[edit] Disputed

Claiming majority in Togdheer, Sanaag and Sool is just asking pov-tagging.

The Dhulbahante live in a small village in Togdheer, are almost non-existant in Sanaag and share Sool with the Habar Jeclo. —the preceding comment is by L33ter - 17:08, 17 April 2006: Please sign your posts!

I'm not sure that's a PoV problem as much as it is a content dispute. I have used the {{dubious}} tag instead. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 03:54, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

The Dhulbahante live in Six regions: Sool, Togdheere (Buhoodle out the four districts of this region), Sanaag (Erigavo out of the three districts of Sanaag), Nugaal (Near the border of Sool which used be part of nugaal and Nugaal), Jubbada Hoose (In the district of Kismayo), Zone five of the Somali National state of Ethiopia (Bookh District and Buhoodle area). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.146.115.21 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your response, but can you cite a source for this? The whole point is that the current claims are disputed, so any information related to this should be verifiable. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:41, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Rather then adding information that you know from personal experience, please add information that we can verify. Thanks -- Gyrofrog (talk) 13:58, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
