Ararat arev

It seems he broke the 3RR on this too. Haik Nareklm 20:22, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Regarding Haik page cited sources

Eupator, what info do you need for the "Haik is used in place of Orion, in the Armenian translation of the Bible." Do you need it so have the cited source "Bible verses: Job 9:9, Job 38:22, Amos 5:7," or what else you need the date of the bible? The version of the bibles of Armenian and English to show that it is really Haik in Armenian, and Orion in English of those "verses" ? So what info you need for the source Ararat arev 22:43, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

So the Bible is not a reliable source? Ararat arev 23:03, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Someone can look at the Bible and see that, specially when they are Armenian reading both languages. You can even check now you read Armenian? Ararat arev 23:04, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, so Vahan Kurkjian mentioned it? Good. Dont worry about the Sumerian issues. I'll get reliable sources when I find them, and discuss first in Talk pages dont worry. Ararat arev 23:32, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Make sure to put in the Orion_constellation|Orion link. Vahan also states its the Orion star constellation Ararat arev 23:55, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Vahan Kurkjian mentioned as you said the location of Mitanni in Armenia. Also, look how far Persians and Indians are now? The Indo-Aryan people that is. Sanskrit is also Proto-IE.Ararat arev 01:54, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Because...

...it was taking up space. I also apologize for not adding an edit summary. -- Clevelander 23:53, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Ottoman Muslim casualties of World War I

Have you seen this yet?: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Ottoman Muslim casualties of World War I -- Clevelander 00:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Haik

Ararat arev claims there's a consensus to unprotect the page. Is he correct? Khoikhoi 23:37, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Are you doing it or should I? Ararat arev 23:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Dacy69

Hello again Eupator. Dacy69 has called for me to look into the current editing of Urartu, which I will do. He has also mentioned that he feels he is being stalked. It does strike me that he has a point when you follow his comment on my talk page with a comment of your own. You are an experienced and valued editor on Misplaced Pages, yet you do appear to be getting a little too personal and emotional in regard to Dacy69 and his editing. It doesn't look good for you when you present evidence of wikistalking at the time when an editor is complaining about such activity! Stay cool. Concentrate on the article, and let the appropriate Wikipedians take care of complaints. I would strongly advise you to take care in your dealings with editors with whom you are in dispute. Remain civil. And do not pounce on comments they make on other's talk pages. I'll now be looking at the recent edits made to the Urartu article. Regards. SilkTork 08:38, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Urartu

I am working my way through the recent edits of the Urartu article. I find your 15th January edit of the article inappropriate. You are introducing a heavy weighted and unfounded political debate and inappropriate language history into a section of the article that is dealing with Ethnic Composition. Given the recent edit dispute with this article, and my own involvement as Advocate, this is a provocative thing to do. SilkTork 19:13, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

AMA

Just to let you know I will be helping in the dispute you are in. Do you know the policy Misplaced Pages:Ownership_of_articles? I feel as if you think you own the article and you don't want anyone else editing it, am I right? If I am right then you are breaking this policy. Also if you reverted his edits without looking at them like he said then you are sending the message that you do not care about what he rights. Assume good faith, even if he is wrong assume that he is doing for the good of wikipedia. You should Stay away from deleting info if it talkes about trying not to delete info with Verifiable and a Reliable source. Also I would like you to look at Misplaced Pages:Resolving disputes. Have a nice week and god bless. --James, La gloria è a dio 15:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

• If this person has given a reliable resource then when you delete it you are breaking wikipedia policies. If it is unsourced then you are not. Peace. --James, La gloria è a dio 16:00, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
• Encyclopædia Iranica is a reliable resource and the ressource for this info is from Encyclopædia Iranica. Unless you can find a reliable resource against this then when you are taking it out you are breaking the policies. You can not take out factual info from articles because you do not like it. For a example if I had my way I would take out the part in the christmas tree article that calls it pagan but I can't because there is reliable resources backing it up. Have a nice week sir. --James, La gloria è a dio 17:11, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
  • There is no reason to be talking about blocks. Please stop it. Thanks. --James, La gloria è a dio 20:00, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
• If you are civil to the others and work well with them I promise I'll give you a barnstar at the end. Peace. --James, La gloria è a dio 21:25, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
• Just to let you know we are going to talk about this on my desk from now on. Have a nice week and god bless you and everyone you know. --James, La gloria è a dio 23:22, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Prohaeresius

• Prohaeresius needed just a little Wikification (mostly just paragraph breaks); I gave it such and moved it to DYK next update. It's a very good article and I enjoyed reading it.
• The problem with using the term "Zakarid-Mxargrzeli" rather than "Mkhargrdzeli" in the Ani article is that the later term has a reference in the Ani article, the former doesn't. You did a great job with references in the Prohaeresius article...just do the same with this edit and it will be good. Thanks, House of Scandal 04:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

....speaking of which

On January 19, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Prohaeresius, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Merci, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:36, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Nagorno-Karabakh

The second source was from a scholar i got, it was not the armenian one. Nareklm 18:18, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Fine than, another thing a non-English source is not considered reliable eh... Nareklm 18:21, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Do you think this is needed, on wikipedia? Nareklm 14:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

WP:MILHIST Coordinator Elections

Ask for help

Dear Eupator!

