Misplaced Pages

Don't worry, I've been controversial myself and know how to deal with those stuff. I don't think less of you in anyway, being an nontheist/agnostic, your faith vs others faith won't change the direction of my thoughts. I just maintained neutrality, until things evolve a little bit. Just to let you know, that I have never supported anyone before you. Also, I do believe that you will be an OK admin, because of the controversies, which will force you to be more causious than the average admins. Fadix 00:53, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments

I thought I moved them under the section dissolution. These issues can be easily expended under dissolution page, WITH your help ofcourse. I do not remmember what happaned to specific text later on. Just a reminder; these conflicting issues needs a lot of space, and Ottomans deserve an introductory page that is consize and clean as much as Armenians have. This does not mean I disapprove discussion of conflicts, but I disapprove at least doing it on the main page. ps:Ottomamns have 900 years of history, I bet I can fill that page without you text. I hope you can appreciate what I'm saying. Thanks. I will check on that later tommarrow, for a curtesy to you.

My RfA

Thank you for your comments. I was going to universally thank everybody afterwards, but wanted to tell you that I adjusted the content of my user page a little bit (I didn't want to change it all because I don't want to be seen as desperate or anything). Let me know if you have any more thoughts. I honestly didn't think my user page was that virulent, but you are probably right in retrospect. Shadt Shenoragalem...

One of the three languages of Jerusalem- how could I not? :) But I can only understand light conversation, and cannot read or write characters (don't even know what the letters are). But I'm constantly trying to expand. Next target: Greek! Ramallite 22:14, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Treaties

I noticed that the entery for "Treaty of San Stefano" and "Treaty of Berlin, 1878" , barely mention the Armenian issue. Can't we add some info. about that, i.e. articles of both treaties that concerns the Armenians of Ottoman Empire ? --Maral79 12:46, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

In the current shape of the article, we can not because it will be misleading. Those two Treaty were much, much much more than covering the Armenians, both articles need to be expended, then perhaps we could add the Armenian cases. If we add the Armenian cases in its current shape, it will misrepresent both Treaties and fool the reader into believing that the Armenian issue was more incorporated in those Treaties then it really was. I'd probably expend those two articles if no one does it, but there are things that are before this in priority in my must do lists.

My RFA

Thank you very much for supporting my rather contentious request for adminship, but now that I've been promoted, I'd like to do a little dance here *DANCES*. If you have any specific issues/problems with me, please feel free to state them on my talk page so that I can work to prevent them in the future, and thanks once again!  ALKIVAR™ 07:33, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks again for your support on my RfA, which finally passed today. I greatly appreciate your vote and your responses to some of the opposition. Kisher pari, Ramallite 03:56, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Robert Smigel

re: "get a life" — not sure if you meant this as a quote, but many readers would think of this. See the 3rd paragraph. Best, Davenbelle 09:17, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm... I don't understand. Fadix 19:39, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

I was referring to this post of yours. I thought you might be interested in what others might well have read into it. — Davenbelle 03:50, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Hehe, how the heck you find such articles. :)

I saw the original broadcast and have known who Smigel is for as long. Chevy Chase was a Trek-Fan dressed up as Spock — William Shatner#Post-Star Trek career tore-off the cheesey fake-ears and told the bunch of fans to "Get a life" (and to find girls). — Davenbelle 04:10, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

P.S. I'm reading Middlesex (novel) which includes an account of the The Burning of Smyrna. I've also just read your article on Armenian genocide denial; I look forward to it moving into the main article space. Best, Davenbelle 04:35, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

It will take some time to finish that article. Fadix 21:24, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

If you'd like, I'll work on it a bit. — Davenbelle 04:10, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to bother with something unrelated to your subjects of interest, but I'd like to have a clearthinkers view on this: category needed?, maybe I'm wrong or overly sensitive there. --tickle me 06:55, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi there! Can you tell me what language hy stands for on your talk page? I am interested to know more about it, the script looks interesting! --HappyCamper 18:18, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

WikiThanks

The WikiThanks may be awarded as a way to say thank you to other Wikipedians.

Thank you for fixing spelling and grammer on my user page. I encourage you to do more fixes if you think they are necesary. Further more feel free to use/steal anything on my userpage ;) --Cool Cat 18:57, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Cool Cat

But there is nothing surprising in correcting grammar when I see them. Fad (ix) 01:43, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

True but cleaning articles from spelling and grammer errors (copy editing) should be encouraged on every opertunity.

If you have the time, I welcome you to "copyedit" my userpage and/or this article Oh My Goddess!

Thats all I got for now. --Cool Cat 10:03, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for supporting me for adminship. The RfA passed today. I look forward to working with you to make Misplaced Pages a better place. --Nlu 04:06, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

fighting POV at Armenian language

Hi, fighting POV at Armenian_language is getting a full time job lately. To fight it off and to ease tensions alike, I made these changes today, using info & sources already present at the talk page:

Old:

According to Hans K. Vogt's article in the 1997 Britannica, "Whereas Old Armenian was rather close to ancient Greek in many respects, Modern Armenian is typologically much closer to Turkish".

