Urartu article dispute

Hi Nareklm. User:Dacy69 has made a request for assistance in the editing of the Urartu article. According to Dacy69, the dispute centres on differing views on the ethnic composition of Urartu. You are not named in the dispute; however, I note that you have been involved in recent editing of the article, so I would be interested in getting your views.

Dacy69's request is for "neutral wording of section "Ethnic Composition" of page Urartu". From my reading of the situation, it appears that Dacy69 would like information about the Hurrit tribe to be included in the article. It also appears that he has provided evidence that some scholars believe the Hurrit tribe did live in Urartu. Is the evidence he provides correct? If the evidence is correct, and some scholars are saying that the Hurrit tribe did live in Urartu, then what is your opinion on that information appearing in the article?

Tigranes II

Hi, thanks for adding references to the Tigranes II article. Wouldn't it be preferable if you showed exactly which part of the text corresponds to which reference, especially if you cite the pages? When I add content, that's how I proceed. Either way, I don't mind. Oh, and Happy New Year! -- Davo88 07:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Paytakaran

Hi and happy New year. NO, I don't think there should be two separate articles, as it was the same regions, which changed hands from time to time. Regards, Grandmaster 08:14, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello

I have read some of the new articles you created. I have to tell you, they have made me somewhat frustrated as often the English is not good and there many problems with how the facts are organized. However, the subjects you have chosen to give attention to are good ones and I understand why you would want to see them included on Wikiepdia. I will try to clean up your articles as best I can but it will take time. You can see what I have done with Haghpat Monestary. If you look at Trdat the Architect you will see much material was removed -- that is because you didn't tell us how it related to the architect. My first priority will always to make an article grammatically correct and able to be understood. Inclusion of more facts comes second. So, for example, I want to expand Trdat the Architect but many of your new articles about Armenian topics require more immediate attention. I will help as much as I can. I hope this message makes good sense to you and I wish you a happy 2007. House of Scandal 09:47, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Military history of Armenia

Do you have any picture suggestions for Military history of Armenia? I've added plenty of text, but didn't find good images. Thanks. --Davo88 02:11, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Maps are ok, but yeah, I was looking for military pics. You think pictures from PC strategy games would be ok? --Davo88 02:35, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

IN your user page, you seem to have a better translated version of what Pope Gregory said about the Armenians. I had the quote in an Armenian history book, and had a hard time translating it to use it in the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia article. May I use yours?--Davo88 05:45, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

It's really good, thanks, I'll add it to the Military history of Armenia article... or did I accidentally delete it somewhere? -- Davo88 21:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I found a good source

Encyclopedia Americana, v. 2, USA 1980, pgs. 539, 541

Mentions Urartu (Armenia), and also about the writing of cuneiform, it says is ancient Armenian writing.

Narek I found some more info about Hovick Nersessian.

Hi, I'm sorry but where is did you know? Chaldean 00:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Dont I have to wait until August for this? Chaldean 01:02, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I am still working on it. I'm gonna need more time to finish it. Is it ok if we wait? Chaldean 01:22, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok thanks, go ahead. Chaldean 01:40, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Narek, this article was actually made three months ago. There hasn't been enough substantial expansion to qualify it for DYK again, though. Maybe if the article creator expanded significantly, it could get on DYK. Also, watch for the wording there. "Annhilated" is a definite sensitive word, and would probably not sit well with Iraqi editors. Nishkid 64 01:44, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

See [1]. This is a diff from the 19th, and from the looks of it, this article has not been expanded much at all in recent days. By the way, the same 5-day rule applies for expansion, as it does with creation. Nishkid 64 01:53, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Nareklm, I thank you for your support. I did a neutral report about the event; [[2]]. Maybe this will help us expand it. Chaldean 02:18, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Nareklm, again thanks for your help, I saw your nomination. Chaldean 05:17, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, I guess you could add a sentence that says, "according to other sources, such as (...), it is of Greek origin". Then you can cite the source. Khoi khoi 10:09, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

3RR

Hey, to quote from WP:3RR:

“

The 3RR is generally not enforced against editors reverting changes to user page space accorded them (this includes associated talk pages and subpages), on the principle that although you do not own it, your user space is "yours" (for project-related purposes).

