Thanks for your kind words. I wanted to save the page from deletion because this is an important page to preserve. He has pages in so many languages and he should have one in English. Very very soon I'll prepare one in Arabic. And at some later date in Armenian. Now that the page has been saved and notoriety established, it would be nice to add small stuffs to it based on the Russian pages etc. What we need immediately for example is English transliteration of the Russian singles titles. For example, instead of *Обручальная, that we have, we should say *Obrucsalnaja (Обручальная) leaving the Russian in parenthesis and the English transliteration as main. Can you do these for the page for the RUSSIAN singles titles in the English Wikipedia? The way it stands now is not correct in English Wikipedia for those who cannot read Cyrillic.

Aregakn, This map was created based on scholarly sources and it shows the location of Iberia within the periphery of the roman empire and is suitable for the section which describes the Iberian history in the Roman context. You are blatantly removing this map under alleged claim of "POV" and not presenting any viable argumentation or reference in order to show how "POV" it is. You replace this map with the outdated one which is un-scholarly but i understand why this map suits your own POV, the border of Armenia are greatly extended into Caucasus. Instead of vandalizing this article and removing valuable maps, i appealed to you previously to cooperate rather than engulf in edit wars. If you dont cease from blatant removal of this map which does not suit your Armenian POV, I will appeal to administrators and report you as vandal and POV pusher. Moreover, this article will be locked until further resolution of the dispute.Iberieli (talk) 18:17, 24 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at History of Georgia (country), you will be blocked from editing. Iberieli (talk) 18:23, 24 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

More easy for you and others to understand to make it, I shall do it like this:

Chapter 1

1. You speak of cooperation you proposed.

1)I had not only agreed but also shown in that very discussion that I do contribute in accordance to the rules.

2)But after my request to comment the article itself I did not see you continuing and "cooperating", as you say. But you intentionally stop the "cooperation" (though you are there) so making technically impossible any discussions.

2.I'd suggest you first to (at least) read the rules you are suggesting to have been violated by me (vandalize) befor you openly accuse me. Otherwise you are missleading the editors with your attacks.

3. Your accusations of me having a POV are non-reasonable due to:

1) I did not express an opinion of my own

2) I do always bring reliable sources as references

The issue of the map change.

Answers to your arguments and/or justification of mine

1.

 

(I shall call it "the 1st map"/"the old map") is licensed as "Own work" by the editor.

1)This makes it be a POV and/or a personal research of the editor

2)The publications of personal researches are not allowed by the rules

2. In this regard, the claim that it is made based on scholarly resources is:

1)Your personal point of view

2)does not justify using this map

3. "Removal of the map" phrase is by me considered an intent to suit the circumstances to your own benefit, as it was not removed but changed.

4. The justification of the change was mentioned while the action (and, as you can see, is justified in more details above). The sentence, that the map is "An editor's personal work" was also mentioned hence your other claim of me "not presenting any viable argumentation" is baseless.

5. The claim of me presenting an "outdated" HISTORICAL map

 

(I shall call it "the 2nd map"/"the new map"), forgive me for expressing my opinion, seems quite ridiculous. I don't even think it needs commenting.

6. The claim of the map I proposed being un-academic is pure manipulation. It can be found for educational purposes in different universities and libraries and used in the academic processes. I've updated some information in it's summery so you can see it as an example.

In addition to above mentioned I will add MORE reasons of why to remove it and mention why to have my change

1. The 1st map is not suitable for this section as the section is named "The Roman Conquest of Iberia and Colchis". In the map you prefer:

1) It is clearly obvious there is no Colchis

2) The map has not mapping, no bordering of either Iberia or Colchis

3) The absence of the above mentioned not only doesn't show that it wasn't made to enlighten anything connected with those kingdoms, but also has an approximate "whereabouts" of the Caucasian Kingdom of Iberia.

2. The map I presented is not only academic and published, but also spots the Iberian Kingdom AND the Kingdom of Colchis AND their borders.

3. The 1st map is claimed by the editor to be “The maximum extent of the Roman Empire” and is in his own understanding. The 2nd map is named the same way “The Roman Empire at it's greatest extent" and is a published map in a historical atlas.

4. And in addition the 2nd map is easily suitable under the featured image policy of Wikipedia.

My conclusion

1. Your claim of suitability of the old map isn’t justified

2. Your claim of the new being not academic is baseless

3. Your claim of it being my POV is baseless

4. Your claim of vandalism is even more

5. You fail to see the old map’s contradiction to Wiki rules

6. You fail to see the advantages of the new map

7. You fail to understand the justifications of edits on time

8. You fail to understand what a POV is

9. You fail to understand what a reliable source is

10. You fail to cooperate with other editors not having your view

11. You baselessly attack other editors and threaten them

12. You are welcome to apply to Admins for a resolution; it will be my pleasure to have the truth prevailing by any means.

13. If you have any comments or arguments of what I said, please use the points I mentioned in here [example: “The issues of the map change” 2.1)]

I hope you will also read it in the article's discussion and get back to my page to either make a comment or ask for an excuse for false accusations! Aregakn (talk) 22:13, 25 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

I agree with Iberieli, please stop removing the modern map. The new map is far superior in legibility and accuracy. You are correct that it is currently unsourced, but I have asked the map's creator to list the sources used in making the map. Once that rather simple task is done your concerns about it being original research will have been addressed. - SimonP (talk) 06:24, 28 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your comment. Whether you or i agree to the "map" being good or bad in general has nothing to do with it contradicting with several Wiki policies I listed.

In addition, most importantly for us making an opinion, it is not made as a map or in accordance to any topographycal rules, and cannot even be called a map. It is a picture showing approximate locations and could only be used to show how many and what kind of provinces the empire had.

