I wish random people would stop deleting large sections of the article.--Ingoman 07:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In response to the recent edits: One. "An ancient town on the western coast of the Horn of Africa", Two. "Port of Hobyo", and Three. "Hobyo. City on the coast of Somalia in the region of Mudug". AcidSnow (talk) 01:23, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

None of these sources are credible. If you want demonstrate that Hobyo has a port, is ancient, or is a city, you need to provide proof. Random sources that mention these terms is extremely sloppy.

Port: Being entirely a beach, Hobyo cannot and is not a port. Ancient: Existing prior to Early Middle Ages. Proof of burden on the claim. Must back up with credible source. City: Obvious misnomer for a town with a few thousand individuals. Hobyo has never been a city. Burden of proof, again, on you. -Sageleaf

My sources are credible and are not random, I choose specific sources that clearly contradict your statements. You, however, brought nothing other than your own claim; whch once again is not accepted here per WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH. So please provided something more since your statements are preety much worthless. AcidSnow (talk) 02:15, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am Faarax200, and I am not using another account. I am just using my IP address. I did not vandalize the page. He is putting false information on the page and removing history that is sourced by a book. 174.21.46.198 (talk) 09:24, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The book named The Shaping of Somali Society used as a source here does not mention Hobyo at all. You can check google books to see it.^[1] Faarax200 (talk) 01:24, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