Some people consider it bad form to remove comments (other than personal attacks) from your Talk page except to archive them. Other people with very busy talk pages (such as Jimbo Wales) remove every comment once it is read. Such comments stay in page history.

When in doubt, currently it is unfortunately unwise to revert. Wikilawyering over reversions in your user area have been interpreted as disruption on either side.

”

Khoi khoi 01:32, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, it's saying some people "consider it bad form". I think I know who you're talking about (lol), and if someone is flooding your talkpage, the best thing to do is report it at WP:AN/I. Users such as Essjay for example archive their talk page frequently, and I personally see nothing wrong with it. Interestingly enough, there's a current discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#ArbCom ruling on talk page removals? that you might want to check out. Cheers, Khoi khoi 01:47, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Helpme

Hi, you may like to take a look at the steps outlined at Wikipedia:Resolving disputes, or you may want to report the user to the Administrator's Noticeboard for Incidents, where a lot of users will be able to provide help and support. Good luck! Cheers, Tangotango (talk) 07:59, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Archiving

Well, I don't know if it's working yet, but see User:Werdnabot/Archiver/Template. That should tell you if you're doing everything right. If you can't figure it out there, then just copy, paste and tweak around the coding from someone else's talk page. Nishkid 64 14:15, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Looks like it. See User:Nareklm/RA. Or you could set it to archive every day, then wait a day. Xiner (talk, email) 02:07, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Not sure on the code is the code right im just curious :) thanks. Nareklm 02:08, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Removing sourced information from Kashmiri people

Please do not delete sourced information from articles, as you did with Kashmiri people. This is considered vandalism. Specifically, you removed the mention that the Ahmadiyya groups also support the "Lost Tribe" identification for Kashmiri people. The Behnam 00:51, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Have you tried reading the Ahmadiyya source? The reference specifically mentions Kashmiri people as from Lost Tribes of Israel. I have no clue why you remove the Ahmaddiya opinion. I can even provide a reference to actual Qu'ranic commentary by Maulana Mohammad Ali, though it is not necessary because of the source I provided. So yes, you are vandalizing the page. The Behnam 00:59, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Your accusations are ridiculous if someone reverts a edit it is not vandalism anyone can do that it happens alot i can revert it to fit my needs wikipedia is not for you its for everyone. Nareklm 01:01, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

To The Behnam: It seems awfully POV. Not all references are trusted, and even if you find POV statements that are sourced, they shouldn't be included into the article. Nishkid 64 01:02, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I just came upon the article once, and it blatantly stated the Rabbi's view as fact. I NPOV-ed it, and added the Ahmadiyya remark because they hold a similar view. I don't know anything about Kashmiri people aside from these fringe theories, but that reference was from the Ahmadiyya website. While I want someone to add real facts about modern Kashmiri people, no one has done that. I am not sure why Nareklm only removes the Islamic reference; it isn't too different from the Rabbi reference. In any case, it is sourced information, and the view of a significant Islamic movement, so it shouldn't be removed. If you felt the presentation was POV, just make it not POV, but don't remove the information. The Behnam 01:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for not removing the Ahmadiyya reference again. Also, thanks for titling the references. Hopefully, some people will come around to have the article cover more than just fringe views. Thanks again for the good work. The Behnam 01:33, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Simele massacre

Thank you so much! Wow, I didnt know it could have happened. Again, thank you very much. Chaldean 13:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Removing sourced information from an article

Please do not delete sourced information from an article, as you did by reverting Azerbaijan. This is considered vandalism. The Behnam 00:24, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Please do not tell me this your edits were POV and very inaccurate please refrain from your edits. Nareklm 00:32, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't know what POV you are accusing me of, but no POV is behind my edits. You also do not explain the supposed inaccuracy of my edit. I mentioned that Atropates is a Persian nobleman, and sourced this description. Your revert removed this sourced information, and thus you deserved a warning. If your objection was to my description of the article about the newspaper as an "analysis", this could simply be changed to an "article" about the political newspaper. Also, your revert removed various improvements I made to links, etc. Please refrain from such vandalism, thank you. The Behnam 00:40, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