Pls get serious with understanding some professional aspects of the contributions we make and let us keep the feelings we have aside.

In addition, I am expecting not to hear opinions but to see argumentations. Wish us best of all Aregakn (talk) 11:26, 28 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi Aregakn

I don't want to derail our other conversation, so I'm replying to your last post here. Keep in mind, as I mentioned before, that I'm nobody in particular and nothing that I say is necessarily binding. I'm just trying to offer a third opinion in a dispute.

So, with that out of the way, you said; "I want you to tell me if you are saying, that if, for instance, I make a historical map on my own, claiming it's referenced, and put it in an article of history somewhere you'll see it right and if yes, what are the bases?"

I guess my view is that it's necessary in wiki for people to be able to create images without causing any problem with "The Rules". Generally speaking, it's difficult to get good images without breaching copyright. In the case of historical maps generally (I'm not talking about our specific case here), there is always ongoing research and the scholarly maps that are available may be quite old. They are also sometimes hard to understand for a modern reader. So, for those reasons, I would generally be inclined to agree that a created map, with proper referencing, is acceptable.

Having said that, each case has to be considered on its merits. I don't think a created map should be dismissed out of hand, but I think that if there are two maps of equal merit, one published and the other created for wikipedia, then the published map should be preferred.

You also made some comments on the created map as not showing the boundaries of the kingdom. I do think that it's an important factor, but I'm still making up my mind on the matter of the two maps. As I've said over there, I'll await any response from Iberieli (or whoever else might be interested) before replying. I think courtesy demands that I wait at least 48 hours from my last post. After that, I'll give my opinion in a bit more detail.

Finally, I just wanted to say thank you for the civil and polite (and helpful!) way you've conducted yourself during our discussions. I can see that this means a lot to you and I'm pleased that you are making the effort to discuss the matter rationally. Cheers! Thepm (talk) 21:24, 4 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hey, I'm not an admin, but I do GA reviews so I should be able to offer some help with images. What would you like to know? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:30, 7 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Ah! I'll be so much grateful!! You can't even imagine :) [seriously].

1) My first question will be about the photos from internet. If I found a photograph on the net on a website of a news agency, a photo that is obviously published and put in public domain (if i understand the term correct) can it be used in Wikipedia and if yes, which copyright license should be used for it?

2) If a photo is made by a friend (not me) but is passed to me for the purpose of publishing it in wiki, which license should be used?

3) If a photo is made by a personally-unknown person but is published in his/her blog, online diary and sources like that, are these photos not in public domain and can they be used in Wiki. If yes, which copyright should be used for them.

4) One more specific question. If a person made a photo and passed it personally to a news agency for it to be published and so it was, can this picture be used and which license suits the case?

I hope it's not too complicated...

Thanks again VERY much!

Aregakn (talk) 18:52, 8 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

OK then.

1) almost certainly no. For WP purposes, unless the author has specifically released it under a compatible licence (see below!) it cannot be used, unless as fair use (again, see below!)

2)If your friend wants to retain rights to it, you'll have to provide email proof that it is theirs and they give permission. If they release it to you, you can use it without problem.

3)No. You will need their permission to use it, try emailing them, but make sure they own the image

4)No. That will be copyright of the news agency or the photogpraher's employer

I'll be back in a minute to explain more, but I'm currently doing the bot's job on WP:AIV because the bots are broken! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:36, 8 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

• You can use a copyright image under fair use in certain circumstances- ie where an image is required but a free one cannot be found. You'd need to read WP:NFC for details on that. Do let me know if you have more questions though! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:43, 8 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks a lot mate! Though the rearons are not fully understandable but thabks. So you mean a non-emloyee of a news agency publishing in it his/her made photo doesnt give me a chance to use it either. OK. And what about the e-mail you were telling about? who, where and how should it be presented? Aregakn (talk) 12:13, 11 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

You're welcome. The reasons aren't clear to me either, but policy is policy. Copyright law is fiddly (I should know, I'm a law student!) but the aim, at the end of the day, is to have free content wherever possible so people can reuse it, like they can with the text. If you have an image that isn't yours, but the copyright holder wants attribution, get them to email it to photosubmissionwikimedia.org  with the details listed here. Alternatively, they can upload it here or to commons: themselves or to Flickr, which allows its users to choose a licence (they can require attribution but it must be available to use commercially). Hope that helps! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:51, 11 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

I thought it was clear. The Kingdom of Urartu/Ararat is called by that name presently because of Assyrians calling it so. The people of Urartu named themselves Biaynili.

Hello Aregakn. This is in regards to you undoing my edits of Armenian Genocide on 22/23 April, 2010, with your edit summary "In English language all words in headings are written with upper cases...". Go to most any page in Wikipedia, and you will note that almost all section and sub-section headings are in lower case, except for the 1st letter, proper names, titles, etc. For that matter, the article in question, as it stands now, has almost all heading words in lower case (for example at the bottom of the page, take a look at the headings, Further reading, Online resources, External links, Interactive media, etc, etc). The few words I did not change in this article's headings were ones I was not sure whether or not they were parts of titles. Leon7 (talk) 21:16, 23 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

If all (the majority of) the headings are wrong it doesn't mean others should be changed to that. Then editors have to work on correcting the wrong ones. There are rules in English language, aren't there? If I know them bad, I'd like others to correct me in this or other regards. Aregakn (talk) 07:51, 24 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sardur (talk) 05:25, 7 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi Aregakn. I can see you are a serious editor, so let me explain my removal of the reference top the God Pan in detail. Clearly the Greek word Pan can mean the god Pan. Or it can mean the prefix pan, meaning "all." These are two very distinct and different meanings. So the question is which meaning is relevant to the word pantheism? Has the god Pan got anything to do with pantheism so as to justify inclusion in the Wikipedia article? Here's the evidence.

