Talk:Dakkar

This is an Ethiopian town not Somaliland

User:Dabaqabad, restore the article to its original status which stated a town in Ethiopia. You're free to create a new article, we dont overwrite existing articles. Read map of figure 2, there's multiple Dakar towns in the region. Magherbin (talk) 23:51, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

The town was located in the somali region (Ogaaden) Doggor 75.118.24.24 (talk) 07:58, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

There's no consensus on its location, several hypothesis are already listed in the article. Magherbin (talk) 00:50, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

@Magherbin: Sorry, my bad. You're right. Dabaqabad (talk) 23:53, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Doggor was a somali town back in the 1400s, the towns settled in the jigjiga plains, there are reasons why it became the captial, 1. The infamous sultan of adal “Ahmed Arwe Badlay” had somali origins, 2. It was a strategic spot for trade and etc, both connecting the towns of harar, sek’a and other exclusive cities/villages 75.118.24.24 (talk) 10:01, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

WP:UNDUE

@Sha19999 On your edit summary you wrote "Per Wikipedia's editing guidelines on article size and layout (WP:SUMMARY and WP:STRUCTURE), a better approach to managing highly detailed content is to create a dedicated subsection (such as "History" or "Location Theories") rather than deleting the text completely. This balances readability for general readers while preserving facts for those"

Can you please explain what this means and how does this nullify WP:UNDUE? Preferably without the use of AI. Socialwave597 (talk) 22:05, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

you wrote on your edit sumarry that dakkar is near harar or something like that when thier is another view point that says dakkar is near jigjiga and the text your deleting says dakkar is inside somaliland but you just want to delete the whole text however Wikipedia is an enclopedia so all three opinions should be thier.

WP:SUMMARYSTYLE and WP:STRUCTURE provide a way to organize sourced material without removing it entirely. Before content is repeatedly deleted, the question should be whether the material is supported by reliable sources and whether those sources discuss the topic in sufficient detail for the information to be included. However the source your deleting has sufficient reliable sources and they discuss the topic in detail so I don't understand why you are mass deleting the content.

WP:UNDUE is about source coverage, not editor preference, and disputed content should be discussed rather than repeatedly removed without consensus. Sha19999 (talk) 06:51, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Yes all opinions should be there, but in the led we have four historians that say the city was in the Harar highlands while one says it was in Somaliland. Read WP:BALANCE, Sada Mire's opinion should not be 2 paragraphs long. WP:SUMMARYSTYLE and WP:STRUCTURE have nothing to do with this, your AI chat bot doesn't know what it's talking about. Mire's statement should be no more then a sentence long, much like the others. Also kindly revert your edit, since you broke the WP:3RR rule. Socialwave597 (talk) 14:31, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

You also broke the rule however next time rewrite the lead instead of constantly deleting content you have a habit of that and as I have told you before thier are claims that dakkar was close to jigjiga and sada Mire claims that it's in somaliland you also can not pick and choose what you like this is an enclopedia.

Why is her statement two paragraphs long, while the others are no more then a sentence long? Socialwave597 (talk) 16:22, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

becouse it's the latest research on the subject from as recent as 2020 while the other theories haven't been updated but a lot of it is unnecessary and needs be removed i agree Sha19999 (talk) 07:27, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
