Revision as of 10:26, 22 February 2007

Hello Parishan and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

• To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
• Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
• If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
• Follow the Misplaced Pages:Simplified Ruleset

• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Hi Parishan, I just wanted to inform you about the three-revert rule, which says that no one can revert an article more than 3 times in 24 hours. Please stop edit waring, because if you continue you may be blocked from editing. A suggestion is for you to discuss your grievances on the talk page instead. Thanks. —Khoikhoi 01:51, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Azeri

Hi Parishan. I noticed your great contribution to Azerbaijan-related articles. Well done, thanks a lot. You may wish to join the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Azeri, where we try to coordinate our activities on Azerbaijan related articles. Regards, Grandmaster 07:35, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Vahid

I did that by mistake probably. I just assumed he was Iranian because of his name, which doesnt resemble the Russian style names of Azeri's from the republic.Khosrow II 17:24, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Weakest link countries2.png

Suggestion

Hey Parishan, nice work on the Urums article. You might try listing it at WP:DYK—perhaps you could get it to be on the main page! (simply add new suggestions here) —Khoikhoi 04:27, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Interesting idea. Thanks! Parishan 06:27, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

List of city name changes in Russia and Soviet Union

Hi, Parishan! May I ask you why you unlinked a bunch of Russian cities/towns at List of city name changes in Russia and Soviet Union when you were making your edits? I can see neither pattern nor purpose.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:37, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I figured there was no point in linking names of tiny villages that are not likely to ever appear on Misplaced Pages as articles. If you think that was unnecassarily I don't mind reverting the page. Parishan 21:36, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation, but there were no villages in that list, only cities/towns. I am not going to revert now, but I will restore the links when I split the article (see Talk:List of city name changes in Russia and Soviet Union). Please, however, don't unlink any more entries—even when those red links are unlikely to get articles any time soon, they will need to get them eventually. Plus, these links are a part of a much bigger interlinking project. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 21:55, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

DYK

On 7 October, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Urums, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Congratulations! I saw it on the main page today. —Khoikhoi 03:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! And thanks for the idea too. Parishan 03:27, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Bir şey deyil. :-) —Khoikhoi 04:04, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Another word of advice: when you create a new article make sure to announce it at Portal:Azerbaijan/New article announcements and/or Portal:Russia/New article announcements. Cheers. —Khoikhoi 04:35, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Parishan 04:48, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Reply

I didn't realize that Iğdır had a significant Azeri population. I apologize for that. I am not "removing information having to do with Azerbaijan and Azeris from articles." As a matter of fact, I have worked constructively with many Azeri editors on Misplaced Pages and I have even helped develop the page on the Republic of Azerbaijan. I still find Baku87's map of Caucasian Albania questionable, however, and will continue to challenge it.

Now then, I'm not sure why, instead of being diplomatic towards me in your message, that you would present yourself as openly hostile with criticism for my political views. I mean you no harm in my edits and contributions and I apologize if I came off that way. If you must know, I am neither completely pro-seperatist or non-seperatist. I support Georgian unity (thus I am opposed to the sepratism of Abkhazia and South Ossetia which have historically been part of the Georgian nation) and I believe the best solution for Georgia in the long term is the establishment of a federal republic. I believe that the TRNC should work constructively to unify itself with the Republic of Cyprus instead of trying to seperate. I hold the view that both Greek and Turkish Cupriots should get along and that there should only be one Cyprus.

I support Nagorno-Karabakh's sepratism from Azerbaijan because I believe that at certain times in history, the region was part of Armenia and that Baku has proven itself unworthy of regaining it (with its constant threats against Armenia and its encouragement for public hostility towards Armenians). Overall, I hope that Armenians and Azerbaijanis can work together in peace and that Azerbaijan's claim over Karabakh is the only stumbling block between the two nations. I am sure that you have an opposing view and I really don't want to argue over this matter, so I won't go any further. This is just my opinion.

Again, I'm sorry if I came off as being brash. I hope that we can work together constructively on Misplaced Pages. Kindest regards, Clevelander 10:26, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

No problem, I fully understand. Best, Clevelander 09:00, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I extended my hand in peace to you and instead you call cited contributions that I've made lies. Please know that I am willing to work with you, but I ask that you be considerate of others' additions. Kindest regards, Clevelander 22:44, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I understand. I think in general, it would be better for us to discuss our edits calmly before throwing accusations at each other such as "liar." All the best, Clevelander 00:55, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Cut-n-Paste move of Vladimir Abramovich Rokhlin

Please avoid Cut-n-Paste moves of the articles. It strips articles from their history and is a violation of the GFDL license. If you want to rename an article just press the "Move" button (next to the history). Please discuss the best name on the talk page of the article Alex Bakharev 02:22, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Antisemitism compromise

Parishan, I have removed the sections on antisemitism in Azerbaijan and Armenia on the Antisemitism article as a compromise with you. I just noticed your recent addition to the latter and I really don't want to get into a sort of "antisemitism war" by adding further information on the phenomenon in Azerbaijan.