Armenian is an Indo-European language, its phonology has been influenced by Persian and Caucasian languages.

New:

According to Hans K. Vogt's article in the 1997 Britannica, referring mainly to Western Armenian, "Whereas Old Armenian was rather close to ancient Greek in many respects, Modern Armenian is typologically much closer to Turkish".

Differing from classical Armenian and versions of Modern Armenian, which, according to Bert Vaux, where purefied due to political considerations, Western Armenian phonetics have been influenced by Turkish, mostly from Ottoman Turkish, whereas Persian affected Eastern Armenian. As result of the Caucasian Sprachbund, Caucasian languages had an impact as well, which explains that Armenian has the most peculiar phonology of all extant Indo-European languages.

It might be helpful if you could give something like an short Imprimatur at Talk:Armenian_language, correcting errors, if needed. Else, the vandals might start again. --tickle me 06:37, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

I am just viewing my talk page right now, I am on a wiki vaccation for a week or so, when I come back I'll take a look. Regards Fad (ix) 15:20, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Greatings! I agree on your changes in the armenian language sctions. Thanks for refrasing that owful scentence about Armenian being typologicaly like Turkish. I still am in doubt about in what way did Voght mean typologicaly, knowing that typology could mean anything in this mather. I shall do my own reasearch though and upgrade that page a bit, becouse it still is a bit "misty" the aria about armenian being influenced by Caucasian languages. I my self come from Abchazia (west Georgia), so from the Caucasus it self. I heared a lot of languages thare but still can't pick any that sounds or writes even remotely like Armenian. But I'll see what I can find. --Pensamiento

Hi, your subpage is visible in Category:Genocides, could you please disable the categorisation like this ], thank you--–Gnomz(?) 06:31, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. Fad (ix) 15:21, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi Fadix

GREAT that you are fighting this Turkish nationalist basterds. If thare is any way I could help PLEASE let me know!!! I'm not that good in English, but I can do good reasearch, know scientific refering and can be very annoing at times. I also have about 500 IP's at my disposal. :) Also I probably could find a way to block my IP, so I can Irritate some Turkish nationalists without me being kicked. Or is this all illigal hehe? But ok man, THANKS for fighting for our couse hehee! Shout if need any help from me!! --Pensamiento

Such behavours are unwelcome here. Either you're just a teen or an unmature adult, in both cases I don't want to be associated with your future conduct(which according to what you wrote, would cost you a ban, and being considered as a vandal). The next time you answer with the same crap, I will delete your posts from my talk page. Fad (ix) 15:26, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

HEHEHE No I'm not a teener (am 22), but you could call me a bit imature if mature is speaking with inhibitions of your feelings. You could also just say it's illigal, there is no need for hostilaty. I'm just talking, I don't intend to put it in action if that would be something undesirable by you, even for the good couse. Just wanted to make that clear. No need to block me or somthing like that! I reason first befor act just so you know. I would think it's mature to ask before judge. But I understand your point either, you might not be taken seriously if you'd take on my offer. I understand No need to say anything! I see now it wouldn't make anything easyer for our couse. Sorry Dude won't hapen again!! Still thanks for your fight!! Bye!!! --Pensamiento

Thank you!

Hi Fadix,

Islamofascism

Howdy, Fadix.

The same folks who don't like books critical of Islam are now trying to delete Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Islamofascism (term) which has over 500 Kilogoogles (in various forms). Perhaps you could take a look and give your input. Klonimus 00:57, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Reverting talk pages

Hi there. Noticed you recently did this edit, reverting two horrible and aggressive comments on the Armenian Genocide talk page. I understand this is a heated argument (hell, most of the discussions on AG are!), so I wont meddle in it. I would like to suggest strongly that the comments be put back though; for one reverting other people's comments is rather unelegant imho, and secondly, both posts gave ample insight into the characters of the authors ;-). Two reasons to keep them in plain sight if you ask me. On the whole i think you do a good job keeping things real in there.

Greets, The Minister of War 20:15, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

• Grin* Precisely the reason i'm NOT reverting :-) I'm supposed to be on a Wikibreak myself! But i think i see your point, though its not something that archiving doesnt solve. Personally, when getting acquianted with a topic, i usually read through all the comments to see who are pushing what POV (and how badly), and these posts are certainly helpful in that respect!! But like i said, i wont get in the way; just a thought, but perhaps you are right to delete on sight. Greets, The Minister of War 08:49, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Dayr az-Zawr

Hi Fadix,

I am looking for someone who can tell me what Dayr az-Zur is called in Armenian. I put a transliteration of the Armenian name (Ter Zor) on the page for it because I have seen it referred to as such and it's quite important in Armenian history of a certain period. Checking on google after a couple of recent changes to the page, I find that another Armenian version, Der Zor, is twice as common on the internet. Should we include both?

