Disambiguation link notification
Hi. In Old City of Aleppo, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Arpad (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Please also explain your edits using an WP:Edit summary. Thanks.

dear preacher Lad we have personally contacted Lieutenant Abdel Ruzzak Tlas on that date , and him specifically detailed what exactly happened. We are an organization and we have reliable sources HagopAlsoury1 (talk) 03:07, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- Preacherlad, you are still marking your edits minor, please stop. HagopAloury1, you must find other sources that meet our criteria at WP:RS for this. Dougweller (talk) 08:06, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Please be aware of Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan 2 before making further reverts. Yerevan is one of the articles covered by that arbitration. Also, mind WP:OR. All edits must be based on reliable sources. In this case, the term used by the Russian census is Azerbaijani Tatar. So please stop reverting verifiable info. Thanks. Grandmaster 20:32, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- In Wikipedia article we do not include personal ideas or beliefs, we refer to reliable sources. Since Erivan was a part of the Russian empire, only Russian census could be a reliable source about its population at that time. Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary uses the term Azerbaijani Tatar (Население Э. (17345 мужчин и 11688 женщин) слагается из русских — 2 %, армян — 48 % и адербейджанских татар — 49 %; остальные — грузины, евреи и проч.) So we go along with what the source says, not what you believe is right. If you continue to edit war, I will have to ask for the admin intervention. Grandmaster 06:52, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not threatening, but you were here for about a year now, and should know that there are certain rules that everyone must observe. I'm just trying to explain you that edit warring is not acceptable, and especially over such a minor issue. Take care. Grandmaster 11:48, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Iran and Hezbollah
The sources for Iran and Hezbollah are in the article and also a lengthy discussion was held on the talk page of the article at the end of which a decision was made to include them, so please don't go against consensus, thank you. If you find a proper source for the CIA, Mossad and others than I will myself add it. However, at this point the sources you provided are highly unreliable and dubious. The point of the CIA especially was also discussed at length on the talk page and it was ascertained that they are only in an observer role at the moment in Syria where they are still deciding wether to help the rebels due to the presence of some Islamist elements. Start a new discussion on the talk page if you have a problem with all of this. EkoGraf (talk) 21:51, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Aleppo. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Note that you must not make anything as M that isn't clearly minor, eg linking, spelling, etc. Marking a major change as M might be seen as an attempt to get editors to overlook it. You should also use edit summaries. Dougweller (talk) 07:08, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Re: "Terror"
Sorry to break it to you, kiddo, but "dumb rules" are how Wikipedia works. If you don't want to follow them, then I suggest you leave the project.
Aleppo is a warzone. Things blow up in warzones. It's a tragedy when innocents get caught up in it, but I don't see you shedding your crocodile tears for those killed when government troops shell residential neighbourhoods. ~~ Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 16:39, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
Do you know where Izza is?
I am the map creator for the Battle of Aleppo article. Since you've said you live in Aleppo, I'd like to ask you if you know where Izza is. I've seen it in the news sometimes, but I can't find on maps. If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated. -- FutureTrillionaire (talk) 21:45, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Your photos
If you have photos of the events occurring in Aleppo, can you post them on the Battle of Aleppo page? I think many of us would be interested in seeing them. -- FutureTrillionaire (talk) 02:17, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

DYK for Bab al-Nairab
On 21 October 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bab al-Nairab, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Bab al-Nairab neighborhood in Aleppo, Syria, was originally a 13th-century gate planned by the Ayyubid ruler az-Zahir Ghazi, but built by his successor al-Aziz Muhammad? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bab al-Nairab. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Aleppo situation for Armenians
I noticed you said on the aleppo battle talkpage that you were an Armenian Syrian. The news media focuses to much on what rebels and activists in Aleppo instead of what the locals say. Can I ask you what is the situation like in Aleppo for the locals? Has life collapsed or is it still going on. I also saw reports of Armenian women and children fleeing to Armenia for safety while the men stayed behind to guard their houses. If the government wins are they planning on coming back or stay in Armenia permenantely. Thanks for your time 62.31.145.100 (talk) 16:38, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