CURRENT USAGE First, note that no dictionary gives "worship of the god Pan" as one of the meanings of the word pantheism. So the god Pan is irrevelant from that point of view.

ETYMOLOGY The word pantheist was first used in English in 1705 by John Toland and was a fresh neologism at the time - it was never used in classical times. Therefore the intent in Toland's mind is the key factor. Toland defined a pantheist a person "who has no other Eternal Being than the Universe." Clearly it was pan as a prefix meaning "all" that was Toland's intent. He made no reference to the god Pan either here nor in his later work Pantheisticon. So from an etymology standpoint the "god Pan" meaning of the pan part of pantheism is irrelevant.

It is quite confusing for readers who may be encountering pantheism for the first time to read that the god Pan has anything whatsoever to do with it. The reference 3 that you found is just plain misguided. The Rev Bert Gary is a student of biblical matters and is not a scholar of classical Greek or of pantheism. He does not even mention the correct etymology for pantheism. --Naturalistic (talk) 16:48, 7 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for coming back to it and I shall explain what I wrote and comment what you did.

"Current Usage"

You are wrong to interpret my addition as "the worship of Pan (the god)". There is nothing pointing it out and neither was it written that way. " Sometimes the root "Pan" is also identified with the Greek God Pan, the God of Nature that has the hindquarters, legs and horns of a goat." And also added "In many mythologies the goat or a goat-like-man symbolizes the Nature." As you can see, there is nothing about the worship of the god and there is only emphasis on the God symbolising Nature .

• Conclusion: all the references I brought were correct in the context of what I wrote, which is "Sometimes the root "Pan" is also identified with the Greek God Pan".

"Etymology"

The word as it was first used (by whoever, whenever) has not much to do with the perception of it currently or by different groups about which I spoke in my edit. This was not THE chapter, where it speaks of history, and, as you know, that very chapter is comes after in the article.

"etymology" itself makes researches of the origins of a word from the point of view of it's connections to other words or expressions in that or other languages.

• Conclusion: history of the term is not what I stated about. Etymology is not the paragraph I edited and it is not only the meaning of the root "pan" that etymology is there to study.

There is no confusion in the sentence I added where it states that the root is sometimes identified with the god Pan that was the god of Nature. I regret, that you had not seen what I wanted to state, but yet I see no arguments that my contribution to the article was anyhow wrong. If you can bring anything up in this regard, I am willing to hear and discuss.

In addition you have once again removed non-vandalism with no clear reason or discussion and asked for no more references if you thought those were wrong. You are not the only editor having a right to edit this article so please be patient and cooperative. Aregakn (talk) 13:20, 8 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I am not saying your contribution was wrong in itself and certainly not that it was vandalism - it is perfectly correct as to one of the meanings of Pan. What we disagree about is whether this other meaning of Pan belongs in the article about Pantheism, and moreover right up at the top in very first sentence of the intro which is all that some people read. What I am suggesting is that this inclusion will mislead many readers about what Pantheism means.

I agree that the first use of a word is not always relevant to the current usage - however in this case it is very relevant for two reasons. The first is that the original meaning of the word by Toland is still the current meaning. And the god Pan has nothing to do with that. The second is that Toland invented the word and so he is the only source of the etymology. Therefore what he meant by the pan prefix is very relevant. And the god Pan had nothing to do with that, either.--Naturalistic (talk) 15:41, 9 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I agree with you in all but the etymology of the word. As I said, etymology is not only what the roots mean but also the relevance to other words and expressions.

But in either case I also agree with your will to have not mentioned Pan the God in the first part for the article for the "superficial readers" not to possibly get mixed in the meaning. Then let us think where that mentioning is suitable because it isn't done anywhere in the article. I am convinced, that the relation with other religions has nothing to do there, so it cannot be in that part. What do you think of it? Aregakn (talk) 21:35, 9 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi Aregakn!
These are my last minutes on wp before some holidays, so I would suggest you to add your points to my request.
Advise:

• keep it short - admin are bored by long statements;
• don't go too deeply into substance (in this regard, manipulation of sources is a good catch, but you should insist on the behaviour, not on sources); admins have no editorial function.

By the power vested in me by the Arbitration Committee under Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan 2#Amended_Remedies_and_Enforcement, I hereby issue the following sanction:

For the next year, you are restricted from referring to others' edits as vandalism (including "possible vandalism", "potential vandalism", etc.), including but not limited to in edit summaries and talk page posts, except where reverting the edit would qualify for exemption from the three-revert rule.

Should you wish to appeal this sanction, you may do so at my talk page, at WP:AE, or to the ArbCom. Stifle (talk) 09:06, 10 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Stifle, I do still see you as neutral and constructive so I will admit the sanctions if I cannot convince you on your talk page. Or maybe you can convince me in the need of it :).