If you knew your edits were so accurate why were people reverting it? next time please use the talk page. Nareklm 00:41, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Azerbaijani reverted an entire series of edits because of one mistake, which I amended in my revert of his revert. You then simply reverted, no reason given. I will bring them up on the talk page. Apparently you aren't planning to explain what was so inaccurate about the last version I made, but you still removed sourced information. Now you are defending vandalism! That's really something. The Behnam 00:46, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

That is not vandalism first of all, and you were next time please do it. Nareklm 01:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I have now brought up Atropates on the article talk page, so if you have the time, could you go and explain what was wrong with the Persian edit? The Behnam 16:34, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Zakarid Armenia

I didn't revert the recent edits by anon because I don't know anything about its history. But you might want to check them out. Baristarim 14:44, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

The edits are correct. The Zakarids had a very high title in the Georgian court (Mkhardzeli) which meant long handed. The Zakarid Armenian principality was under the protection of the Kingdom of Georgia. -- Ευπάτωρ ^Talk!! 14:52, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Do me a favor , dont talk to Artur

I was right the first time. I knew this guy was wrong. The guy is speaking of the 500 BC claims of Armenian. What kind of haya ged is this guy? You kidding me? This guy is agreeing basically with Turks claims of Armenian history from 500 BC. Ararat arev 14:14, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah cause he proved you wrong? Pathetic. Nareklm 20:10, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

User:Ararat arev

He has been reverting back and forth, but I will only warn him for 3RR now. It seems like a content dispute, which means you could potentially be blocked for 3RR violations as well. I have left him a 3RR warning on his user talk page. Nishkid 64 23:34, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

No, I mean if you revert his edit again (for a 3rd time). If this happens, then I will have to block both of you for 3RR, and I don't think you would want this. Continue discussing with the user, please. Nishkid 64 23:41, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Technically, no. I warned you not to do 3RR, so if you do it, then I will have to block you. Try getting others involved in the discussion on the article talk page. People may revert in support of your claim, and then you won't need to violate 3RR. Nishkid 64 23:58, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm saying you can't revert 3 times because I have already warned you not to. So, basically one more revert to an article will result in a 24-hour block. Nishkid 64 00:08, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Usually, someone will see a person with 3 reverts, and then warn them. The 4th revert would be a 24-hour 3RR block. However, I have already informed you about this, so going for the 3rd revert is blockable here. Nishkid 64 00:19, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

It's a case where I can go ignore all rules, because I have already warned you for a possible 3R(R). If you hadn't told me, and I had seen a three reverts, I would have warned you and blocked you if you had done a 4th revert. Nishkid 64 00:28, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Maybe I missed it, but where exactly was he formally warned for 3RR violations? Nishkid 64 00:45, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmm...well I guess he was warned about 3RR before. It was four days ago, though, so I will assume good faith and hope that he won't do it again. Nishkid 64 00:51, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

AA

Perhaps, but I think 24 hours is good for a first-time 3RR violation. If he persists then it will be lengthened over time (but hopefully this won't have to happen). Khoi khoi 22:49, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, then I'll let him off easy this time. It's better than no block... Khoi khoi 22:52, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

If they really are copyright violations, why don't you report them at WP:AN/I? Khoi khoi 22:55, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Battle of Avarayr

