), but I need help formatting the references properly into Wikipedia style. Could you help me with that part? Majid8097 (talk) 16:43, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. The best way to do it is to go into the visual editor, and click the "Cite" button. Then, either paste a link and hit enter to automatically format the source correctly. If that doesn't work, you can go to the second tab ("Manual") and, once you've selected the type of source (book, news, website, etc) you can manually enter all the details yourself. Then hit Insert on the top right, and it'll format the source properly for you. » Gommeh (he/him) 16:48, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tips! I’ve got all the sources ready, just need your help to put them in the right format and add them properly with the right citations. I’m not super confident about getting the manual stuff exactly right, so if you could take the links I sent and add the references for the fleet update, that’d be perfect. Let me know if you want me to send them. Majid8097 (talk) 16:52, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They look fine already. » Gommeh (he/him) 16:55, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are some errors in the reference page. Majid8097 (talk) 16:58, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, they didn't pop up when I checked last time. Investigating now. » Gommeh (he/him) 17:00, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sneaky! Let me hear from you. Majid8097 (talk) 17:01, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see the issue now. Looks like the issue is the named references you tried to add. If you want to add a reference and give it a name for easier citing, when you first cite it you need to do something like this:

<ref name="NYT-Trump">{{Cite news |last=Baker |first=Peter |date=2025-06-03 |title=As Trump Says He’s Stamping Out Antisemitism, He Advances Similar Tropes |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/us/politics/trump-antisemitism.html |access-date=2025-06-03 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

Which produces:^[1]. The <ref name="NYT-Trump"> before the beginning of {{Cite news}} is important as that's where you give your source a name. In other words, that's where you'd put KQB, FQB, etc. You'll have to do this using the source editor. » Gommeh (he/him) 17:09, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, Planespotters is not a reliable source per WP:PLANESPOTTERS. I've removed everything from Planespotters from the article. » Gommeh (he/him) 17:26, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Majid8097: Can you please send me the links to the sources you want to use? » Gommeh (he/him) 17:35, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for helping me refine the fleet section, your feedback really helped clean up the structure and citations. I ended up replacing Planespotters with Airfleets and Malta Aviation Outlook (a reliable and official aviation news Facebook page confirming the the recent acquisition of the dash 8 by Daallo Airlines). If you come across a better source for the Dash 8 let me know. Really appreciate your time on this! Majid8097 (talk) 18:18, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Facebook pages are considered unreliable per WP:RSPFACEBOOK. Additionally, the issue with the named sources is still there and I can't do much without links to the sources. » Gommeh (he/him) 18:20, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I excluded the Facebook page. Now am I good to go? Majid8097 (talk) 18:42, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know you're fine. Just double check everything against WP:RSP to be safe. » Gommeh (he/him) 18:44, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also see Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Style guide since that applies here too. » Gommeh (he/him) 18:46, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man, really appreciate the help. I’ll make sure to double check with WP:RSP and go through the Aviation style guide too so it all lines up properly. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. You’ve made this way smoother. Majid8097 (talk) 19:07, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. If you need help with anything else, feel free to ask. » Gommeh (he/him) 20:34, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
