Hi, thanks for adding the article on the Genocide Memorial in Yerevan. You might want to add your new articles about Armenia to the New article announcements in Portal:Armenia, too. Serouj 21:47, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Aha

Yeah, that's too bad. Those evil Turks, tchk tchk... Look, Armenia has only one capital, and that is Yerevan. Countries before that were not called Armenia. I cannot go to other city articles and label them "capitals of Turkey" simply because it was the capital of a 14th century Turkic kingdom. That template has no chance of staying there, just fyi. It will be removed in due time and course. I know tens of editors who would remove that without thinking twice. Let's hope that they don't get involved. Those cities are mentioned in their respective articles for what they are, and that's enough.Baristarim 05:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Really? There are no Armenians left? How did that happen? You see, I am just a barbaric Turk on horseback, I don't know even know how to read and write! Would you care to share your extensive knowledge with me? Whatever dude.. Watch your edit summaries and do not make this personal. You said that Turks didn't have any capitals outside of their borders, and this is utterly false. "Turks didn't have capitals outside of their country"!! Aha, righhhht... Gees, I wonder where Göktürks lived? Yeah, you can have your template for the next 24h if it makes you feel any better, it is still in Turkey :)Baristarim 09:36, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, do you want to know what else is in Turkey? Well, I won't list them though. It could be pretty long :) And guess what, they will always and always be Turkish.. Yeah, too bad, eh? Do not ever make sniping comments to compare me or imply that I am some sort of Nazi again, is that clear? Baristarim 09:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

What the hell is the point of this edit summary ?? Are you trying to imply something with all those rhetorical questions? Do you really want an answer to such blatantly racist remarks? Is there a problem here? I was only arguing on content, where did these edit summaries come from? Baristarim 09:57, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Incivility

This is considered inappropriate. Please try to avoid making remarks that focus on other editors instead of content. Thanks, Khoikhoi 23:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

I know you were careful to not mention specific people, which makes it not a personal attack, but it was still incivil. Also saying what the hell is your damn problem? isn't a good idea either. All I want is for you to calm down. I get frustrated sometimes too, but it's important to not let your emotions get the best of you, and if they do, make an effort to not say things that may be insulting to other editors. If someone says something that offends you, report it to someone else instead doing the same thing. Khoikhoi 07:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

Is there really a reason to add the armenian genocide anniversary to EVERY year? I can't say there is. I'm assumign good faith in those edits, but there's really no reason to do that. The Armenian Genocide mentioned in its proper year suffices. --Wizardman 04:09, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• To expand on the above comment, anniversaries typically should not be added to year articles, unless something significant happened in connection with that anniversary (huge ceremonies in connection with the 100th anniversary of something, for example). —tregoweth (talk) 04:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Question?

Armenakan Party and Ramgavar Party aren't they same? OttomanReference 22:50, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello there, to answer your question the Armenakans, reformed Hnchaks, and Sahmanadir Ramgavars joined together in 1921 to form the Ramgavar Party. The majority of the membership of the Armenakan Party was absorbed into the Ramgavar Party. ROOB323 23:14, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Thnks for clarification, I guess question should be on the nature of "absorption." Is it correct to keep two different articles? Is there a need to move the content of Armenakan Party as a history to Ramgavar Party? OttomanReference 23:25, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Iğdır Province

Be careful of the three-revert rule. Thanks, Khoikhoi 03:53, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I agree with you, but it's better to discuss changes (or let other users handle it). Consider providing an explanation for your reverts on the talk page. Khoikhoi 04:04, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem. :-) Khoikhoi 04:07, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Can you please add back the Urartu4.jpg in Military_history_of_Armenia

Urartu image in Military_history_of_Armenia. Please put the image back. Thanks. 216.175.96.172 23:00, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Templates

Try using {{WPAM}} instead of {{WikiProject Armenia}} - it is the same template, but has a shorter code. Just an advice :) Baristarim 10:26, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Armenakan and Ramgavar

Hey ROOB, I think it would be a good idea to merge Ramgavar and Armenakan articles as they are both one and the same (although Ramgavar has changed drastically from its Armenakan days). - Fedayee 22:57, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

If Ramgavar is the current name, we should probably merge all the content into that article. Also it's older than the other one. See Help:Redirect on how to merge the articles. Basically, just replace the Armenakan page with #REDIRECT ] Khoikhoi 09:47, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Re:

Its Ararat arev the guy is blocked, and he wants the image to be put there, by the way im not removing our history i just don't want false theories to be created, all his content comes from Armenianhighland.com, its a good website but too much nationalist revision of our history merci. Nareklm 01:22, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