Hi! If I am not mistaken, Yazdegerd stopped the persecutions when he lost the battle, but the following Shahs continued to persecute Christians. That is why Vahan instigated sporadic rebellions to force the Sassanids to sign the Nvarsak Treaty. This seems to be much more decisive, but there are a few decades that separate it from the battle itself so what happened in between deserves a mention. Regarding Mitanni and those theories... Our history is a long one and it is normal that people would have different interpretations especially for the more ancient years. We do know, however, that Mitanni flourished in Southern Armenia. Right? -- Davo88 22:12, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I've read about this earthquake before in MS Encarta which uses the "United States Geological Survey (USGS), National Earthquake Information Center" as source. The Armenian king back then was Hetoum I. However, in my Armenian history book, there is no information about this earthquake or how it influenced the country. My same source (Encarta) also talks of a few other earthquakes in or near Historic Armenia: an earthquake in August 9, 1138 in Aleppo (230,000 dead), another one in Shamakhi in November 1667 (80,000 lives), and lastly in November 18, 1727, Tabrīz (77,000 dead). It is sad that the Armenian Highland is such a seismically active region... -- Davo88 23:08, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Another thing that you might find interesting... During the reign of Hetoum II, the Mamelukes had taken Hromgla and had kidnapped the Catholicos and a relic of St. Gregory the Illuminator (his right hand). However, cholera and famine started in Egypt and the sultan considered this a punishment imposed to his nation by God for stealing the religious riches. Thus, he let the Catholicos, the relics, and and other riches go back home. -- Davo88 23:17, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Nareklm, for all of your tireless contributions to Armenian articles on Wikipedia, I would like to award you this. Best, Clevelander 01:32, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't think so. Do you have independent references confirming this? -- Clevelander 03:04, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Looks good. Start the article under the name "Kirovabad massacre". -- Clevelander 03:27, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

BTW, did this occur before or during the Karabakh war? -- Clevelander 03:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

If it was in the 1980s, I assume that it was before the war. When exactly did it take place again? 1988? -- Clevelander 03:40, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I think we should use some non-Armenian sources for the the article. It'll lend more credibility to it. -- Clevelander 03:55, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Could you ask User:Khoikhoi to remove the "Baku massacres" article? It'd be too much work to further investigate this (Dacy69's right, Azerbaijan was occupied in April 1920 and these incidents did not occur until May, so I'm not exactly sure what we should do). It'll cause too many issues in the long-run, just remove it. It'll be easier on all of us. -- Clevelander 14:35, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! -- Clevelander 22:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

BTW, could you ask User:Khoikhoi to delete the "Kirovabad Pogrom" article? I'm afraid now that we might be opening a can of worms as Azeri editors might retaliate and create an article on the expulsion of Azeris from Armenia. -- Clevelander 03:23, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Great! I promise that I won't ask you to delete anymore articles in the future. :) -- Clevelander 03:32, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Oltu

...that is obviously a mistake on my part. -- Clevelander 02:42, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Is it the real reason?

Can you give me another reason, because Battle of Gamelsdorf is much shorter article and no google references. However, I have not seen anyone asking this article for deletion. Is it related you being an Armenian? I would like to support your view, be open minded but it does not look like a good policy, especially coming from a good wikipedian like you.

FYI

User space harassment Placing numerous false or questionable 'warnings' on a user's talk page, restoring such comments after a user has removed them, placing 'suspected sockpuppet' and similar tags on the user page of active contributors, and otherwise trying to display material the user may find annoying or embarrassing in their user space is a common form of harassment. A user page is for the person to provide some general information about themself and a user talk page is to facilitate communication. Neither is intended as a 'wall of shame' and should not be used to display supposed problems with the user unless the account has been blocked as a result of those issues. Any sort of content which truly needs to be displayed, or removed, should be immediately brought to the attention of admins rather than edit warring to enforce your views on the content of someone else's user space. --Dacy69 05:15, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Could you just show me the link to DYK? There are many, yes: That he strengthened Armenia so it reached its political and territorial zenith... That he assumed the Parthian title of Shahanshah...

Amazon disambig page.

This is kind of old now, but, er, how to put this. What were you trying to do by moving the Amazon page to Amazon (people)? I mean, if you didn't realize that the Amazons article existed and didn't notice the link on top of the page (blind spots happen), then you could have created the Amazon (people) article, then edited in a link to it on the disambig page at Amazon. Even after you did move it, when you recreated a new disambiguation page, you left off all the summaries and a lot of the entries from the old page. Now the history of the disambig page is off in the "wrong" article and difficult to see. Hardly a major deal, but still.

