[edit] Copyvio

Source is armeniapedia.org - not really a problem, as it's editor is likely to make it PD upon request (example). However, armeniapedia.org contains this at the bottom of the page: "This article contains text from a source with a copyright" followed by detailing blurb. --tickle me 03:37, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

What are you talking about, Taner Akcam is Turkish, he has nothing to do with ArmeniaPedia, so why would you take their source? That would just be biased. Executex 23:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arrest in Canada

I first heard of this person yesterday when I read in the Minneapolis StarTribune that he had been arrested in Canada because of allegations of terrorism found in a Wikipedia article (this one?). Michael Hardy 01:06, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

It's possibly a rumor, plus it says Wikipedia it doesn't say English or Turkish. Artaxiad 01:11, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

It must have been this one; Canadian security agents would normally understand French and/or English. -- Davo88 18:13, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Well there's nothing here obviously, this isn't the first time, others have accused him of terrorism they were Turkish nationalists who hate Taner for recognizing the genocide, it may have been in Turkish and they reported it there, who knows. If you go to the Turkish one theres alot of anon attacks or activity. Artaxiad 05:23, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wow

Can someone please explain to me why this page remained blanked for 3 days? Khoikhoi 03:39, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Technically, it wasn't blank :) but anyway you are right, someone should have noticed it. deniz 05:28, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Detention in Montreal

Is the information that his detention was because of edits on this article on Wikipedia linking him with terrorism relevent to be added? Fad (ix) 14:24, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