Look, antisemitism has never exactly been big in Armenia, Azerbaijan, or for that matter, Georgia. In general, our people (Armenians, Azeris, Georgians, etc.) are very tolerant of Jews and other religious and ethnic groups. Those who are antisemites are in the minority. I actually have quite a few Jewish friends (including some Armenian Jews). Please understand that I request this for the benefit of both of our nations and for both of us representing them on Misplaced Pages. Let's just leave it to that instead of giving each of our nation's a bad name and a black eye. We are Christian and Muslim, we are children of God. Why must we attempt to prove each other's hatred towards another Western religion? Just to show which ethnic group, which nation, in general, is more morally superior? It's absolutely ridiculous and there's no point in doing it.

Hopefully, this will work in the long term. I feel that both Armenians and Azeris are good people (we got along for years together under Soviet rule) and I don't think that we should sink to this level. Kindest regards, Clevelander 11:05, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I wasn't planning on initiating a "war". If you look in 'history', you'll see that I've been adding or editing information on other countries as well. But if this is so important, then sure, I guess the article should be fine without that piece of info on the Caucasus. Parishan 04:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. :) -- Clevelander 21:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Paytakaran

Hi. I noticed you had a similar dispute on Caucasian Albania page, you may wish to have a look at this article's talk. Regards, Grandmaster 08:16, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Please have a look here as well: Grandmaster 10:34, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

You have made impressive contribution to Azerbaijan related articles. You may wish to join Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Azeri. Just put your name in the list of participants. Also, we have Portal:Azerbaijan, if you have any ideas on its improvement, or if you would like to update it with some information, you are welcome to do so. Grandmaster 12:43, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Just noticed, I have already informed you about the wikiproject. Sorry for the repeat. Take care. Grandmaster 12:44, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:43 church1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:43 church1.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Azerification

Perhaps you could leave a comment on the talk page outlining specifically what you dispute, then hopefully we can come to a compromise. Also, when you edit war, people will tend to take you less seriously than when you try to discuss changes. Perhaps you might consider following the one-revert rule (I usually make two reverts).

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar For your outstanding contribution to Azerbaijan-related articles. Keep up the good work! Grandmaster 17:24, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

P.S. I did not want to mess up your user page, so feel free to move the barnstar around. Grandmaster 17:24, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Jalil Mammadguluzadeh

I edited a bit the article that I initiated. You may want to look at it again. Thanks for the material you added to the page. It needs a bit rearrangement. For example the name in Azeri should come first and the Persian one after that. But in my editor it looks strange when I rearrange it. I can not handle the paranthesis. I hope the article will be in a form that Azerbaijani people and also Iranian people enjoy reading it. happiness of all people was Jalil's dream during his lifetime. Thanks. Take care. Sangak 18:26, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Name of Turkey

Thanks for expanding the list! You are right, the country list wasn't such a good idea.. This is simpler.. Baristarim 20:23, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Nakhichevanski

Hi. I think the article about general Nakhichevanski should be called Hussein Khan Nakhichevanski, as the title Khan was officially part of his name and he was never called simply Huseyn Nakhichevanski. The one who refused from the title of khan was his nephew Jamshid, who was a Soviet commander and was forced to conceal his noble origin. Regards, Grandmaster 13:03, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Sure, that sounds alright. Parishan 16:34, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Ingilo

Hi Parishan. I made some corrections in the Georgians and Saingilo articles. I have to respectfully disagree with you in that the term "Saingilo" is not as "fairly recent" as you wrote in the Saingilo article. It appeared in the mid-19th century, not in the late 20th century. Indeed, the area had earlier been inhabited by the Albanian Hers (probably also by the Lpins and Tchilbs) who became assimilated into Georgians from the 7-8th to the 10th centuries. The region remained within Georgia until the early 17th century. The other part of ancient Albania which became Georgian was a northern portion of Gardman (Ge: Gardabani). Caucasian Albania is within the scope of my interest and I woould like to improve the main Albania article one day. Best regards, --Kober 05:34, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey

Would you be able to help me by adding sources to the Karapapak article? The whole article is unreferenced. Thanks, Khoikhoi 07:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Mail

Hi. Could you please enable your e-mail. Just add it to your preferences settings so that others could mail you, if you wish so. Thanks. Grandmaster 08:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Done! Parishan 03:36, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Sulkevitz

hello Parishan Why you oppose to Sulkevitz to be listed there? at the end he was our first chief of staff, he was of turkic origin like us and he was killed by soviets because he served our country, that sulkevitz did much more thing for our country that that Sona Babayi or mahammad reza pahlavi. do you think it is just to list those but not to list Sulkevitz? anyway, i am now searching for the more corect info about sulkevitzes and in these days in Zerkalo newspaper they are publishing articles about them. I think we should discuss it. Elsanaturk 16:26, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Armenians

With respect to a recent revert war in the said article: please discuss further changes on the talk page before reverting. --May the Force be with you! Shreshth91 06:00, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Blocked

--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91 06:15, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

For continuing edit warring today, with another three reverts at Armenians and not a single edit to the talk page, you have been reblocked. Please use dispute resolution when you find yourself in a colflict, rather than reverting ad infinitum. Dmcdevit·t 05:45, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Armenians

Hello Parishan, while NK is de jure in Azerbaijan it is de facto independent. The problem with adding that category is that we cannot attach footnotes to it with all the de facto/de jure stuff. The article already mentions that NK is de jure in Azerbaijan.-- Ευπάτωρ 19:26, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