This isn't to flame you as I see you've made a fair amount of good contributions, but I do want to bring this to your attention. SnowFire 21:19, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Scythians

You accuse me of synthesising published material. Where do I combine the findings of different authors or sources to a new stance? Please be careful to what you state and before you revert again without Talk. Scythians have been abundantly asserted to be of mixed composition. So what information a generalized statement like "Scythians spoke an Iranian language" really gives us? Almost nothing. Anybody opposing nuances should produce sourced evidence on cultural AND archeological AND linguistical arguments. Tertiary sources are not sufficient to uphold a generalised view, that could easily misguide readers into thinking Scythians represented Aryan - or even PIE - purity of race, culture and language. Essentially Scythians introduced a new way of living into the steppes that can't be extrapolated to Indo-European proportions. My contribution therefore is not POV but meant to counterbalance a misleading lack of information. Please make yourself clear, in the meanwhile I will restore the better sourced version.

Question

You know all those battles you made? how come there's no information just wondering, also did you break it down? and call them battles, some info would help thanks. Nareklm 13:33, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Lets look the the basic common ground. There is no question regarding if these armed conflicts exist. You are having problem with a person who says s/he is an Armenian with an extensive knowledge on them. :-) There is no question that they existed, so do not try to bring validity questions by claiming I created the article. Where does your disagreements originate from? It is not from the Ottoman Empire side, for sure. Your arguments are Armenian issues which can render some of the heroes as a reckless belligerent person. Could that be the reason this period is silenced as you are saying "there's no information"? The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk clearly defines where the boarders are in March 3, 1918. I look at the ongoing discussions and changes made at the page. I want to point out something. You know, establishment of a state is before the people of the state declare it "internationally". The military power of the Democratic Republic of Armenia did not established in a single day, as some want to claim, The miracle day is 28 May, 1918. If you think the details of Ottoman Empire and Armenian genocide is a big issue? The details of this war is bigger, as all these conflicts are part of "the Armenians: Past and Present in the Making of National Identity". Remember, these patriots wanted to keep the land and their main goal was to declare the republic. They declared the republic but... In 1918 there was famine and sickness in these lands, and these are heroic victories (not on the Ottoman side) are very controversial. You have to recognize that the people who declared the Armenia is the same people that build the Armenian resistance between 1915-1918. I guess, we can eliminate the argument that they are aliens coming from alpha-century, and they have no responsibility of shaping the grand picture. That is the reason details are really important for this group, so that they can have a perfect nationhood. Today, I can not add a basic fact to Armenian Genocide as anything beyond the simplistic view is rejected by Armenians, what makes you think that I can be part of basically an Armenian NATIONAL issue. It is time for Armenians looking from a bigger window. The Armenians that died during this period deserve a better analysis. I hope you will continue digging the events, which will be very educational to all parties. I would like to see some citations, but all sides brought their arguments without citations. PS: from Ottoman Empire perspective, the location of military forces are defined by Armistice of Mudros. ThanksOttomanReference 16:20, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Your going a little far there, heh, well i don't know if you had any education on this, i wasn't accusing you of anything i was just wondering, by the way by "famine and sickness" you were referring to the Armenian Genocide right? but don't you think all the deportations caused this? thats my analysis. Even if the ottomans made Armenians walk and leave there homes out of "war zones" they still were responsibly, im not a person who shoves the genocide through someones throat and accuses them, this was obviously a small case that turned big. Maybe it wasn't the Turks intention for the Armenians to die, look at the pictures, if the Turks were barbaric why would they make the Armenians walk? why didn't they kill them already? and cut there heads off or something, eh what do i care let the historians debate this and initialize it. Nareklm 13:33, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I do not know, what to say to you. I'm not genocide denier. The problems you are facing (if you follow the lead) is a little bit complex. Not everything in Armenian history can be explained by Ottomans, or genocide. As I said, it is hard to move within Armenian national issues, so many deep wells. Also, there is always that ottoman factor that pops up, like pop-ups of MTV. I guess Ottoman Empire was like USA of today; remember the claims of Indian tsunami caused by a military submarine. :-) AND Armenians need to remember that people walked from both sides. People walked in the war zones, even today (see:First Battle of Fallujah). I was not thinking about walking Armenians. I believe the issues that Yerevan had faced was more than just walking Armenians. What I'm saying is simple. Turks needs to do some digging, but Armenians do not? Just look at the battles that happened during the Europe side of WWI. Some of those battles includes less military force and smaller civilian effects. There is much more to this period beyond the arguments of (the battle) existence or who won the battle. AND only Armenians can walk that path as anything that may come from ottoman side would be a "denial of genocide". It sounds like a cover-up plot for preventing deeper analysis. Good luck & have a nice day OttomanReference 17:29, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Please be cool

