Watch this

Vartan, please keep an eye on this article and make sure that the reference to the Genocide is not removed. -- Aivazovsky 20:05, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Award

Thank you for the award. I hope I can find the time to do the missing years as well some day. Knurftendans 15:02, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

whatsup?

Long time no talk, happy to see you alive. I'm still waiting the pictures. Anatolmethanol 20:13, 27 July 2007 (UTC) :)

Re:

Hey what's up? Well of course there's a reason that comes from my non-wiki life. Nothing is going well, and my neighbours are actually bringing me to court and the situation might worsen and send me to ruin... -- Davo88 19:04, 31 July 2007 (UTC) Maybe that apricot juice would do me good :) -- Davo88 19:29, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Sper

I have no idea if Sper (Anatolia) or Sper (Armenia) is the right name, but please do not execute copy/paste moves. Please discuss the issue with Makalp at Talk:Sper (Anatolia) or take it to WP:RM if a move needs to be made. Thank you. --B 23:31, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Based on your statement, I've gone ahead and moved it ... but if for whatever reason it needs to be moved again, please don't copy/paste the text - that causes serious problems. That is what I was trying to fix - I have no interest in where the article is located, just that the history is associated with the article. If you are trying to move over top of a page that exists, you have to get an admin to do it (the target needs to be deleted before something can be moved over top of it), but it is important that it not be a copy/paste move. --B 01:17, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Alish Lambaranski

I have removed the speedy delete tag from that article. It asserts that he was the mayor of Baku, which is an assertion of notability. I'm not saying that he's notable, but speedy requires not even an assertion of notability. You may try to nominate the article at WP:AFD if you disagree. Carlossuarez46 04:14, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

No problem!

Don't worry about it :) - Fedayee 07:36, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah one more time and i'm protecting it. I gave him a nice welcome to Wikipedia, what more does he want? :P - Fedayee 03:58, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

It has to do with our WPAM templates in our userpage. Someone from the Spanish wiki must've done something to interwiki it but I haven't figured out what's up. Even the WikiProject Armenia page has a problem with the interwikis. - Fedayee 07:05, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Re

I understand, I figured you were probably stressed or what not. I didn't see their attacks myself, but I hope everyone can learn to calm down, especially with the second arbitration ongoing. Thank you very much for your note. :) --Golbez 21:10, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Back

Thanks, I just came back from a nice vacation. How's everything been? I see articles have been a mess without me :>). I still got a little jet lag, will work some more tomorrow.Hetoum I 02:00, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Armenian Genocide

Very well. Please bear in mind that protection will be reinstated if the edit warring resumes. I hope all those involved can come to an agreement. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for welcoming me back, hows everything. ROOB323 07:00, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Kings of Cilicia

Hello. Concerning a debate between me and User:Hetoum I recently (see it here), I would like your opinion concerning the renaming of articles on the Armenian kings of Cilicia from their long accepted titles to ones which Hetoum feels are more appropriate based on the Armenian language and on the best sources. I disagree at least with the use of Gosdantin and Levon over the English names Constantine and Leo. I also believe that the consistent enumeration which did not distinguish princes and kings was most useful. Thoughts? Srnec 05:31, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Thankyou. What is your reasoning for supporting the change in enumeration? And what is the reason for supporting Armenian versions of Greek/Latin names? I do not oppose Hetoum, Toros, Smpad, etc. as long as alternative verions appear in the article near the top, but Constantine and Leo are universally accepted English forms for the names of monarchs from far and wide whose native spellings are different. Wikipedian conventions demand Anglicisation where such are accepted scholarly practice, as for at least Constantine and Leo they are. Srnec 20:10, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

RE:Please stop

My editions are not called "Vandalism", they are called "Reverting Vandalism". You can't understand the difference, since you are a Vandal... --SONSAVASCI 02:59, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

AdilBaguirov

AdilBaguirovs website is also in the external links section of Azerbaijan. See here: [1] (its under Virtual Azerbaijan Republic). As AdilBaguirov is a banned user, his website should not be used as a source or as a link anywhere on Wikipedia.Hajji Piruz 16:46, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

It was in number of other pages I removed them all. VartanM 19:22, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

No, linking to the site is an editorial decision. That a Wikipedia editor is banned for behavioral reasons has nothing to do with whether we should link to their site as an editorial decision (I'm taking issue with the reasoning, not necessarily the decision itself to remove the link).--Chaser - T 23:19, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

"Teams" and wikipedia

VartanM, regarding this thread related to these comments, please note that there are no "teams" on Wikipedia. I realize that there are different groups surrounding these articles who share two different points of view, but off-site descriptions of a "team" don't effect the fact that here we edit as independent editors. That one editor has been banned indefinitely from the site does not mean that the ban tarnishes another editor. Atabek's ban is for four days, and then he is welcome to return to editing any and all articles on the site in the same civil and collegial manner expected of all of us.--Chaser - T 18:40, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
