Early history of Weightlifting

Do you know if weightlifting in Armenia has a history before the Soviet era? While wrestling and boxing are more traditional, it seems weightlifting and gymnastics became popular because they were popular sports in the Soviet Union; I'm not sure though. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 18:48, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

So should we take Early history off of the history section and mention in the Soviet era one that this is when weightlifting first became popular in Armenia? And Rafael Chimishkyan is from Georgia, so that really doesn't say anything about weightlifting in Armenia. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 19:07, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Re:Chess in Georgia

Hi Yerevanci. I'm sorry for a late reply. Thanks for your interest in the topic. Here're are a few sources I found about chess in Georgia: [1], [2], [3], [4]. The last two are in Georgian and I'll translate it as time permits. As for the Tbilisi Chess Palace, it is a modern building and is, according to the Georgian law, copyrighted. We have no right to upload it here, but I'll try to get the image of that building as part of panorama, which is permitted. Best, --Kober^Talk 04:58, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

DYK for Heydar Aliyev's cult of personality

Wrestling reply

For the European Championships.. yeah, that's probably a good idea. Actually, I was thinking of going back to organize all the medals in the order of which they were won (most already are, but definitly not all) but this solves the problem completely. If you want to seperate the European GR and FS medals, I think it's a good idea.

But I'm not sure if we should do it for the World and (espically) Olympic medals... yet. Olympic would look wierd because there's only one freestyle medal. Not really a point. But World is likely to get bigger sooner, so it would make sense to seperate the FS and GR world medals too. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 00:23, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Armenian wrestling

Yeah I wish there was somewhere we could go to find the 2011 and 2012 info.

I have to disagree on both of those choices.

Both of us didn't expect to find a women medalist and I bet many Armenians will be thinking the same. So I bet they'd also be suprised and happy to see they're wrong. And Women's wrestling could pick up in popularity and success at any time.

As for the world cup... I kind of agree because I don't think Armenia will come in the top 3 again any time soon, but on the other hand, this is an important phase for Armenian wrestling. This is the first major international wrestling competition Armenia hosted and is an important part of Armenian wrestling history.

So I say keep both.

And on the topic of hosting... http://sport.news.am/arm/news/12763/erevanum-en-brncqamarti-mijazgayin-federaciayi-nerkayacucichnery.html We should mention this in the boxing page. Armenia could be close to hosting the actual World Championships, which is also pretty intriguing. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 01:06, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Good news! I just found the 2010 FILA World Cup Armenian team http://www.fila-official.com/images/FILA/resultats/2010/results_02_yerevan_gr.pdf --TheShadowCrow (talk) 01:36, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

It looks great. I think Norayr Musheghian and his accomplishments should be mentioned. Also, the female wrestler doesn't have a source. TheShadowCrow (talk) 12:49, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Do you know if any of these pictures can be put on Wikipedia? http://www.wrestlingra.am/index.php?lang=en&go=veterans&mid=111 --TheShadowCrow (talk) 15:44, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Armenian boxing

Just want you to know I'm ready to put up all the medalists right after you put the medal templates up (I'd do it myself but I'm not sure if you wanted to change the critera for boxing specificly).

Also, do you plan to put both amateur and professional boxing on this page? --TheShadowCrow (talk) 00:15, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Yerevan article image

I think the new image I've created for the Yerevan article is much more appropriate as opposed to the montage you've put together. My image is of Featured Image quality and boosts the reputation of the article quite a bit, in my opinion. Սէրուժ (talk) 15:51, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Questions and ideas

I've decided to move forward with the idea of ethnic Armenian Olympians. Do you know how to make categories?

Also, this might sound like a bad idea, so I just want to get your opinion, but do you think it would be a good idea if, on the List of Armenian Olympic medalists page, for Olympic medalists who competed for the Soviet Union, we put somewhere which Soviet Republic they competed for?

The point would be to show who would have actually represented Armenia in the scenario that the Soviet Union was never formed and who wouldn't.

For example, Vladimir Yengibaryan would have won his medal for Armenia because he was born in the Armenian SSR and lived there his whole career, while someone like Nikita Simonyan would be an Olympic medalist for Russia even if the Soviet Union wasn't formed.

We would have to be careful which Republic they lived in. Like, even though Albert Azaryan was born in the Azerbaijan SSR, he moved to the Armenian SSR at a young age and has lived there ever since. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 00:52, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I knew it wouldn't look great. I was thinking of creating another section with their Soviet Republic and putting "N/A" in all the ones that aren't the USSR, but I like the idea of point out the ones that are from the Arm SSR best. Perhaps we could italiic something or change the color of a box. Just ideas.

