== Carl Lewis == ==Collage==
Dear TheShadowCrow


I made the collage using '''Photoshop''' (Adobe), but if you do not have this program installed, I can also recommend the program '''Paint'''. You need to copy all the people you wish to include from Wikimedia Commons, but remember to include a reference, otherwise the collage will be deleted after you upload it. Assemble all the people in Paint or Photoshop to make a perfect square. Save it on your desktop. Now go to Wikimedia Commons and click UPLOAD IMAGES/FILES. Choose your collage, fill out necessary information and include a reference, but you have to include a reference of every single person (picture). I also recommend to do no more than 40 people otherwise the square might not work out. Also make sure your images are not pixelated.
I undid your edit in the ] article again. You brought up that Emmiyan should be referred by his ethnic group however, athletes in this article are referred to by the nation they represented, not by their ethnic groups. Notice Ben Johnson is referred to as a Canadian and not as a Black Canadian or African Canadian or Jamaican Canadian. Additionally, regarding the sentence you have edited, the sentence is in context of the nation that he represented during the race, not what he would represent in the future. There should be no special treatment regarding this one particular athlete. This information is in Emmiyan's Misplaced Pages article anyway so there is no need to add to the Carl Lewis article which would damage the above uniformity I mentioned. As a result, I undid your edit again. ] (]) 00:14, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
::Please stop adding the term Soviet Armenian for Emmiyan for this particular 1986 event. The above still applies and again, Emmiyan was representing the Soviet Union at the time, not Armenia. Even the referenced source states the Soviet Union. It doesn't say Soviet Armenian or Armenian Soviet. ] (]) 19:18, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

:::::Again the source in the article lists Soviet Union and multiple sources list the Soviet Union. It wasn't until after this 1986 event that he competed for Armenia.

The category looks good.

I have an Armenian book which lists all the ethnic Armenian medalists of the Soviet period and indicated the city/republic they came from. So it won't take much of a time from me. I'll try few ways of pointing out the ones from Arm SSR and chose the best one and I'll let you know before applying it.

Please the evidence that he is an Armenian citizen, otherwise the category will be removed. You probably know that the Russian law requires that everybody who naturalizes into Russian citizenship has to renounce all previous citizenships. The place of birth is irrelevant. The fact that Galstyan is ethnic Armenian is prominently featured in the article (in fact, before my edits it was difficult to figure out that he is competing for Russia and not for Armenia), and this is in my view more than enough.

'''2.''' Calling someone a vandal isn't insulting if they are vandalizing. And that's what E4024 did by removing information supported in the article. In fact, you didn't take the reference to Armenian culture off, so you must agree with me that it shouldn't have been removed.

'''3.''' I thought carefully about if I should undo his edit or not and I decided it would be ok because this is neither a BLP nor a political topic

'''4.''' I did not see how this fits in with AA subjects. You're wording on the ROA page implies editing on the page to remove vandalism is justified anyway.

You said it's ok to edit AA pages to revert vandalism. ('''Note:''' Not that I was ever told geographical land thats not in Armenia or Azerbaijan falls under Armenian and Azeri topics.)

You recognize E4's edit as removal of content.

The very first sentence on the Vandalism page mentions removal of content falling under vandalism.

I did not personally attack him in any way.

His edit implies irredentism is a part of Armenian culture, which can be considered a racist statement.
