Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Pointy AFD nomination of Western Azerbaijan regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The discussion is about the topic Western Azerbaijan. Thank you. Strange Passerby (talk • c • status) 08:37, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
...the IP may be right in this case. How can 5,000,000 Armenians be living in Russia? That seem grossly exagerrated. As for the other stats, I agree with you, we need a WP:RS for stats and information. 13.6 million Armenians seems a bit farfetched and the fact that there's no source makes it even more dubious. Étienne Dolet (talk) 01:49, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Ninetoyadome,
I'm inviting you to discuss a dispute I had with an IP user on Kingdom of Armenia (antiquity). If you look at the bottom of its talk page (sections "Edit Warring on Dates and Van as capital" and "Protected edit request on 10 May 2014"), you will see a discussion. You can decide which side to choose (I am not inviting you to choose my side), but I would like the issue to be resolved. I have stated my arguments there and the IP has not responded to any of them. It led to an edit war, after which I requested a semi-protection to protect the article from being edited by IPs, but an administrator placed a full-protection instead and the IP's edits remain. The administrators are not familiar with the story of the Kingdom, and in an understandable attempt to be neutral, have not accepted my request to undo the IP's edits. Of course, I believe I am right, but if you believe the IP was correct, please mention it in the Talk page so that we can rewrite the article accordingly (as it stands, the article is inconsistent because it treats the Satrapy of Armenia as a separate state, yet the infobox dates include it in its timeframe). Thank you. Kentronhayastan (talk) 20:59, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Please don't revert Gegharkunik Province, Kapan or other articles as it is poorly cited per Wikipedia:Cleanup. You can improve article, by adding relavant references.--Janavar (talk) 20:27, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
Sorry for marking the link as dead. It gave me a 404 error when I clicked on it the first time. I tried it just now and it worked. Thank you for catching my mistake. -- Kndimov (talk) 21:40, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
Please, don't flood external news in Khojaly Massacre article. If you think, the point is relevant, feel free to edit Akrim Aylisli page and write there anything u want.--Yacatisma (talk) 14:13, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
I missed this - you reverted twice on this in May, breaking your one revert per week per article. I won't block now but you must not do this again. Dougweller (talk) 16:36, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi, would you be willing to withdraw the AfD for the Topkhana forest (Nagorno-Karabakh) article? I have made a lot of edits to it and I think most of the problems with it are now gone. The only big remaining issue might be the article title, but that is not an AfD thing. You have not fully initiated the AfD anyway, it does not appear on the Articles for Deletion page yet.

I've given him a 3RR warning. You are at 3RR also. Why not start a discussion on the talk page? Dougweller (talk) 21:40, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I'd like to know why you reverted my edit to Armenian Highlands? The article stated (and you have returned it to stating) that Mount Ararat is in Ararat Province, Armenia, but it is, according to the page on Mount Ararat, in Argi Province, Turkey. I'm not going to rerevert it right know because I don't want an edit war, but the edit I made was clearly correct. What is your response to this? Liam987(talk) 03:03, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello. I would like to know why you keep reverting my edits to President of Armenia article? I have listed all the sources and have made correct references. The information is valid and has been approved by the office of the President of Armenia. There is NO copy-past there, except for the hystory of the Presidential Palace, which is taken from the official website of the President of RA and has been referenced too. Could you please stop reverting it and/or tell me which parts, in your opinion, need change? --Iren Vincent (talk) 11:27, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
The discussion has been over for a week. The user has been topic banned and the rest of the participants of the discussion seem to agree that the template does belong in the article. If you indeed care about the article and not about removing references to Azerbaijan, then you should have at least left a word on the talkpage. You only did so after you were warned of being reported. Until then, your contribution to the article consisted of nothing but reverts, and that is considered edit warring. Parishan (talk) 20:55, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
Please provide your opinion. The discussion is here. --92slim (talk) 22:48, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello,
Please be aware of this report. Parishan (talk) 01:35, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}
. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. Zad68

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted a procedure instructing administrators as follows: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

All the IPs are from the Fars Province University Of Medical Science And Health Care Services. Probably the same person. Too sporadic to do anything. Doug Weller (talk) 12:38, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
Hello Ninetoyadome,
I noticed we often have the same article/subject interest, and the same stance on numerous articles (at least when I see on my whatchlist what you revert), and because of that, I would like to ask whether you could leave a comment here. It's regarding the same issues you had yourself at articles such as Baku khanate quite recently, and such.

Just because you have a vendetta for Armenians/Armenia, that doesn't give you the right to edit articles incorrectly to make them more "Turkish" related. The tsiranapogh is an undisputed ancient Armenian instrument. It's recognized by UNSCO. If you keep reverting I will file warnings, then request moderation.
Not sure why you deleted this, but I brought it back. Please, let's discuss the changes. Let me know why a world-recognized Armenian instrument should not have the proper Armenian name used.

