This board is for the announcements other than new article announcements that go to Portal:Armenia/New article announcements and the announcements about the WP:DYK articles that should go to Portal:Armenia/Did you know.

The Portal's own talk page should be used to discuss the portal itself. This page would be for announcements to call attention to any Armenia-related Wiki matters.

Urgent announcements

  • Do you care that wikipedia should be carefully balanced and well resourced? Do you agree that it should be free of politics and original research. Do you want all of the other language wikis not to have any bias to them.
  • Then you can help by ending a wikicircus called Siberian language wiki. Not only is the language original research, that was synthetically developed by LiveJournal people, but its supporters use it as a political platform [1], [2] or complete disregard to other topics [3] [4].
  • Even more amazing is that its founder, the same person who invented it, takes no shame in using offensive terminology like "moscals" in reference to other users. I think the message is clear: Meta:Proposals for closing projects/Close Siberian wikipedia. Don't forget to register an account on Meta with iterwiki link to your standard one before you vote. --Kuban Cossack 14:08, 12 November 2006 (UTC)


Please place new notices at the top of the list and not at the bottom.

Notices retrieved from WP:AM

  • List of Armenian given names is up for deletion, we need to preserve it. Fedayee 23:09, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I've uploaded photos of demonstrations in Yerevan in the June 1988. Yow can use them. --FHen(ru) 18:41, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • The DYK section featured on the main page is always looking for interesting new and recently expanded stubs from different parts of the world. Please make a suggestion.--Peta 02:10, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Is there anybody out there who can help me get undeniably npov sources for the article Maraghar Massacre? I've done the best I could with the material I found, but unfortunately the only sources I could provide are rather contentious. -- Augustgrahl 20:38, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
  • My dear Armenian colleagues, as you might be aware there are thousands of images on wikipedia published in the USSR and because of an action of one person now their future status is under question. Please read this RfC and help to endorse it. --Kuban Cossack 12:59, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
  • This needs to be looked at as well: Armenian notables deported from the Ottoman capital in 1915--Eupator 19:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
  • I've decided to revamp our WikiProject a bit. I also removed Eupator's comment here in favor of a section below which indicates Armenian-related topics that come under constant vandalism without citing any specific users. -- Clevelander 12:27, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Under our "Tasks" table, there is a new section dedicated to the recently created World War I-related Armenian articles that are either unsourced, written from biased POV, need some serious clean-up, or need to be expanded. We need to work together on these articles and make sure that they're done right and accurately. I also highly recommend that you put these articles on your watchlist to prevent any vandalism. I also recommend adopting an article or collaborating with someone to make one of these better. The following articles need considerable attention as well: Mehmed Talat Pasha, Ahmed Djemal, Drastamat Kanayan, Democratic Republic of Armenia, Hamidian massacres, Wilsonian Armenia, and Treaty of Kars. Kenats't, Clevelander 20:45, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  • WikiProject Central Asia has just been created. If any editors here are interested, come on over. Aelfthrytha 21:17, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • The article Van Resistance has a redirect under "Armenian Revolution", which is not the normal term for it. The whole thing looks like an attempt by a Turk to paint a picture of a massive Armenian revolt in Anatolia. My internet here in Yerevan sucks, so someone please go to all the pages that | link directly to Armenian Revolution, and either change the link to Van Resistance, or simply remove it if it doesn't really belong there (the author of the article seems to have linked to it from anywhere he could stick it). And that having been said, the Van Resistance page needs serious work! --RaffiKojian 04:36, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Taken care of. -- Clevelander 23:09, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
  • You guys may want to check this out: March Days. -- Clevelander 22:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
  • As the November election in California draws near, there is a bit of vandalism and POV-pushing beginning on Charles Poochigian's article, the Fresno senator who is running for Attorney General. I'm adding it to the list of articles for protection as well; try to keep an eye out (or even flesh out the article some more, too). --DanielNuyu 08:45, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