I thought I refered to the term "vandalism" the least I could (especially in comparison with many such claims I encountered during my relatively short contribution to Wiki) as I see not many actions can refer to it (also according to Wiki). Can you please point the bases and why it is required? Thank you. Aregakn (talk) 11:01, 10 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

The most recent was item #7 in your complaint about Hittit. The sanction is merely to encourage you not to throw around the term loosely. Stifle (talk) 11:36, 10 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I mentioned a possible vandalism, as I saw some signes of "Sneaky vandalism" - hiding vandalism, where in general four identical edits Hittit made on the same subject:

[2] [3] [4] [5]

only once ([6]) he deleted that picture of NewYork Times and gave no reasoning in the summery (at least). Neither was it ever discussed on the talk page. Could one not have doubted it was possibility a Sneaky Vandalism? Aregakn (talk) 12:04, 10 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I could agree with "sneaky", but not with "vandalism" — the edits might not be agreed, but are not completely inappropriate. Stifle (talk) 13:00, 10 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Are you saying that the deletion of a factual cover of NY Times paper   was made in good faith? Or that it was "appropriate". Aregakn (talk) 13:16, 10 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

It was, at worst, a misleading edit summary, and he has been sanctioned for that. Stifle (talk) 13:25, 10 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Wait, I am speaking of the concrete action that Hittit made that I mentioned as "possible vandalism". So if it is about what I called "possible vandalism", and if you don't see it was not in good faith, let us discuss that edit. And then that I worth being sanctioned for this. Or maybe you do think that it could be seen as an act done not in good faith and inappropriate and we should stop the discussion? Aregakn (talk) 13:38, 10 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

There is a merit to the argument. But still, it's important to avoid the "v-word". How about as a matter of good faith, I will reduce the sanction from one year to one month? Stifle (talk) 13:38, 10 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yes, this is why I do try to avoid a direct accusation in vandalism and in that comment I wanted to bring it to the attention, so the closing Admin would consider and value it him/herself. This was my only intetion. Though the idea of being sanctioned for the above mentioned is hard for me to ccept, I shall leave the decision to you.

Thank you for your participation in the discussion. Aregakn (talk) 13:47, 10 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Very well. I hereby modify the above sanction to expire in one month, rather than one year. You retain the right of further appeal to WP:AE and to ArbCom. Stifle (talk) 15:56, 10 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

My pleasure. I was trying to warn you you were a bit in a hurry to make a separate article. Have you not checked your mail? I was trying to show you the propper way to do it on the Arm Genocide discussion. Now some editors will want to make wars again. I'll make a "resumè" and include it to the Genocide article. Aregakn (talk) 06:29, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I've also thought about that a bit, but I think that the reparations issue is a topic in itself, kind of like the Recognition of the Armenian Genocide. It can't simply be limited to a paragraph in the Armenian Genocide page. --Davo88 (talk) 06:40, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Aregakn. I noticed and appreciate your good-faith effort to improve the Georgian alphabet page. The change you made, however, from "has been" to a form using "was" indicates the opposite of your stated intent, so I have reverted it. "Was believed" indicates that it is no longer believed. "Has been believed" does not carry the same meaning and includes the belief in present time. Just wanted to explain the reversion. Cheers. JFHJr (㊟) 19:28, 16 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

OK, and which are the academic sources that prove the rejection? Aregakn (talk) 06:01, 17 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure what rejection you're referring to. You changed "has been believed" to "was asserted." Has been and were convey grammatically different information. To illustrate, add "for ten years" to the end: "It has been believed for ten years" is not the same as "It was believed for ten years" because the former indicates a presently continuing belief whereas the latter indicates a blief that might no longer be held.

Because some scholars (i.e., those referenced in the paragraph in question) currently believe both that Mesrop Mashtots was the creator while others (i.e., those referenced in the following paragraph) currently believe in an older origin, the use of was is at best inaccurate and at worst inconsistent with the information in the article.

Did this answer your question? Or were you asking for an academic source on grammar? JFHJr (㊟) 21:46, 17 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I do appreciate your good-fait efforts in the article, but it seems to me, that you have not only reverted the "was" to "have been" but also the wors "asserted". Would be relevant if you changed only the tense you claim expresses a wrong idea. This indicates the opposite of the stated intent. Especially when you have one edit earlier made the same change in the opposite manner [7]. "believed" was changed to "have asserted" by a summary "believed" doesn't reflect that some obviously still do; English revision". words asserted and believe are not the same so first of all your edit was not concerning the English language (only), and secondly, if so, it could have been a change to "believe" and not "...have asserted".

So tell me, reverting my change from "was asserted" back to "has been believed" and keeping your implication that the Georgian scholars "have asserted", what change does it make to the context?

And please tell me why "was asserted" wasn't changed to "has been asserted", if it was the problem of the tense in English language.

Thank you, Aregakn (talk) 22:21, 17 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Your change was inaccurate because of the grammar you used. That's all I said. I find your taking issue with the wording arbitrary. Scholars rarely assert what they disbelieve. Please word it as you like, but please make sure the statement is grammatically correct.JFHJr (㊟) 04:19, 18 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

You might also note the version before previous edit you mention was inaccurate for the same reason: "believed" ≠ "have believed." Likewise "asserted" ≠ "have asserted." The inaccuracy wasn't in the term used, and my use of "asserted" was arbitrary. JFHJr (㊟) 04:22, 18 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I appreciate your point of view, but you contradict with yourself. If scholars rarely assert something, as you say, then your change to the Georgian scholars asserting is in contradiction.

I would offer a compromise. Maybe I do not see many differences between "have believed" and "believed" because it's just a matter of tense and not the context and the idea, but I surely see in "believed" and "asserted". Let us keep the tense as you offer is correct and put similar wording in both those parts, whichever you would offer. Deal? Aregakn (talk) 12:38, 18 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

In general terms if it's public domain by default because of its age (which for the US, where WP's servers are, is 70 years after the author died) that means it's entirely free of copyright- you can use it commercially, make derivatives etc. If the image is on Commons, there's a tool there to help you upload a derivative of an existing image. Does that answer your question? If not, then a link to a specific file and what exactly you want to do with it would be helpful if possible. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:10, 20 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

You have entirely answered my question :). One more connected to it. If it is a historical map but difficult to read, can I just clear things up in it, and then, because it has to be referenced, mention the reference as that published map? WIll it be in accordance to all the rules? Here is the map [8]. Aregakn (talk) 23:16, 20 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