What an amazing troll. - LouisAragon (talk) 02:23, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
Ever seen this "article"? I did some brief research, with help from Doug Weller, and it seems as if the entire article is in fact a hoax. There was never such a thing as a "Kurakchay Treaty", and only some Azerbaijan state-published websites and books make mention of it. I recently got my hand on all other titles used in the article, at least those who are RS (Mostashari, Bournoutian) and neither do they make any mention of a specific treaty with such a name. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:41, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Ismail I. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. MPS1992 (talk) 19:40, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello, You left a message on my talk page where you seemed frustrated about something, I did indeed undo your revert because what you had done was remove sourced content without discussion. This is considered vandalism. I suggest you read this Wikipedia:Vandalism before making any more edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aghburik (talk • contribs) 12:35, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
Noticed alot of incorrect stuff and hoaxes in this article. Rewrote the most important parts and added proper sources written by historians. Anyhow, I believe the same incorrect material had been copy-pasted into other articles as well, so we should keep an eye out. Just thought of giving you a heads up, as you often deal with similar things. All the best, - LouisAragon (talk) 16:57, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Given your area of conduct, I thought you might be interested in this material from Bournoutian's new book. Sorry in advance if you think I cluttered your talk page!
Bournoutian, George A. (2016). The 1820 Russian Survey of the Khanate of Shirvan: A Primary Source on the Demography and Economy of an Iranian Province prior to its Annexation by Russia. Gibb Memorial Trust.;
p. xvi
"As noted, in order to construct an Azerbaijani national history and identity based on the territorial definition of a nation, as well as to reduce the influence of Islam and Iran, the Azeri nationalists, prompted by Moscow devised an "Azeri" alphabet, which replaced the Arabo-Persian script. In the 1930s a number of Soviet historians, including the prominent Russian Orientalist, Ilya Petrushevskii, were instructed by the Kremlin to accept the totally unsubstantiated notion that the territory of the former Iranian khanates (except Yerevan, which had become Soviet Armenia) was part of an Azerbaijani nation. Petrushevskii's two important studies dealing with the South Caucasus, therefore, use the term Azerbaijan and Azerbaijani in his works on the history of the region from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. Other Russian academics went even further and claimed that an Azeri nation had existed from ancient times and had continued to the present. Since all the Russian surveys and almost all nineteenth-century Russian primary sources referred to the Muslims who resided in the South Caucasus as "Tatars" and not "Azerbaijanis", Soviet historians simply substituted Azerbaijani for Tatars. Azeri historians and writers, starting in 1937, followed suit and began to view the three-thousand-year history of the region as that of Azerbaijan. The pre-Iranian, Iranian, and Arab eras were expunged. Anyone who lived in the territory of Soviet Azerbaijan was classified as Azeri; hence the great Iranian poet Nezami, who had written only in Persian, became the national poet of Azerbaijan.
p. xvii;
"Although after Stalin's death arguments rose between Azerbaijani historians and Soviet Iranologists dealing with the history of the region in ancient times (specifically the era of the Medes), no Soviet historian dared to question the use of the term Azerbaijan or Azerbaijani in modern times. As late as 1991, the Institute of History of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, published a book by an Azeri historian, in which it noy only equated the "Tatars" with the present-day Azeris, but the author, discussing the population numbers in 1842, also included Nakhichevan and Ordubad in "Azerbaijan". The author, just like Petrushevskii, totally ignored the fact that between 1828 and 1921, Nakhichivan and Ordubad were first part of the Armenian Province and then part of the Yerevan guberniia and had only become part of Soviet Azerbaijan, some eight decades later."
p. xv;
"Although the overwhelming number of nineteenth-century Russian and Iranian, as well as present-day European historians view the Iranian province of Azarbayjan and the present-day Republic of Azerbaijan as two separate geographical and political entities, modern Azeri historians and geographers view it as a single state that has been separated into "northern" and "southern" sectors and which will be united in the future."
p. xviii;
"Since the collapse of the Soviet Union the current Azeri historians have not only continued to use the terms "northern" and "southern" Azerbaijan, but also assert that the present-day Armenian Republic was a part of northern Azerbaijan. In their fury over what they view as the "Armenian occupation" of Nagorno-Karabakh [which incidentally was an autonomous Armenian region within Soviet Azerbaijan], Azeri politicians and historians deny any historic Armenian presence in the South Caucasus and add that all Armenian architectural monuments located in the present-day Republic of Azerbaijan are not Armenian but [Caucasian] Albanian."
