Hello, I'm Materialscientist, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits, it appears that you added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you.

Gedo

Hello @Materialscientist,

Thank you for your message and for your attention to the edit I made regarding the Gedo region.

I understand and respect Wikipedia’s policy on avoiding original research. Please note, however, that the changes I made were not based on personal opinion or unsourced speculation. They reflect a current and well-documented political reality in Somalia, where the Federal Government has publicly declared and enforced administrative control over the Gedo region, particularly in Beled-Xaawo, and has explicitly distanced itself from recognizing Jubaland’s authority over the area.

To avoid misunderstanding, I am gathering a list of reliable sources that directly address this federal position and the evolving status of Gedo. These include government statements and widely cited news outlets within Somalia. For example:

- [Caasimada.net – Federal Government exploring new Gedo administration strategy](https://www.caasimada.net/xog-df-oo-kala-dooraneysa-3-tallaabo-oo-kiiska-jubaland-ay-ku-wajihi-karto) - [Goobjooge.net – Federal forces take control of Beled-Xaawo](https://www.goobjooge.net/wararkii-ugu-danbeeyay-ee-gedo-c-rashiid-janan-oo-ka-laabtay-beled-xaawo-ciidamada-dowladda-oo-la-wareegay) - [Shabelle Media – Fighting after NISA reshuffle in Gedo](https://shabellemedia.com/dagaal-culus-oo-ka-dhacay-beled-xaawo-kadib-markii-la-keenay-taliyaha-cusub-ee-nisa-gedo)

These articles reflect concrete actions by the federal government and a shift in administrative control that should be acknowledged in the Gedo article, at minimum in a “Controversy” or “Dispute” section if full status change is not yet accepted.

I will revise the content to better reflect these sources and avoid synthesis or speculative language. I appreciate your guidance and remain committed to contributing constructively to Wikipedia.

Best regards,

Gedo Somalia

Dear Wikipedia Administrator,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to respectfully appeal the reversion of my recent edits to the Gedo Region Wikipedia article, which were reverted on the grounds of containing “original research.” I understand and fully respect Wikipedia’s policies on verifiability and the prohibition of unpublished material.

However, I would like to clarify that my edits were based entirely on recent, verifiable, and reliable sources from July and August 2025, reflecting the ongoing political and military developments in the Gedo region—specifically the federal government’s control of Beled-Xaawo and related clashes with Jubbaland forces.

To ensure compliance with Wikipedia’s sourcing standards, I have included multiple citations from reputable media outlets that document the following:

The arrival of federal government-appointed security commanders in Beled-Xaawo.

Armed conflict between federal and Jubbaland-aligned forces.

Statements from the Somali federal cabinet confirming federal military presence in Gedo.

Confirmation of control shifts in Beled-Xaawo and the political significance of these actions.

Below are a few reliable sources supporting the edits:

1. Hiiraan Online (31 July 2025) – Somali Cabinet praises federal troops in Gedo region Link

2. AllAfrica / Shabelle Media (22 July 2025) – Heavy fighting erupts in Beled-Xaawo Link

3. Mustaqbal Media (31 July 2025) – Federal forces take control of Beled-Xaawo Link

4. Hiiraan Online (28 July 2025) – Clashes erupt in Gedo amid federal–Jubbaland struggle Link

These articles explicitly verify the claims made in the updated version of the Gedo article, particularly the shift in administrative and security control over Beled-Xaawo, a topic highly relevant to the article’s subject matter.

I respectfully request a review of the reversion and reconsideration of the content based on the verified sources provided above. I am also happy to revise any language or formatting issues to align with Wikipedia standards.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
