"damages" should be "damage". Awien (talk) 14:30, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The note reads

  • 1991 – The Somali National Movement declared the independence of Somaliland (flag pictured), internationally recognised as an autonomous region of Somalia, following the collapse of central government during the Somali Civil War.

Whereas it would be much more neutral to say;

  • 1991 – The Somali National Movement declared the independence of Somaliland (flag pictured), a de facto state that is internationally recognised as an autonomous region of Somalia, following the collapse of central government during the Somali Civil War.

Note on remembrances

[edit]

May 18 has been designated as the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Crimean Tatar Genocide in Ukraine i.e. for the victims of the deportation of the Crimean Tatars. The article is, I believe, in good shape, and we may want to include this per our usual practice, but we should bear in mind that the designation of genocide is reserved to Ukraine only (though when Greek genocide was first posted it was only recognized by Greece, Cyprus and Sweden) and that genocide is currently not the most popular appellation for this event, even though one of the few experts on this does agree with the designation. --GGT (talk) 13:15, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
