[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)

No problem! —Khoikhoi 03:13, 16 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)

[edit] 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: [1] Grandmaster 10:34, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

You have made impressive contribution to Azerbaijan related articles. You may wish to join Wikipedia: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)

[edit] 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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia 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.

[edit] 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). Khoikhoi 06:31, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mediation

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party.

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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

A Request for Mediation to which you are a party was not accepted and has been delisted. You can find more information on the mediation subpage, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Paytakaran.

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] Blocked

You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three-revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future.

--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)

[edit] 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 Talk!! 19:26, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Footnote number 9 covers it just fine, explaining the situation in detail. As for other Armenians, lets be serious. There are some Azeris in Armenia as well (one is a prominent soccer coach), adding Ethnic groups in Armenia to the Azeris article would just be silly.-- Ευπάτωρ Talk!! 20:15, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Ok, there's just now way we can have that category, the one or two Armenians in Azerbaijan can't justify that. As for NK Armenians, I can't speak for others but I wouldn't mind adding "de jure in Azerbaijan" or something in the footnote.-- Ευπάτωρ Talk!! 20:48, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
I don't really need to, I have said more than enough actually. You need to explain why that category is absolutely necessary. Since that is meant to cover Armenians in NK it's obviously pov, and categories cannot be accompanied by footnotes in order to make them neutral, thus it should not be added altogether. Someone might see that category by quickly scrolling without knowing anything about NK or its current status.-- Ευπάτωρ Talk!! 21:19, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arbitration

I have opened an arbitration case regarding the current editing dispute you've been involved in. Please make a statement at Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#Armenia-Azerbaijan concerning the conflict with the other parties listed. Thanks. Dmcdevit·t 10:26, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan

Hello,

An Arbitration case involving you has been opened: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan. Please add any evidence you may wish the arbitrators to consider to the evidence sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan/Evidence. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan/Workshop.

[edit] McCarthy

He seems too controversial to use as a source. It would be like using Srđa Trifković, wouldn't it? I have no problem with using the Russian source you cited, as long as it is attributed properly. What does it say specifically? I cannot read or write Russian. Khoikhoi 08:55, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notice of Arbitration Committee injunction

The Arbitration Committee has adopted a temporary injunction in the case of Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan, in which you have been named as a party. The injunction provides: Until the conclusion of this case, all parties are restricted to one content revert per article per day, and each content revert must be accompanied by a justification on the relevant talk page. Violators may be blocked for up to 24 hours. The case remains open for the submission of evidence or proposals. This notice is given by a Clerk on behalf of the Arbitration Committee.

[edit] Images at Wikiopedia

hi, Parishan, thanks for uploading photo to Topchubashev. but can I ask a favour? can you also help to upload a picture to rasulzade article? of course i have many photos of him, of different ages and of different times, but I cannot upload any of them because i do not know how and the issues of copyright, which I just can't understand? if you want i can email some pictures to you or... how to do? please leave a note on my talk page. Elsanaturk 22:05, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:

I restored the link to the Blue Mosque article. I will however not restore the link to the Erivan khanate article as it has more to do with Persian rule over Armenia than the status of Azeris under Armenian rule. -- Aivazovsky 01:20, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Azeris in Turkey

Hey Parishan. If you look at Khojaly Massacre for example, even statements that use neutral, third-party sources use the "according to XYZ" method. I think this actually goes in according to WP:NPOV more. However, I will ask other people's opinion on this matter, and hopefully we can come to a compromise. Regards, Khoikhoi 04:05, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Armenian articles and Aivazovsky

Yesterday while on recent changes patrol I noticed some changes that Aivazovsky had made and reverted them. I left him a message stating why I had reverted his edits. He replied to me with a message asking me to stop interfering. He then archived his talk page and "lost" my messages to him in the process. For that reason I have included my messages to him on my talk page.

I see that again today he is reverting your edits and labeling them as vandalism.

It has reached the point where I am considering reporting him for disruptive editing, but considering that he has agreed to arbitration (so he states) I am not sure that I should proceed. In your opinion, should I hold back on reporting his disruptive edit patterns and allow the arbitration to run its course? Regards LittleOldMe 10:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Azerbaijan PM and President Templates

Hi. I don't want a revert war; I've explained my position in the edit summaries. I can explain at greater length, but let's debate before mindlessly promoting our own versions. Biruitorul 08:28, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

To be perfectly honest, I'm not an expert on the subject. However, wasn't the Russian republic also called the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic? Wasn't the TSFSR analogous? Are you saying that the Azerbaijani, Georgian and Armenian SSRs remained SSRs? Wouldn't they have been ASSRs? Or else what was the point of the TSFSR? Surely it matters that they were part of it, and it wouldn't hurt to indicate that. Biruitorul 06:50, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three-revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future.

Hi, was the Batum region of the Russian Empire a Governate or an Oblast? Thanks! -- Aivazovsky 22:33, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 29 March 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Javad Malik-Yeganov, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

You're right this is no more than a little misunderstanding. Artaxiad nominated this entry, but forgot to credit you with its creation and at DYK we generally assume that unless something else is explicitly mentioned the nominator is also the creator of th article.--Carabinieri 08:17, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