You can clean it up, but you should probably re-upload the retouched version as a separate file with a name like File:Roman Empire full map retouched.jpg. As to the second part of your question, what would you use it to reference? If it's something relatively uncontroversial that's clearly shown by the map it should be OK. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:53, 20 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Well, I'm very sure, that a historical map cannot be created just by 1 person for an Encyclopedic use and so it has to be in accordance to some sources. As I don't have certain programms, researches and mechanisms, I can just use this map in public domain, make it simple and reference to the source of the map, which will make it referenced to an academic, rather than self-made out in the air. Right? At any case, in Wiki rules Wikipedia:OI#Original_images it is said, that created images that are referenced only can be used. Otherwise it is an WP:OR. Still there is no way one can reference a histrical map, if not to a published. Otherwise, how can one create one out of texts? Aregakn (talk) 00:43, 21 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sorry for the delay- I got busy with boring admin stuff! If the image was published in a reliable source, then a derivative of it should be acceptable, but that's not really my area of expertise.

Democratic Republic of Armenia Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan

Hi, I was looking for some support, I'd like you to come check this out. I want to include a map of the first republic of Armenia (from 1918-1920). From 1918 to 1919, Armenia and Azerbaijan were at war. Borders were not set. Therefore, it's difficult to have a map that's accurate. I made a comprehensive map that shows all the territory that Armenia had stable control over (Yerevan, Kars, Sevan and Gyumri). The rest of the territory that Armenia claimed is separated into two parts. Regions that were mostly under Armenian control, and regions mostly under Azerbaijani control. These are territories that both Armenia and Azerbaijan claimed, and warred over, and the borders often changed. This includes Zangezur, Nakhichevan, Karabakh. My map is sourced by a non-Armenian source, and it even uses contemporary maps of the time to prove it. This site perfectly explains the situation of the time (non-Armenian source): http://conflicts.rem33.com/images/Armenia/disp.htm

A user named Neftchi continuously removes my map using the usual "Nakhchivan, Zangezur and Karabakh have always been Azerbaijani" rhetoric. But I have material to prove him wrong, therefore, I started a discussion on the article to argue about it. I presented all of my arguments, and he hasn't written a word to discuss with me. Instead, he just started an edit war with me, and when he realized I'm not giving up without an argument, he decided to put a map of Azerbaijan that includes ALL territories Azerbaijan claimed at the Paris Peace conference. That map is extremely inaccurate, as it completely ignores the territories Armenian militia controlled. Borders weren't recognized at the time, only the governments were, because Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan were all at war. Only proposals were made, and they were still being discussed when the Soviet Union conquered the Caucasus, and set the borders themselves. So I removed his map using the argument that it is biased, and that it ignores the Armenian side.

Please compare: I could have done like him and posted a map that includes all territories Armenia claimed, but that would have been biased. Instead, I posted a map that shows what each side controlled. At least my map doesn't assume that everything Armenia claimed actually belonged to Armenia. My map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:D_R_Armenia.png His map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Azerbaijan_Democratic_Republic_1918_20.png

Tell me which one is more objective? And he says my map is not sourced. He clearly hasn't read the "Source" of my map. Plus he doesn't even take the time to discuss, he just imposes his views without a single word of argument. Something must be done here. I don't mind making an objective map of Azerbaijan as well. But it would be good if it wasn't ignorant people with a political agenda, but those with an interest in historical facts to make the final decisions on what maps should be used.

Aregakn,

I have noticed this edit war which GeorgianJorjadze alleged you started in the edit summary, despite the fact he engaged in warring first. The user has a long history of such disruptive editing, hence why I've been monitoring things. Firstly, I've issued a final warning on the users talk page, although I know he will blank his page shortly in an attempt to "hide" warning notifications issued to him. Secondly, I have asked the user to engage in a dispute discussion on the article's talk page. If the user accepts, then that is good news. If not, then feel free to escalate matters further by means of ANI or whatever you deem appropriate. In the meantime, I shall continue to monitor proceedings. Regards - Wesley☀Mouse 23:04, 24 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi Wesley!! Long time we did not communicate :). Maybe I was away, that's why. I see you are still around, trying to make order...

Yes, thank you. I did make some explanations on his talk-page half an hour ago, that he already blanked. I also issued the second mild warning for vandalism, hoping he is constructive. But thank you for getting involved yourself too. Aregakn (talk) 23:12, 24 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

No worries. Like I said earlier, I have noticed the user going about similar "disruptiveness" before; and have been keeping an eagle eye ever since. I have posted some advice on the article's talk page, which may be worth reading. It does sound like WP:DRR is the only option left, and who knows, DRR may even help GeorgianJorJadze learn a few procedures along the way too. Wesley☀Mouse 23:17, 24 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yes, already have. Thanks Aregakn (talk) 23:25, 24 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

In knowledge that there is a vast amount of confusion surrounding content from a variety of reliable sources, in regards to "independence" matters between Georgian Orthodox Church and Armenian Apostolic Church. I hereby invite both GeorgianJorjadze (talk · contribs) and yourself to put forward your interpretations of what the reliable sources portray, along with any personal beliefs on the subject. Once you have both put forward your thesis on the subject, then we can look at the differences and similarities between both sides, and work towards a common ground that keeps everyone happy in the long-term. The discussion is taking place at Talk:Georgian Orthodox Church#GOC and AAC independence dispute resolution, where there is a heading Aregakn's thesis for you to write your statement.

Aregakn, do you know if that article (the one where you got the photo from: http://pandukht.livejournal.com/8959.html) is copied from another source, such as a book or newspaper report, or is it all a self-written blog? It seems to contains a lot of useful content that could be incorporated into the Wikipedia articles. Meowy 11:44, 14 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry, I'm not good in English. Azzi and Hayasa two different state. This was later merged with Hayasa-Azzi. Only certain languages in Azzi, Hayasa-Azzi, or Hayasa. These should not be mixed.