I understood that you are an English native speaker and you worked on pages related to Iran. Then I would like to aks you to see my works on Iranian cinema and in particular Abbas Kiarostami. I would like to have comments from people to have an idea of my works' possible shortcommings. Thanks for your time. Sangak 21:02, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Nakhichevan

Hey Eup, could you look over the early history of the Nakhichevan article? I want to make sure that it's accurate. It seems as though we're missing significant details from the second and third paragraphs. -- Aivazovsky 21:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Albanian-Udi

Would you be able to provide an explanation for the tag on the talk page? It no longer says that Udis are Turkic peoples. Khoikhoi 15:32, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, but shouldn't it just be renamed and NPOV'd rather than being deleted? It seems to me that the subject itself is notable, right? Khoikhoi 22:57, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Location Maps

On the WikiProject Countries talk page, you had either explictly declared a general interest in the project, or had participated at a discussion that appears related to Location Maps for European countries.
New maps had been created by David Liuzzo, and are available for the countries of the European continent, and for countries of the European Union exist in two versions. From November 16, 2006 till January 31, 2007, a poll had tried to find a consensus for usage of 'old' or of which and where 'new' version maps. At its closing, 25 people had spoken in favor of either of the two presented usages of new versions but neither version had reached a consensus (12 and 13), and 18 had preferred old maps.
As this outcome cannot justify reverting of new maps that had become used for some countries, seconds before February 5, 2007 a survey started that will be closed at February 20, 2007 23:59:59. It should establish whether the new style maps may be applied as soon as some might become available for countries outside the European continent (or such to depend on future discussions), and also which new version should be applied for which countries.
Please note that since January 1, 2007 all new maps became updated by David Liuzzo (including a world locator, enlarged cut-out for small countries) and as of February 4, 2007 the restricted licence that had jeopardized their availability on Wikimedia Commons, became more free. The subsections on the talk page that had shown David Liuzzo's original maps, now show his most recent design.
Please read the discussion (also in other sections α, β, γ, δ, ε, ζ, η, θ) and in particular the arguments offered by the forementioned poll, while realizing some comments to have been made prior to updating the maps, and all prior to modifying the licences, before carefully reading the presentation of the currently open survey. You are invited to only then finally make up your mind and vote for only one option.
There mustnot be 'oppose' votes; if none of the options would be appreciated, you could vote for the option you might with some effort find least difficult to live with - rather like elections only allowing to vote for one of several candidates. Obviously, you are most welcome to leave a brief argumentation with your vote. Kind regards. — SomeHuman 7 Feb2007 20:10 (UTC)

Artashisian dynasty

Can I create Artashisian dynasty and Rubinian dynasty or is it already covered? Nareklm 07:57, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

No problem on that, also on the dynasties there already covered obviously i acted to fast. Nareklm 07:43, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

USSR image

Ah, thanks, but... 1967 isn't before 1954, is it? Besides, shouldn't we be applying Armenian rather than Russian rules? They seem to have 50 years after death of author (, p.16) Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:27, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Varazdat

Is Varazdat really a boxer? Nareklm 08:29, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Armenians

I understood your point but I also said that since you show Nagorno-Karabakh as a separate entity on that list, you already automatically imply that it is de facto independent. Reference to Azerbaijan must be made because the status of Nagorno-Karabakh is different from that of Russia, France, Iran or Lebanon, which are mentioned concurrently. Since it is not possible for Azerbaijan to appear on that list, some credit to it must be given; you cannot disregard it completely unless Nagorno-Karabakh is officially independent. As for the category, I don't see why you have to attach any footnotes to it. Even if you don't agree with it in terms of the NK issue, some Armenians still live in Azerbaijan outside of NK, thus the category seems perfectly suitable. Parishan 20:12, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

That footnote is more apt when you add the category, rather than when you remove it. It makes much more sense to show 'Ethnic groups in Azerbaijan' and to add that according to Nationmaster.com:Azerbaijan "almost all Armenians live in the separatist Nagorno-Karabakh region". And the footnote does not cover the de facto vs. de juro issue at all. Parishan 20:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

You haven't given any reasonable justification why the 'Ethnic groups in Azerbaijan' category shouldn't be shown. Why is there "no way"? Like I said, that category covers Nagorno-Karabakh, and the footnote as well as the infobox clearly explain that when one speaks of Armenians in Azerbaijan, it's mostly de facto independent Nagorno-Karabakh that is concerned. Parishan 21:07, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

The whole current status information is right on display, in the infobox. Besides, sources like CIA, Nationmaster and even Misplaced Pages itself list Armenians among ethnic groups that live in Azerbaijan. I don't understand how this shouldn't be the case with the Armenians article. Parishan 21:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Request for support in MilHist elections

Hello! I would like to ask you for your support in the Military history Coordinator elections being held presently. If you would like to support myself or any other candidate, please add your name to the list below my entry or theirs. We are looking to elect seven upstanding Wikipedians to ensure even more and better quality articles are produced and maintained in the coming year. Thank you! --Petercorless 15:46, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Blocked

Your recent spate of edit warring today is unacceptable. Three reverts at both Tigranes the Great and Nakhichevan and more at Urartu, plus uncivil accusations of vandalism , are unproductive. This is particularly true when yo immediately begin edit warring on an article that was just unprotected. When you return from your block, please use dispute resolution to politely work out the conflict in a manner suitable to encyclopedia editing. Dmcdevit·t 21:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Arbitration

I have opened an arbitration case regarding the current editing dispute you've been involved in. Please make a statement at Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration#Armenia-Azerbaijan concerning the conflict with the other parties listed. Thanks. Dmcdevit·t 10:25, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