I've blocked you and Dacy69 for 24 hours because you need to cool down and rethink your attitude. This block is not a punishment, it's an attempt to get your attention. Allow me to offer some unsolicited advice. This is not a template pasted to your talk page, so I'd appreciate if you thought about what I have to say. Your petty bickering with Dacy69 is not productive, and your are making way to many reverts. This is a problem because hostile attitudes and battleground mentalities hinder proper collaborative editing and progress. In particular, when you get into a dispute with another editor, even one you think is pushing a POV abhorrent to you, take your time in writing comments, and don't let yourself get worked up. Sometimes you will even have to deal with unreasonable people; we all have. We need to do this tactfully. Consider that perhaps the other editor perceives you in the same way. Rather than doing things like reporting them to administrators for blocks, or trying to prove their misconduct; imagine how you would feel if someone "reported" you for alleged misbehavior: you wouldn't like it. It would escalate the conflict. Instead, remain cordial and don't engage in petty behavior outside of dispute resolution (discussion/mediation). If simple discussion isn't working, or you notice that it's getting heated quickly, disengage from the conflict and seek outside opinions and mediation, and be willing to make a serious attempt at compromise. I'm concerned that your recent behavior - excessive reverts and sniping - are in the opposite of this collaborative, WP:AGF community spirit. Hopefully you'll make use of this short time off to familiarize yourself with the various dispute resolution precesses, and hopefully to draw up a mediation request to resolve the conflict amicably.

Warring with AdilBaguirov

I am still concerned that you are carrying on sterile edit warring with AdilBaguirov. You've reverted him personally three times today [14], [15], [16], twice using automated edit summaries, which are disrespectful and inappropriate for non-vandalism (Help:Revert#Rollback). It is still unconstructive if you revert war across many articles, rather than making many reverts in one article. Please seek mediation, or some other WP:DR. Dmcdevit·t 21:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm not talking about Adil's reverts, I'm talking about yours. If I were an editor that disagreed with you, and you reverted my edit without any communication beforehand at the same time that you went to the talk page, I would feel insulted, and less likely to come to an agreement. It won't hurt anyone to let the text you disagree with stay up for a day or two while you talk it out; in fact, you will be more likely to get what you want that way. Dmcdevit·t 21:55, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

How can you posibly claim that you will assume good faith while at the same time attacking the character of the person you disagree with?

The map does not show the whole of Karabakh (only the mountainous part). Is there any chance you can find a better one? Khoi khoi 07:24, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Leonte Tismăneanu

Hi Artaxiad: you reverted the above article, are you familiar with the issue or just thought you might step in? Can you explain why? thanks. (Icar 08:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC))

Leonte Tismăneanu sorry, here is the page you reverted. I had confused ă for a similar character. (Icar 09:06, 21 February 2007 (UTC))

Chaldean

User:Chaldean keeps reverting to the same page he has written because he only wants his biased opinion. I've had wanted to contribute to the page in which I did but & including at least 3 sources but User:Chaldean keeps on deleting my contributions & reverted three times to his biased material that is written by him. He has been vandalizing my talk page & telling me that I have been doing wrong where in all reality he has been trying moderate the wiki with his biased beliefs & using intimidation/assault/negativity to anyone who helps. Please help because he has stirred away a lot of users from that subject & making them believe in whats not true. Thank You! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by KALMANI (talk • contribs) 17:04, 21 February 2007 (UTC).

Artin Penik

I reverted your closure of the AFD, since there's still one editor with an outstanding "Delete" opinion. If you can get him to withdraw, we can probably close, but as long as he's sticking to his guns it needs to remain open until an outside party decides to close it.