Aregakn,

Could you please remove the entire post from my talk page that you left. There is a big enough notice to show that I am grieving right now, after my mother passed away a few hours ago, and your post is enough to send me suicidal. I'm actually quite ashamed of your insensitivity there. I'm at the stage where I can;t sleep right now, as I am in shock, and all I want to do is just read and take my mind off things. Your post has just infuriated me, due to the bad timing. Thanks Wesley☀Mouse 02:04, 13 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hmm, although changed per your request on your talk-page (not allowed for other editors than you, but was your request), your fighter-conduct on the talk:Georgian Orthodox Church leave doubts you were serious about all this. Sorry mate Aregakn (talk) 03:52, 13 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Meowy, we all grieve differently, and as someone who has recently suffered the same pain as Mouse, I find your boorishness and insensitivity to be overwhelming. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 13:00, 14 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Wesley, you are coming over like some needy talent-show contestant, playing on a loss to gain points, posting here there and everywhere. You should be behaving in a more dignified manner. Maybe people just don't know how to deal with major emotions anymore and confound them with trivial things (like LC wrote "everybody's got this empty feeling, like their father or their dog just died"). This is an encyclopaedia, not a support group. Wesley, it is OK to be posting about trivial losses like a dog has died - but I don't think you should be demeaning a major event like the death of a family member by posting about it on Wikipedia in exchange for clipart flowers and condolences from people who have never met you or your mother. As for you, Mr Dennis Brown, I've never heard of you so why on earth do you think I care what you think! Meowy 14:37, 14 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Or, how about you let Wesley deal with it the way he wants to deal with it, and if it doesn't meet with your approval, just stay off his page? He "should" be acting in any way (within reason) that gets him through this; who are you to judge how he chooses to cope? I have to echo Dennis Brown here; the callousness in your posts is really just astounding. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 14:53, 14 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

I'm not on his page! And we are all on some other person's talk page, so I am stopping this now by not replying to further comments or making any more of my own. Meowy 15:49, 14 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Something is wrong here, folks. DIdn't want to tell this but seeing this discussion cannot stay away.

First of all, wiki is not a space to come and pour your frustration or grieving out on others or on articles, which in my opinion took place. We are here to contribute to the information and there is no rule or requirement to bind our activities to a limit requested by a member.

Secondly, when people have a tragedy, they are even sent home from work and it is seen as normal. This also implies the remark I notices on the talk-page (thought a bit late). So it is natural to think that the editor might be away or not want to strike all around.

Thirdly, I don't think speaking like "I am so ashamed of you..." etc. is proper here. Nobody gave another editor the right to judge my moral and personality and it is even count as an attack on an editor. I think not reading the upper part of the talkpage of a user each time you open it, if you have been opening it several times recently, is quite normal and expected. This kind of judgemental attack on moral to an action usual for WP (posting a message about a dispute) and a request to delete a message from his own talkpage, when he can do it himself, is a show to drag into a feeling of guilt.

Moreover, the wording "...and your post is enough to send me suicidal"... Heh?!?? Can anybody explain the goal of this sentence?

And right after this he is involving himself in an off-topic, unproductive accusations and attacks on the talkpage of Georgian Orthodox Church on Meowy. My message was telling he had disrupting and unproductive participation on that topic which he confirmed once again with his actions.

Sorry folks. No way the psychological condition can justify this continuous disruption of the work of part of the community and if you track the above story, you would probably agree.

The only reason I did not comment it this way was the sympathy for the tragedy of a person. Still this cannot continue. Aregakn (talk) 22:14, 15 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

OK you have a lot of questions/observations there, so I shall answer each of them individually.

Firstly, nobody can predict when something as serious as a death will/when occur. Anybody can be anywhere when such an event happens; and as anyone would do naturally, they'd want to explain to people before they suddenly rush off. If a person was at work when they received such tragic news they wouldn't just walk out of the building would they? No, they would explain to one or more people and then leave work. That is exactly what happened here - I was in mid-conversation with a multitude of editors on here, and during that I received the news.

Secondly, so people didn't think I was being ignorant in leaving the conversation abruptly, I felt it appropriate to notify them why I was leaving. What those people did after that was their choice - and in a mark of respect they felt it courteous to leave messages of condolence on my page - that again was their choice - I didn't hound them or chase around everywhere to force people to leave comments.

Thirdly, telling someone that they are "ashamed of something" is perfectly reasonable of anyone who went through this situation. What if it was you, and I went and posted something on your wall like you did on mine - you would have probably done the same - it is called human nature Aregakn, everyone reacts to tragic news in different ways - we are not all the same. It is not a personal attack, and as has been pointed out by editors, it is by no means disruptive either, and perfectly within scope of how anyone would behave in such circumstances. May I ask, have you been through the situation of losing a parent? If you have, then you'd understand where I am coming from.

Fourthly, you request an explanation of the wording "...and your post is enough to send me suicidal". Your comment that you posted before you knew about what had happened did distress me, quite natural really. Seeing as I was feeling very delicate under circumstance, for me to see such a harsh comment, did make me feel even lower. But like I said, unless you've been through the same situation, then you'd probably not understand.

Fifthly, the comments and my behaviour on Talk:Georgian Orthodox Church happened before I received the news about my mother. If you look at the time frame of events, the conversation was in mid-flow; and then there was a 20-minute gap - it was in that 20 minutes that I received the news. From that moment on, my tone completely changed, I was in a huge state of confusion, something which happens to people in a state of shock. In fact with me saying shock, I have just hit the nail on the head - shock causes anyone to react differently - that's what makes us human - we all react differently - some are more strong-minded than others. You might well be able to cope with these types of situations better than I - but as I grew up with only one parent, then naturally I was close to my mother, and the sudden loss of her catapulted me into major-shock.