What is the letter used in Armenian (if there's a standard Armenian version of the name), is it the inaspirate "ta"?

All the best, Palmiro | Talk 01:45, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

"Der Zor" and "Deir el-Zor" are usually the most accepted transliterations online and in books.--MarshallBagramyan 08:59, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

A question of Armenian

Hi, I checked out your user page and you speak Armenian! Cool :) I was wondering if you could check something out for me, is the Armenian translation here accurate, or might there be a better way of wording it? If you have comments you can leave them on the talk page. Thanks :) - FrancisTyers 18:29, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

It really depends what you mean by fking it. :) Do you want a literary translation? If so, the Armenian text there doesn't really represent it. Fad (ix) 21:25, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Rfa thanks

Fadix, come back...and thank you!

Fadix, I see you are on a wikibreak...well, when you return please note my thanks for your support of my RfA. It is much appreciated and I will do my best to be a good admin. Thanks again! Babajobu 00:38, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation.

Hope to see you there! -- user:zanimum

Nagorno Karabakh

Hey Fadix. I wonder what your position is on including Staravoitova's USIP link on the Karabakh page. Your input will be appreciated.

In my opinion, that person isen't any less credible than Atkinson. We can not decide ones credibility here in Misplaced Pages, the source exist, and if there is no published answer to the source, we can not include our personal critics and dismiss a link. Fad (ix) 16:59, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Well put, Fadix. I did invite others for input on the talk page, so feel free to post this on the talk page, unless you object.--TigranTheGreat 23:38, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Irrelevant stuff.

Fadix, Eagle has posted long irrelevant ranting on the Armenian Genocide TALK page. It's absolutely out of place and makes the page load slower. Please have it deleted. (you can see it in the history)--TigranTheGreat 17:04, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Your attitude

What are you talking about me trying to discredit you and being "low"? Looking back through my history, it was entirely clear why i brought up your block. You introduced my edit in the article by stating "Garnet, who was previously E.A., is continuisly reverting the reference to Ecevit etc., in the Turkish government section, which is unacceptable, this is not the first time he does such things, he in the past entirly deleted a section in the article" to which i replied "Do not try and smear my name on these pages, especially since you have been blocked for incivility already". This was a completely justified remark following your attempt to portray me as a vandal. I had warned you about your incivility weeks before your block, then you were blocked, and then you were uncivil in your conduct with me again, much like you have been in past two days. If you have a history of not being able to communicate in a civilised manner, then I will of course warn you by mentioning your prior offence. Likewise If I had a history of breaking the 3RR, then I would expect someone to mention my previous block. And you obviously don’t have a leg to stand on if you try to equate my 3RR offence in my early days as a "warning" from and administrator about my conduct, from which you have been so honourable not to mention. Pathetic. --A.Garnet 19:07, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

The only reason I pointed to your past login was because at that time you recently changed it, and was an information and since I myself learned of your changing of login not so long before I pointed to it it was relevent to name your past alias. Also, I have never been blocked for incivility because the decision was REVERSED, and this by the same Admin who took the decision to first block me!!! I was temporarly blocked for an accusation in an arbitration cases which was interpreted by an Admin as incivility and you knew that but you used it regardless. Also, I have never EVER been harsh with you for materials you have added but those you have deleted I am generally very harsh with deletion of materials... and I also already warned you to stop deleting things on your own talk page and it was a kind request and was far from being harsh. Also, I don't remember having called you a vandal.

Hello

Dear Fadix, I saw you on Raffi's userpage, hope you read my remarks. It's an honor to know you :)--TigranTheGreat 22:35, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Census

Fadix, do you have access to the sources containing the official 1897 census data (with the ethnic breakdown)--either Universalis, or your CD-ROM, or anything?--TigranTheGreat 23:28, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

It's ok, no rush, what you provided from 1911 Britanica shall suffice for now. To be honest, never heard of Universalis.

By the way, do you have access to your sources stating that Caucasus Arm. population had decreased by 20K before the repatriation, or even better, that the repatriation was done to partially compensate for that loss? I mean, including that Russian book that you posted?

One more thing. I glanced over your CIA sources on the NK page. Could you explain how exactly they help with this whole de-jure business? Thanks.--TigranTheGreat 07:43, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

C.Cat

Hi, Fadix. If Cat keeps insisting on putting the tag on, can you explain the situation to a sympathetic admin and get him to lock the page without the tag? Or get him to insist that Cat stops adding it - as I said on the discussion page, if one user had the right to keep a tag on then most of wikipedia's political topics would be "disputed".

FYI, he has reverted the page twice already, so watch out if he breaks the 3RR. Cheers, John Smith's 17:52, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
