Caution: recent edits by Biaboom

This account has a history of adding nonsense "facts" (names, birthdates, casualty figures etc). I would revert them entirely, but there have been other edits by other users, making it difficult. Someone should look at this user's edits they made a lot and not assume anything they wrote is accurate without verification. -- GreenC 17:41, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Addition to “published accounts”

I don’t really know how editing or adding stuff works so I’m not going to try on the actual page. However, I wanted to put it here so maybe someone could add it since it’s a fantastic example. Tom Satterly’s interview of his direct experience in the Battle of Mogadischu.
