Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Asharaf. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 11:38, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Asharaf, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 11:39, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Asharaf, you may be blocked from editing. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 00:13, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello Sharifhashimi, please read Wikipedia:Verifiability. We can surely include the information you would like to include in the article, but we need a good source for it. If you have found such a source, please put it at the article's talk page, so we can discuss it. Thanks! ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 00:16, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

I have not added a promotional material as you are not aware of the true reality of our own tribe and family names that exists I am one of the sons which is named in the Reer Sharif Hashim Banū Hāshim and my own two brothers names Sharif Habib and Sharif Munye are my two brothers and we are the sons of Sharif Hashim Banū Hāshim a predominant and we'll known Ashraf in Marca (Meeks Cadeey) in Somalia. Our great grandfather was one of the merchant came from Makkah in Saudi Arabia. If you need a proof I can provide you a copy of our family documents. You have no right to deny what's our family writes to publish in WikiPedia even if I have to take actions against WikiPedia I will do so make no mistake. Please provide email address to submit our family deeds and ID. Sharifhashimi (talk) 01:55, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi again Sharifhashimi! I'm not a member of a Somali clan, nor is this relevant. As I've pointed out on the article talk page, reliable sources like Ioan Lewis say that other Somali clans apart from the Asharaf also claim Arab, and indeed Hashimite descent. We merely report what such sources say, this is the nature of this website. Unfortunately, your family documents would be what we call primary sources, which are not acceptable. We need independent, secondary (experts who have written about such documents), and scholarly sources.

It would be great if you could come up with those, but I would totally understand if you couldn't, since finding such sources can sometimes be very difficult. Google Scholar and Google Books are a good places to start, but honestly in this case I think you will have to go through bibliographies and specialized encyclopedias, and check what they refer to.

One more note: please also mind Wikipedia:No legal threats. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 02:35, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Sharifhashimi. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Asharaf, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 01:56, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
