Golden I believe capture is a better term for anything former NKAO. Your reason for reverting me concerned grammar, but this is a different case; It’s a separate war happening decades later. It’s not like we can say the Artsakh Republic recaptured it from the Soviet Union or something. ZaniGiovanni (talk) 13:31, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
What you're saying is correct when referring to settlements primarily inhabited by Armenians (e.g. saying "Armenians captured Stepanakert" during the First Nagorno-Karabakh war would be wrong). But this is not the case for Shusha, which was captured first by Armenians in 1992 from Azerbaijanis who had controlled it since the beginning of the war, and then recaptured by the same party. Saying that a city was "captured in 1992 and then captured in 2020" makes no grammatical or contextual sense. — Golden13:44, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Azerbaijan and Artsakh were the last parties in the conflict to capture and recapture settlements. I'm sure you're smart enough to understand that; don't drag this out any longer than necessary. — Golden13:39, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
I’m not here to entertain condescending comments or edit summaries, so keep it to yourself whatever your unfounded opinion is regarding my reply. I opened this discussion after you reverted me, I didn’t revert you, I didn’t even breach WP:0RR, and all I receive in response to my good faith comment trying to understand the logic behind your edit is “waste of time”? I stated a simple thing based on your rationale, and what do you mean by “last parties”, what does this have to do with capture? This doesn’t change the fact that capture by Azerbaijan happened decades later of something that wasn’t even considered occupied, so it should be stated as capture.

3O Response: hi there Golden and ZaniGiovanni! after reviewing this dispute, i believe it would be appropriate to use the term "recapture" following "capture". here is some context for my stance regarding this issue:
if the Aghoghlan Gate (originally under control by Azerbaijan ) was captured by the Republic of Artsakh (y), that means that chronologically the control shifted from Azerbaijan (x) to the Republic of Artsakh (y). then, if Azerbaijan (x) captured the same gate they previously had under control, it would be considered a "recapture". (in order, the control is as follows: , , )
the only plausible explanation for the term capture to be used is if a third party, who had no previous control over the gate, interfered. however, from my understanding, only two parties had involvement in capturing the gate. the first party (x; Azerbaijan) previously had control of the gate, and as such it would be considered a recapture if they lost and regained control. .huepow16:02, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
