Casualty count discrepancy[edit]

The infobox says 138 Allied casualties, while the body of the article says 172, 138 being South African. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:21, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Smuts[edit]

Smuts took command of the British Forces in East Africa on 12 February. The planning and execution of the Battle of Salaita on 12 February were under General Tighe's command. See Smut's first despatch to the War Office, dated 30 April 1916.^[1] FunkyCanute (talk) 20:15, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Salaita Hill in Kenya[edit]

Salaita Hill, also called Oldorobo, is in Kenya and not in Tanzania. So the map in the article is wrong. --Rakell (talk) 06:59, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
