[edit] Lake Sevan

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)

[edit] WikiProject Azeri

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

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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 Wikipedia 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)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query 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)

[edit] 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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia. 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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 Wikipedia. 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)