Also, I removed the speedy tag, because if nothing else the record of the AFD discussion should be added to the article's talk page. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 20:55, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I have opened an arbitration case regarding the current editing dispute you've been involved in. Please make a statement at Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#Armenia-Azerbaijan concerning the conflict with the other parties listed. Thanks. Dmcdevit·t 10:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Just wanted to point out that DYK's have to be > 1500 chars. You might wish to expand Ara Sarafyan a bit to make sure it makes it. --Free smyrnan 12:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Those "sources" on the arbitration page provided by atabek are useless. None of them even mention Monte. Vartanm 03:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Image patrolling

Hi, thanks for helping with patroling image copyrights. However, I think you needn't tag those images from www.euro-caspian.com, the website has plausibly confirmed that its owner is identical with the image uploader, so those should be okay. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:03, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Right, I see your point, but most of the images really don't look implausible - they are not particularly professional or anything like that, so I find it entirely believable that some guy who owns that website just took them himself. Or have you found any of them on other third-party websites that make a stronger, more plausible claim to be the creators? Have you asked the uploader to comment? As long as we have no actual evidence that something is fishy, I guess we can afford to take their word for it - if it turns out to be a copyvio after all, it's their problem, not ours. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:11, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Wow, seems you have a point. That etravels.cz page isn't making an explicit claim to authorship either, but those are embedded into series of photographs clearly taken by the same person, with more images than on the euro-caspian site, and the same person also having traveled through other countris; that would make them the more likely owners. Sigh. Another heap of bad images to clean up. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:21, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I think before I take action actually deleting these, I'll try to contact the uploader and give them a chance for clarification. Guess that'd be fair. Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:28, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

What is your problem with the all the images uploaded by Azerbaijani users? I think you should also thoroughly check the images uploaded by Armenian users, I don't think that most of them have no copyright problems. Images uploaded by Baku87 are used by him with permission. And do not remove the image Khan Nakhichevanski. It is PD, as it was taken in 1906 is more than 100 years old. Grandmaster 16:02, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add further evidence

The request for Arbitration is meant to present the cases to be heard, one Arbitrator(the administrator who submitted the case and who resigned) left and I don't think he was replaced, so the case will be heard. No need to add more evidence. I also highly advice you to read how the arbitration works and other past cases anf familiarise with how evidences are presented. There is no point to document on every Azeri users, neither retaliating against those who submit evidences against you. You should only provide evidences against those who you think Administrators shal take action against. You will anyway have the chance to defend yourself like every other people concerned. Fad (ix) 17:34, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Arbitration does not take vengence and its decisions are not punishing but protect the system(Wikipedia). Take this as an experience, and if you are "sentenced" for anything you should not be pissed, no one beside Adil have done anything to get very heavy "sentences" beside maybe me, for my personal attacks against some members. Your use of sock was not a good thing, you should have never done that, this was basically why I ignored your last email, I didn't like what you did. The mistake was done, we can't change the past, but we can have an impact on the future. Right now work on your evidences, accumulate as much as you can, work it on a subsection of your userpage. Don't accumulate them as retaliation of evidences brought by others, you will have the chance to defend yourself later. Fad (ix) 19:29, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

There is no Them vs us, you are mislead by Adil polarisation of the members. It is true that you have been warned, don't worry you haven't done anything major, the only person who did is Adil and his meatpuppets. Fad (ix) 19:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

There is just more than simple IP uses, check Urartu article history, Tabib was involved in the past, the probability that either Dacy or Atabek is him is very high. BTW, don't get involved on image copyright stuff, just contribute in Armenian related articles, don't "invade" Azeri one, this will be viewed as retaliation to Adil invasion of Armenian articles. If you know Russian, you can be of great help to find out under which account Tabib has contributed on Russian wikipedia, when he stoped contributing, when Dacy appeared in the picture there, and if there was an Atabek etc. The IP's you find, check if they have contributed there and also the IP's from ru to here. While their possible misbehavior on Russian Wikipedia can not be used as evidence, this might help for the cronology of the event and better understanding for me to prepare my evidence and find where else to check. There is definitive organization and I intend to find it out. Fad (ix) 23:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Page at User:Nareklm/RA messing up Special:BrokenRedirects