Also, what do you think of the category? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Ethnic_Armenian_Olympians_who_represented_other_countries

Hope you don't mind I copied the first sentance of your medalist page, which inspired me to make this in the first place. By the way, I'm not sure if I want to include USSR Olympians or not. If you ever find any not listed, please tell me or add them, as will I if I find any missing Armenian Olympic medalists. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 23:30, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Me to. Anyway, I've been digging up more of our foreign olympians, and I found this

http://www.armeniapedia.org/wiki/Olympics

Of course, this is the same website that said Igor Novikov was Armenian, and the spelling is terrible, so I'm pretty skeptical about it.

Do any of these people sound Armenian to you? I'm pretty sure the first and fourth aren't:

Timur Taimazov, Oleksandr Stepanyan (Wikipedia calls him Zakharuk), Amir Tavakolian, Georgeta Damian, Ditte Kotzian

If Taimazov, Damian and Kotzian are Armenian, they are not only Olympians, but Olympic medalists and can go on your List of Armenian Olympic Medalists article. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 22:09, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

AfD for Misho

Hi- I'm writing this because I want to let you know that I'm going to try to put a rest to the constant attempts to delete the article for Misho. Since they seem determined to get the article deleted, I'm going to go ahead and put it up for AfD with their justification for the article's deletion. I am not personally endorsing the article's deletion, I'm just listing it for AfD because it will hopefully put to rest any worries of the article subject's notability and from here on out you'd be able to say that it was up for AfD and that it was kept. If it is deleted then you can always keep a copy in your userspace, but the bigger issue here is to get this out of the way so that any further attempts at trying to get the article deleted can be seen as out and out vandalism or bad faith edits. Right now all we have to go by is that someone thinks the article doesn't pass notability guidelines and as such, have to assume good faith. This is just some of that fantastic red tape and procedures we have to go through before we can get to that point.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:05, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Nomination of Misho for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Misho is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Misho until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:08, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

• Again, purely procedural and if kept, this will make it easier to defend the article against any further attempts at deletion.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:08, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

I saw it late. I removed, because I've created Category:Armenian male singers and Category:Armenian female singers. There's nothing wrong. She is still an Armenian singer :) -- Esc2003 (talk) 12:11, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

I define as the family roots. Turkish-Armenian person's some or all ancestors emigrated from Turkey to America. I think Turkish-Armenian naming is not a mixed blooded person. Perhaps this category should be deleted? Esc2003 (talk) 17:09, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Regarding some recent Armenian article changes

This user who goes by the name of Kentronhayastan, Ive noticed his edits for a while now, and they are not exactly describing who he really is. I mean to clarify to you, what im saying is if you notice his edits on the Armenian articles, he pretends he is doing good to the Armenian history, but in fact, he is corrupting it in a clever way. He is an imposter actually. I noticed for example he added a whole bunch of foreign languages to all the articles on our history, and someone else did a good job of reverting those. He basically is POV pushing just about any time in our history articles of foreign rule. He tried to put Islam in all the history articles, hah, and included like 10 other languages, where it says languages. The person that reverted him did a good job and restored the native language Armenian to be the only main language of those times. Specially the Kingdoms of Armenia , whether they were Ancient, or the Modern kingdoms like Bagratuni, and the Antiquity. He also had purposely removed the Marzpanate Mamikonian period, and the other person asked him to restore it back. Also if you can help out please restore back where it says "Armenia Major" in the Antiquity, to "Kingdom of Armenia", this is what it said earlier and this guy Kentronhayastan reverted it back to Armenia Major. Its suppose to say Kingdom of Armenia, because the only Kingdom of Armenia mentioned first is in the Middle Ages. Its showing that there was no Kingdom of Armenia in ancient times? If you notice he recently also changed Commagene to "Kingdom of Commagene", but didnt change Armenia Major to "Kingdom of Armenia". Please put back the name "Kingdom of Armenia", in our antiquity. Thank you. And if you can also remove Armeno-Phrygian from the History template also, because that was never there, and this imposter which im suspicious of is trying to ruin our history. Also he tried to change the language of the Orontid period, by saying it was Proto-Armenian, it was never Proto-Armenian, and everyone excepts that that was earlier than that time. 66.81.159.105 (talk) 07:11, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
