Dear 1AmNobody24, as per our previous talks, the issue is the removal of the entire section on 'Works' from the WIKI entry on Seta Dadoyan, an "Armenian historian, scholar..." The reason was explained as the section being too long. I totally understand the concern, and it is absolutely legitimate. As discussed, I sent you a very abbreviated one page of all published works, books and few articles, with the expectation that we would pursue the effort to restore my 'works'.
The entry on Seta Dadoyan still stands mutilated, a scholar, and a prominent one at that - with 13 major books and dozens of articles - also a painter, seems strange.
The object is now to find a way to restore the article with a brief section on my "works'. Since all the items there are published by major publishers, there can be no issue of so-called "sources." I will send that page to you anytime.
Also, while we are in this subject, and I greatly appreciate your professionalism about these matters, there are other missing matters in the entire entry, I have no idea who the author is. I suppose WIKI is precisely the venue to highlight the specifities of any subject/episode/person. How do you deal with these matters?
I very much look forward to hearing from you, a very incomplete entry on Seta Dadoyan should not persist long.
Many thanks,

Hi Seta dadoyan, the best point to start would be to create a complete list of works in your sandbox, sorting it by type (book (book series), articles). After that we take a look which ones can be considered the most notable ones. Since you know considerably more about Seta Dadoyan then I do, it makes sense for you to do this part alone and I then help on the second part of figuring out the notability. Nobody (talk) 15:28, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello, 1Nobody 24, I just want to make sure that as per your advice, this morning NY time 12:00, I did send you a complete list of publications in Word and PDF versions (even though the PDF in turn looked like Word in the sandbox. This is for you to kindly "figure out the notablility." I will ask you to please share your edition, if you see it appropriate.
Please confirm receipt of the material sent about 8 hours ago, and if it came through in good form. I may send the material as attachment, if you wish to provide an address.
Many thanks! Seta dadoyan (talk) 23:49, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi Seta, I've moved the list to your sandbox and started to improve it's layout, feel free to take a look there. It might take some time until I'm finished with it since I currently don't have much time to edit due to IRL responsibilities, but I'll do my best. Nobody (talk) 05:23, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi 1AmNobody24,
So nice of you to follow up this matter! We are on track, thank you. I just had a look at the sandbox.
Looking forward to finally having a decent entry worthy of WIKIPEDIA.
Best,

Hi 1AmNobody24,
It has been a while to our last conversation (July 25), I was going through a serious life threatening health crisis, that ended in major surgery two weeks ago. I am returning to normalcy, and thought again of my mutilated and partial WIKI entry. Surely you were very kind to begin work on the "Works" part. What shows in the entry is still remotely representative of the bare facts about me, I don't even know who wrote that piece, probably an average, not too informed individual. Anyway, compared to colleagues' entries, mine was has always been the most primitive. When I tried to suggest a full bibliography, I was severely punished ...
I was thinking: may be it is time for an overall review and makeover. What makes me a most frequented and quoted authority is the total novelty of my historiography, aesthetics, and Near Eastern also interactive Armenian studies. These aspects have been absent from the beginning.
I suppose in view of this situation, and in all fairness, WIKIPEDIA could reconsider this fact. AS a WIKI editor, you may want to rewrite the entry, of course after being provided with all the necessary sources in support. I believe that just making a selection of the existing "works" -13 of which are scholarly volumes - will not improve the entry as it should. If you have other alternatives for coming up with a representative and informative entry, please let me know. I very much look forward to having your response, and thanks in advance.
Best,

Hi Seta good to hear your doing alright. I understand that it can be frustrating if the article of you isn't up to par with your peers. But sadly that happens a lot as people write mostly about things they're knowledegable about and I'm not sure if there's an active wikipedian working on armenian historians. And while I understand that this might be a time-sensitive issue for you, but others might not see it that way. I'll keep the article on my watchlist and maybe I'll get time to look into it, but it's not my area of expertise so no promises. Nobody (talk) 06:38, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
Thanks, and yes, I can see the complexity of the situation. Can you suggest someone or a "body" whose area of expertise it is to write an entry? I would appreciate your assistance. In the meantime, I look forward to having a section on WORKS at least.
Best,

I haven't seen/found someone that fits that description, but I'll keep looking. Nobody (talk) 05:16, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
Thanks, 1AmNobody24, I can see that things seem to be on a slow track, but this is life! The only and simple way out is probably to just add the list of my "Books", and leave the rest of the missing and/or important subjects for later. For easy access and to make things easy for you - and I appreciate your disposition, really - I am sending the list below:

How do I creat my own post --02 Musiq (talk) 14:44, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Hi 02 Musiq, If you mean create a new article, then you can look at Help:Your first article. Nobody (talk) 06:02, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Hello. Is there a way to just point something out without actually modifying an article? I don't have all the facts of something I read here but I do see some informaton missing. --AtticExplorer (talk) 14:55, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Hi AtticExplorer there are a few ways to point out missing things. Easiest is probably to leave a message on the articles talk page. Nobody (talk) 05:35, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

How do I create a new article? --Lexton Nura (talk) 18:30, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
why did you delete my user page? It says limited biographical information is allowed and I wrote what I did to establish myself as someone educated in these topics. --Hypnosef (talk) 23:14, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
Hi Hypnosef, I nominated your userpage for deletion per WP:FAKEARTICLE, see WP:UPYES/WP:UPNO for what is allowed on the user page. It's true that limited biographical information is allowed, but it can't look like an article. Nobody (talk) 05:55, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
Ohhh, I understand. I made that as practice for making articles, didn't realize that was the source of the issue. No worries! Hypnosef (talk) 22:54, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