By the way lets use this coat of arms looks better no? Nareklm 03:41, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, i emailed them, and got it so no problemo :) Nareklm 03:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Robert, Narek told Khoi to revert the Urartu image. Its not a big deal that much(Davo88 requested it be added there and I thought it was good too, pleae put it back?), but here is the links that he thinks im only looking at armenianhighland.com

http://www.tacentral.com/history.asp

http://www.angelfire.com/hi/Azgaser/AR.html from Martiros Kavoukjian's Armenia, Sumer, Subartu, 1982

http://arevordi.blogspot.com 12,000 year history of Armenia

http://www.armenianhighland.com 12,000 year history of Armenia

http://www.saintsarkis.org/Language.htm roots of Armenian language

Davo88 first requested the image to be put there. So I know Im requesting you and Im blocked now, but since Davo88 requested to be put there it was his idea. So what do you think? You putting it there is basically from Davo88's suggestion and idea right? 216.175.94.233 05:46, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Reply to the above comment I.P. address 216.175.94.233. I'll stay out of this edit war. I don't want any edit wars with Narek, I'll just stay neutral and if Davo88 wants the image back in then he could add the image back in by himself. ROOB323 07:39, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey i added some new pictures, i think these two are much nicer than the rest, Armenian Air Force on the top and the gallery if i find more ill add them, you can change it around though. Nareklm 02:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I tried searching nothing came up i assume its private since its barely discussed by the Russians or Armenians except for when they get new material. Nareklm 04:50, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

CSULA

Done. As for your question, only admins can protect and unprotect pages. You can, however, request that another admin do it for you at WP:RPP. Khoikhoi 07:58, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Arabkir

If you read the 1911 Britannica article, you will notice that it says, EskiShehr, i.e. " the old town," lies about a mile from the ruins of the ancient Phrygian Dorylaeum. According to the Dorylaeum page on Misplaced Pages, Dorylaeum was an ancient city in Anatolia. It is now in ruins near the city of Eskişehir, Turkey. Therefore, they are the same city. Khoikhoi 08:28, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Thanks. Khoikhoi 08:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Lachin

Done. If you ever need help doing it yourself, just check out Help:Redirect. Khoikhoi 11:44, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey for the Kashatagh can you add this image its in the Kashatagh region not sure which one it means though, Let the caption be "An Armenian family in the Kashatagh region." and the image, Image:Kashtagarmenia.jpg please and thanks. Nareklm 12:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Yerevan

He doesn't have to be born there by the way, since it says born or resided in Yerevan, the text. Nareklm 22:03, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Reporter working on a Misplaced Pages story

I'm a reporter working on on a story about ideologically charged Misplaced Pages pages. I saw that you have been active in trying on the Armenian Genocide page, and I’m really interested in talking to you. Would you be interested in talking to me? You can email me here: matt.phillips@wsj.com

Thanks and take care,

Matt

Tovmas Nazarbekian

Hello OttomanReference, I have a question. I saw your edit in Tovmas Nazarbekian article, you added "Armenian victory over Khalil Pasha at Diliman." I was just wondering by saying Diliman do you mean the city of Dilijan? or is it a completly different city than Dilijan? ROOB323 20:50, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Good Question! My initial response "ima" in Turkish might also be translated to "ija". However I believe Khalil Pasha was at Mesopotamian Campaign. Dilijan is not south of van, and I was thinking he might have faced with Tovmas Nazarbekian while Nazarbekian was emptying the Van region, and ottomans were retreating from Iraq. I'm going to keep this issue in mind. Thanks.--OttomanReference 21:07, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

ArmenianNY

Just because he's blocked doesn't mean you can drop attacks on him on his page. Stop it. --Golbez 21:11, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I have no clue how to read that, and I made that clear on his page, so why paste it to me? --Golbez 21:26, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Can you add the Dance image also in Culture of Armenia page?

Can you put in the Culture page also? Cause it has the info but its empty, needs a Dance picture, just as the other topics there have an image. It will be even better to put in the Main Armenia page in Culture section —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tutankhaten7 (talk • contribs) 23:55, 10 February 2007 (UTC). Tutankhaten7 23:59, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

No I am not going to add any pictures so stop asking me to add pictures you go add your self its really annoying that you keep asking me to add that picture. ROOB323 20:46, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Award

		Armenian Barnstar of National Merit
		I, Artaxiad hereby award you the Armenian Barnstar of National Merit for your tireless contributions to Armenian related articles. Artaxiad 01:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

No problem, Artaxiad 06:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Ordu page

ROOB323, you reverted my edit without reason. If you read the Ordu discussion, I have established that the Balakian source is biased and based upon Dardian's biased point of view. The Vakit source dating to 1933 where Dardian cites as a source, also was not corroborated by any other person - academic or none, dead or alive. You are reverting to an edit in discussion and you did not discuss it before or after your edit. That amounts to "Sneaky Vandalism" and distruption of an ongoing discussion. Refer to Nishkid64 if you have issues with that. --Oguz1 23:44, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Re:Question

I have removed Oguz1's warning. He is not an administrator, and he was only warning you because you went against him at Ordu. He reported me, Artaxiad, Khoikhoi and you to WP:AIV in hopes to get us all blocked. Khoikhoi and I are both administrators, and his request was absolutely preposterous, claiming that we were vandalizing when it was just a dispute at the article. Also, Oguz1 violated WP:3RR and so he was blocked for a period of one week for the 3RR violation, personal attacks and slandering users. Thanks, and keep up the good work. Nishkid64 00:08, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Vakıflı

Thanks for your edits to that article. BTW, I noticed that there's no mention of the village in the Musa Dagh page. Would you be able to add some info about it (perhaps just a brief mention)? Thanks, Khoikhoi 04:39, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Arbitration

Hi. I added you to list of parties to an arbitration case initiated by Dmcdevit. Please make a statement at Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration#Armenia-Azerbaijan concerning the conflict with the other parties listed. Thanks. Grandmaster 17:17, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
