Hi, could you please help me with the Turkish vandal "XMurat" constantly changing the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/Recognition_of_the_Armenian_Genocide

and the map: http://commons.wikimedia.org/Image:ArmenianGenocideRecognition.png

Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.158.196.73 (talk) 19:48, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

OTRS

Yes, I can confirm that OTRS has an email from the Content Manager of ArmeniaDiaspora.com giving permisson. --Golbez (talk) 04:05, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

The term "Azerbaijani"

Do you know if there has been any extensive discussion on Misplaced Pages about the use/misuse of this word. It is my opinion that an "Azerbaijani" is a citizen of Azerbaijan. The republic of Azerbaijan did not exist before May 1918, so nobody prior to that date could be called an "Azerbaijani" (they would either be ethnic Tartars (or ethnic Azeri Tartars) or ethnic Armenians, and so on). And, furthermore, it could be argued that anybody who was a citizen of Azerbaijan after that date, even if they were Armenian or Georgian, could also legitimately be called an "Azerbaijani".

Map

User:Steelmate recommended not showing the individual states and I just went along with his proposal. Whether we include them or not, I have no issue either way. You can bring this up on the "Recognition of the Armenian Genocide" article talk page. -- Aivazovsky (talk) 16:51, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Aram Andonian

Hello VartanM,

I have asked a question about Aram Andonian which received no answer, and the article still contains the line " worked for the Young Turk government during World War I. Andonian served in the department of military censorship" which I have not read anywhere else... Is it correct ? Since he was arrested on April 24th, 1915 (according to Yves Ternon, Enquête sur la négation d'un génocide, amongst others), it is highly unrealistic (to say the least) that he was working fot the military censorship, or am I missing something ? I am sorry to bother you, but I thought that my question was too specific to flood the WikiProject Armenia and anyway you answer most questions there ;)) And you edited the article on Aram Andonian not long ago.

Best regards,

--Moumine70 (talk) 21:52, 10 February 2008 (UTC) (if you want to answer, it is better to do it on my French talk page...)

Ok, don't worry, this "information" has been in the article for such a long time that one or two weeks more will not make a big difference. Thank you and best regards, --Moumine70 (talk) 09:21, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Criticism

Hey! Why are you repeatedly changing my contributions (to the articles Armenian National Committee of America, David Mayer de Rothschild, and Bilderberg Group), and saying that I don't provide references and reliable sources? I have provided 5 sources on each of them, so don't try to cover up the truth! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.229.25.221 (talk) 01:37, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

I only reverted you once on the ANCA page because it was unsourced POV claim. VartanM (talk) 02:49, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

CfD on Category:Holocaust deniers

I'm afraid you can't do that. You can't just add an unrelated category to a CfD discussion. Imagine if it was an AfD discussion; someone nominated an article about soup for deletion then a few days later you added an article about football. That just wouldn't work. If you really want to nominate Holocaust deniers then you'll need to nominate it separately. Note however that the category survived a CfD discussion in April last year.

Re: Canvassing

I suspect you meant to make the point to someone else, rather than me. I haven't nominated anything for deletion for quite some time now and didn't involve myself in canvassing when I did. Regards Tonywalton  23:31, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Apology accepted. Tonywalton  23:36, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Please check who you're talking to

Your last comment, starting "Dear Arsenic" was left on my talkpage. If you intend a message for someone, please check the "Editing whatever" header to make sure that you're editing that someone's talkpage. I know I too can screw up from time to time, but please don't do it repeatedly. Thanks. Tonywalton  00:18, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

your thoughts pls

Hi, Grandmaster has asked me to perform a page move. From a quick glace I can see consensus on the talk between Grandmaster and alidoostzadeh, but I notice that in that section you have rejected a merge request so perhaps you have an opinion on the rename proposal. Please let me know when you have time. John Vandenberg (talk) 08:16, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello

I respect your work, and know how hard you try to be NPOV though at times to me seems very POV, but I have seen you do good NPOV work as well, so understand I am not here to "fight you" on every turf or article.

Please check my message at: http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Deliogul#slm. with regards to canvassing. Thanks and good day. — § _Arsenic99_ 19:17, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Right "a little help" is biraz yardim, a little help in directing me to the right way to propose a CfD, it was my first time. I didn't say, a little help in voting on delete, as I told you there is nothing like that in the messages. Regardless, I'll be more careful and write it in English next time. I didn't propose to anyone to make a SPA account, that could be anyone or even someone who is a wikipedian but just never bothered to make an account, so please understand that you don't need to jump to conclusions. If I was trying to be low and dirty, I would bring in 200 people from my fraternities and organizations I know to make posts, and you would see a link to that page on many websites, but I am not trying to "cheat" my way, plus it's not about numbers, it's about the strength of the argument and I know my argument for deletion is simply flat out better than yours for keeping it. I'll understand if you disagree. — § _Arsenic99_ 22:02, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

There is a discussion on WP:ANI regarding your civility and conduct. Just letting you know in case you want to make a statement/comment. Wisdom89 _{(T / )} 08:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Hamshenis

Vartan, please check out the Hamshenis article and talk page when you get a chance. A Turkish user User:Omer182 is trying to erase the Armenian background of the Hamshenis. -- Aivazovsky (talk) 14:38, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Daniel Varujan

Barev! Isn't there a wiki-page abt Daniel Varujan (in English wikipedia, I created it in the Italian one)...? Is it possible? Bye! Amiens984 (talk) 20:10, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I think you've realised already, but this is way over the top. Cool it a little, please. Moreschi (talk) 13:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Riana's request for bureaucratship

Dear VartanM, thank you for taking part in my RfB. As you may know, it was not passed by bureaucrats. I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight. I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community. I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to call me out. ~ Riana ⁂ 12:36, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Have I made a mistake?

It would appear in my short time here, I've angered the Wiki-"gods". http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Guenter_Lewy&diff=198296943&oldid=198218139

They've started with Guenter Lewy's position on the Armenian and Native American genocide and probably won't stop until they removed any and all persons/information involved. http://en.wikipedia.org/Guenter_Lewy Kansas Bear (talk) 04:52, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Here's their next removal of documented information.http://en.wikipedia.org/Murad_Gumen Kansas Bear (talk) 23:16, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Disrespectful comments targeting Armenians

Hi,

Sorry to take your time. I came across this edit today in which the user is making some derogatory comments towards Armenia and some other countries that borders on racism, caliming that Armenia is a non-historical and weak entity. Of course such claims for me who have been fortunate enough to read about the history of Armenia from Tigranes the Great all the way to the Armenian Genocide is simply ludicrous. I think this is very unfortunate and believe this user should be given a strong warning to refrain from such behaviour in the future. Regards.Heja Helweda (talk) 22:30, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I think this user is obsessed with me. I totally recognize the Armenian Genocide. I believe the small countries of the caucus are weak entities and they are played sometimes with bigger powers (Russia and US). There is no disrespect to any of these countries. --alidoostzadeh (talk) 03:11, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