I asked you to remove your post from my page, as that would be the noble thing for anyone to do. Sure, I could have removed it myself, but as you posted it, it was more courteous for you to remove it. And I did appreciate the fact that you removed it too, and I still do appreciate that. Wesley☀Mouse 22:35, 15 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Aregakn, wesleymouse has been trying to get you blocked for your above post. I think the solution for the future is to have absolutely no interaction with this editor. That is what I am going to do. I think he likes attention, and if we withhold it he will return to the range of articles he usually edits and there will be less drama. So let's never mention him again. Meowy 11:37, 16 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

• Meowy, I want to be quite clear about this; regardless that I think that Wesley does not act proper towards fellow-editors and that he is quite keen, as I see now from his actions, to use all means to get some, he has personal problems with, out of his way or maybe even shops for that, regardless that I still think he was not always constructive in article discussion of GOC etc. I agree that, even if speaking your mind, your wording could heart Wesley a lot. If I was there, I'd be really hurt too. You too, I'm sure, and you know that. Assuming the event has taken place I'd really try not to do smth that could possibly hurt him deep.

The way he reacted is also perceived by me as the result of pain, be it against me or you. I'd not justify it by that but please, try to be more sympathetic and patient in this case. From your own experience, I am sure, you know it does good too.

Now let me see some threads I had to follow up and see if I am not late for it yet. Aregakn (talk) 10:26, 19 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

I am not asking of any clarifications from you of ur hatred but telling to in a friendly way to consider giving up the articles with subjects involving those nationalities and ethnicities you said you hate as it is most inconstructive.

I learned hate from dealing with the articles, not the other way around. Your request for me to leave the articles more than the extent I have already left them is denied. I point out that I have not directly accused you of a bias, but you have accused me ("This is 100% prove of you pushing points" What points am I pushing?), yet for some reason have decided to play coy with it and not say it out loud.

You dont know another Patrick in Glendale that is really into Armenian history and culture now do you? So you know who I am. I also watched Hovik Nersessian (Armenian historian) from Vartanank, Aravot, and Hye Toon shows few years ago. 75.51.161.146 (talk) 03:51, 4 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ok, so you are not the person I thought you were? By the way I didnt message other Armenian users on Wikipedia, just so you know. I only figured you were the person I was thinking you were? So you are not born that date i gave you above? Right?

By the way I did email the person back, asking him whether he was the user Aregakn or not. He hasnt replied yet to my email, and I do need to really talk to you if you are really the person I think you are, and whether you watched those videos i sent you.

To make another point, the way you have discussed in the talk pages sounds very similar if not exactly the person I know of. Also the timing you chose to discuss in talk page of the Georgian Church article, April 23, was a very familiar date that is strongly linked with you.

So please if you are the person I think you are, please reply to my email? I want to talk to you again. Thanks. We have ignored each other for too long, now would be a good time to talk to each other again. 75.51.161.146 (talk) 21:39, 6 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

First of all pay attention on what I already said. I do not understand what you are talking about at all. I don't understand why you are continuing this ununderstandable topic.

Can you help me out regarding some issue I have with the user who goes by the name KentronHayastan (Heart of Armenia). As you know anyone can pick a nice looking Armenian name and pretend they are doing good to the articles. But, if you watch his edits carefully, he is in fact a POV agenda guy probably working for Turks and Azeri Turks here in Wikipedia. Please look at the following I mentioned to him regarding the Template:History of Armenia:

Please do me a favor? Will you look here please --> History of Iran. Do you see the template and the "ANCIENT" part on top? Do you see it begins with 3200 BC? If as you know Persians dont exist in 3200 BC, and they have "ANCIENT" mentioned there, than we can have "ANCIENT" mentioned there also. By the way, I didnt even notice the History of Iran template at that time I put the same word, later I checked and noticed it says the same word up there in the 3200 BC etc etc time.

You see, he is trying to not have Ancient to be mentioned there , where clearly Persians didnt exist in Proto-Elamite period of the 3200 BC mentioning of Ancient, instead of the word Prehistory. He is putting "Ancient Armenia" from the time the Kingdom of Armenia (Antiquity) begins , and nothing earlier than that. I put Ancient in the time where it begins with Hayk 3rd millenium BC, as I mentioned above regarding Iran's history Ancient mentioned there. But, he reverts this and puts "Prehistory". The fact he is so against the use of the word Ancient, and me knowing that it should say Ancient, proves he is not true for correcting Armenian history. He is also changing how the template use to be like, as in the info not the style. He is not even wanting the word "Kingdom" to be mentioned in the Antiquity time. Also, if you go to Wikipedia's Armenian Empire, it takes you to the antiquity Kingdom of Armenia. But this guy tells me its wrong to put the Kingdom of Armenia in the template where it should be properly put. And another point, if you notice the Armenian Empire page, and Bagratuni kingdom, and just about any article you can find on Armenian history, where the language was always "Armenian", he starts to put all the other languages next to it, and even putting other religions, in a time where other religions didnt dominate Armenia. He is putting anything that is POV pushing and puts "foreign ruling" peoples in the main Armenian kingdom articles. So if you can, please help to revert back to the original stable version of the articles? Thank you. 75.51.164.190 (talk) 01:51, 10 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

