Actually...
I suppose this will occur anyway on the pen is mightier than the sword so you might as well have at it. -- Kendrick7 00:18, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Denial of the armenian genocide
Hi. I think the photo I added was proper for the article, the section is about the position of the Turkish authorities and the photo was provided by the Turkish military. If you want we may add an explanation under the photo saying that it is from a Turkish armed forces web site (or something like that) but I don't think deleting the photo is suitable.--Hattusili 21:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Eupator
Since you're knowledgeable on the Caucus and Central Asia topics, can you please comment on the discussion at Misplaced Pages:Templates for deletion#Template:Turkish History Brief. --Mardavich 12:30, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Armenian Reformed spelling
I didn't revert it. I created a new section. Stop being such a pain and grow up! (How old are you by the way? My guess is 17 to 19.)
If you live in L.A. we can meet up and discuss this face to face.