Could you please move or archive the stuff at User:Nareklm/RA below the redirect? It is messing up the page at Special:BrokenRedirects, which I am using to find redirects to nowhere for speedy deletion. Thanks. Jesse Viviano 04:11, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I found out that this was an archive. I will try to edit this to use a soft redirect to fix this. Jesse Viviano 04:13, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Notice of Arbitration Committee injunction

The Arbitration Committee has adopted a temporary injunction in the case of Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan, in which you have been named as a party. The injunction provides: Until the conclusion of this case, all parties are restricted to one content revert per article per day, and each content revert must be accompanied by a justification on the relevant talk page. Violators may be blocked for up to 24 hours. The case remains open for the submission of evidence or proposals. This notice is given by a Clerk on behalf of the Arbitration Committee. Newyorkbrad 00:16, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

thanks :-)

I see that you have created two pages for my IP's account - which you know perfectly belongs to me. You even mentioned that on one user talkpage. So, I don't know why you have created that pages. It was just technical errors and 1-2 times I forgot to do that. FYI - I login from my home and office comps but always sign in under my name. But anyway - thank you for nice welcoming note :-) --Dacy69 04:41, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Your arbitration evidence

I'm writing again as a Clerk for the Arbitration Committee. You have placed responses or rebuttal in another user's section on the evidence page. As the instructions indicate, each user should place evidence in his or her section only, and subject to a length limit of approximately 1000 words. Since as far as I know this is your first experience with arbitration, rather than simply going ahead and removing the threaded discussion I am giving you 24 hours to remove what you have put in other people's sections and incorporate it, if you see fit, in your own section within the overall limit. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation. Newyorkbrad 18:13, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Tagging images for speedy deletion

For future reference, the {{speedy-image-c}} template is to go on the article that includes the image in question, not on the image itself. The image should be appropriately tagged with a {{ifd}} or a speedy deletion template. --Iamunknown 15:48, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Admin

Check out some of the new admins. Basically, they participate in many facets of Wikipedia, like article editing, AIV, RFPP, XfD, etc. My only concern about you going up for adminship is the whole frequent edit war situation. The same thing happened to Khoikhoi when he went up for adminship, and he had almost 40,000 edits when he finally got it. Knowing your work, I know it's hard to get into disputes, and that's perfectly fine. I don't know about your civility, but be civil to users you are in a discussion with, and I think that would really help your cause. I was considering nominating you, but I'd prefer to wait until everything is checked out. And adminship is harder than it seems. You're frequently asked to deal with issues, and help mediate disputes between multiple users. It's sticky business. Nishkid 64 23:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, I wasn't saying you need to get a billion edits, but just keep up what you're doing and you should be fine. Nishkid 64 23:54, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:ANI

I'm not doing anything about it, but generally it's a better idea not to remove debates from WP:ANI in the case of users who are inexperienced in the ways of the page - they can sometimes get the "wrong end of the stick" and re-add the discussion, wondering where it's gone. Cheers. Yuser31415 20:03, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Askeran

I don't know why you're asking me this question. Yes, Askeran clashes and first two Azeris shot was the beginning of the contemporary NK conflict, which pursued with 26 Armenians killed in Sumgayit, 200,000 Azeris deported from Armenia, 250,000 Armenians deported from Azerbaijan, some 500 Azeris brutally massacred with mutilations in Khojaly, and 600-700,000 Azeris deported from Karabakh and other surrounding regions of Azerbaijan, final count about 30,000 total killed on both sides. The facts are there, many, including myself, witnessed some of those. I don't see why that should raise any questions. Atabek 01:30, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Calm down?! I am calm, dude, thanks for asking :) Make your edits, and if I have something to say, I will in terms of my edits or discussions on the talk page. Atabek 01:37, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Good, I like you continuing to think so. That's exactly why I edit poet Huseyn Javid page and make a "typo" adding a little "ov", cause I know there is someone out there following my edits :). Atabek 01:52, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Were you stocking on people, then? That's not quite decent, you know. But as I said, I like you continuing to think so. Atabek 02:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, there must be only one Azeri in Irvine, CA, and with PhD sure why not. I take it :) Atabek 02:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

No, but if you insist, I will take the lovely PhD part :) The poet lived in early 20th century and died in 1941. Atabek 02:18, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