He even tries to change Orontid Dynasty Satrapy of Armenia to Proto-Armenian language. When this is cleary never has been Proto-Armenian, and was always mentioned there Armenian. He is trying to argue that during the Armenian Kingdom of antiquity it was Classical Armenian or Proto-Armenian, but the fact is, it was always mentioning of Armenian, and not the other new additions he recently is trying to change the stable articles. I told him its not needed to specify the Armenian categories of language, the history is all covered in the Armenian language page already, so when we say "Armenian", it means any of the ancient Armenian forms etc. Please check this guys edits, as I dont have an account now it the locked articles to revert his new additions of POV pushing the Armenian history , language, culture etc. 75.51.164.190 (talk) 02:01, 10 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Look mate, I don't know if you know the rules of wikipedia but it is the wrong manner to approach the contribution. It shall not be appreciated by long-time-editors. None of us. A more constructive and thoughtful approach is needed. You better come into light, so to say, registering a user and start calmly following how others act. Be patient, never go into warring or quarrelling, attacking etc. When you are ready let me know. And for your info, you have no right to gather editors to push something in an article especially when it comes to voting.

This user who goes by the name of Kentronhayastan [11], Ive noticed his edits for a while now, and they are not exactly describing who he really is. I mean to clarify to you, what im saying is if you notice his edits on the Armenian articles, he pretends he is doing good to the Armenian history, but in fact, he is corrupting it in a clever way. He is an imposter actually. I noticed for example he added a whole bunch of foreign languages to all the articles on our history, and someone else did a good job of reverting those. He basically is POV pushing just about any time in our history articles of foreign rule. He tried to put Islam in all the history articles, hah, and included like 10 other languages, where it says languages. The person that reverted him did a good job and restored the native language Armenian to be the only main language of those times. Specially the Kingdoms of Armenia , whether they were Ancient, or the Modern kingdoms like Bagratuni, and the Antiquity. He also had purposely removed the Marzpanate Mamikonian period, and the other person asked him to restore it back. Also if you can help out please restore back where it says "Armenia Major" in the Antiquity, to "Kingdom of Armenia", this is what it said earlier and this guy Kentronhayastan reverted it back to Armenia Major. Its suppose to say Kingdom of Armenia, because the only Kingdom of Armenia mentioned first is in the Middle Ages. Its showing that there was no Kingdom of Armenia in ancient times? If you notice he recently also changed Commagene to "Kingdom of Commagene", but didnt change Armenia Major to "Kingdom of Armenia". Please put back the name "Kingdom of Armenia", in our antiquity. Thank you. And if you can also remove Armeno-Phrygian from the History template also, because that was never there, and this imposter which im suspicious of is trying to ruin our history. Also he tried to change the language of the Orontid period, by saying it was Proto-Armenian, it was never Proto-Armenian, and everyone excepts that that was earlier than that time. 66.81.159.105 (talk) 07:11, 15 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Also he is the one that made the new image for the Template [12], the one with the Armenian eternity symbol and Mount Ararat with Khor Virap there in that image on the Template History of Armenia. It use to be the Coat of Arms of Armenia, but now he put this new one which is good. But he wants to restore back the Coat of Arms, when he himself made this new image. He is purposely doing this just to ruin Armenian history and culture. Please vote to keep the new image of eternity symbol and Ararat , instead of the Coat of Arms, which is only about the Modern history. This image is better cause its about all the History etc etc. So when he puts, of if he puts a vote, please vote for the current image on the template.

Here is the discussion regarding Hayk/Orion, hope you can help out also if needed. Thanks. "The previous person with the 166.x.x.x is not me. He readded the correct information, by the way which was already there a long time before Ian.Thomson removed it 2 days ago. I was adding info to the Hayk article, what was "already" here a long time ago in the Orion constellation article. It is a fact, in the Armenian pantheon there were more than one god worshipped as a Sun god. Ian.thomson is not an expert on Armenian mythologies and Armenian astronomical knowledge. At different periods of Armenian history, it was a different god worshipped as a Sun god. Also at different locations of the Sun's path, was still referred to as a Sun god. As I mentioned to him earlier when Orion rises with the Sun in the East, this Sun god is Hayk/Orion, which is also known as the "Heliacal Rising" of Orion, which is mentioned in Hyeetch's site [13] of the Solar Calendar of Hayk/Orion of the Armenians. The other Sun god is when the Sun is at the Highest place in heaven, that was also worshipped as a Sun god under a different gods name, not the Hayk/Orion god and star(s). The astronomical side of this is that Orion aligns with the Sun once a year, where Orion's arm is located, the Sun passes it, and thats where the ancients coined the term "Solar Hero" Orion. Also check the Orion (mythology), page. Orion is associated and in conjunction with the rising Sun. He is also mentioned there as the example of the Solar Hero.

Ok, it doesnt matter if you are that person, what matters is you have the same interests as me. I had asked you if you can do me a favor and revert Armeno-Phyrgians from the History of Armenia template, which was never there. If you noticed it was put there just 2 weeks ago for the new template style. I asked user Moosh88 to revert, and he did, but forgot to give the reasons. So can you please remove it from the template? I cant, cause i have been blocked, and this isnt even my IP, im at a cousins house with cellphone etc etc. Thanks for your help. 166.216.226.192 (talk) 06:35, 27 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Mannnnnn!!! WHy don't you understand? IT IS PROHIBITED TO ACT LIKE YOU ARE ACTING. YOU CANNOT CALL OTHER USERS TO ACT ON YOUR BEHALF. YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR POLICIES TO GET REAL COOPERATION IN BRINGING INFORMATION TO OUR READERS. STOP ASKING TO DO THINGS. THIS IS WRONG. GET A PROPER REGISTERED ID AND START LEARNING HOW TO WORK IN WIKIPEDIA LITTLE BY LITTLE. Aregakn (talk) 21:26, 28 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
