Hunger

Excuse me, but I'm going to revert your changes. The setup of Hunger and Hunger (motivational state) was a result of careful consideration. There may be justification for changing it, but it needs to be discussed first. Please explain, preferably at Talk:Hunger, why you feel this change is the right thing to do (and I'll answer with why it isn't, and we can discuss it). Regards, Looie496 (talk) 15:56, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Just to follow up on that, the basic problem is that we were finding that many people care very deeply about hunger in the sense of malnutrition, and no matter what steps are taken, they will come to the article called hunger and add material about that topic. Struggling against that is just too much of a pain, in my opinion -- the only way to make the situation manageable is to have hunger be about malnutrition, even if that is not the right decision in a legalistic sense. At least that's my opinion; you can find the discussion that led to it at the bottom of Talk:Hunger. I'm certainly open to further discussion, though.

I've replied at talk there. Twilightchill t 23:14, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I translated few months ago in Italian the article about Peter Connolly, but there wasn't sources about his life. I saw that you created the article, so I would like to know where you found those information in order that I might add the sources in the italian article.

Your DYK submission

Hello! Your submission of The Lament for Icarus at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know!

According to the DYK rules, there should generally be at least one inline citation in most paragraphs. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 21:43, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for adding a citation, but there's been a lot of talk recently about stricter DYK standards, so would it be possible for you to supply another inline citation, for the paragraph which is currently without one? MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 11:04, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Reverting without discussion

Hello Twilight Chill. Regarding to you last edit in the article Azerbaijan: you actually reverted my edit without any motivation and actually don't leaving an edit summary at all. Furthermore, I hope that you noticed my post on the talk page, where you also did not leave any reaction. This is in contrary to WP policies, in fact it is edit warring. Please, respect WP rules and respect other users by engaging in discussion rather in edit warring in case you don't agree with one or another edit. --vacio 08:58, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Warning

Your edits on the Eldiguzids and Nezami can be considered vandalism as you have no right to distort primary sources. Given that you are under AA2, I strongly advise you to use the talkpage next time and ask for clarification. --Khodabandeh14 (talk) 14:14, 23 December 2010 (UTC) If you need reference on the line about Nezami see here: [1](If you have a problem, I can upload the page). And if you need reference on the line on Eldiguzids, see here: [2] which is the source that states: "Eldiguz was originally a Qypchaq military slave". And note when they took power: "Ḵāṣṣ Beg Arslān b. Palangarī in 548/1153, who had been given a position in that area as well. His situation in Azerbaijan seems to have been regularized by a peace which he and Āq Sonqor II of Marāḡa concluded in 549/1154-55 with his enemy, Sultan Moḥammad b. Maḥmūd (Bondārī, Zobda, p. 243, Minorsky, “Marāgha,” EI1III, p. 263)."[3] which is after 1141 (when the Seljuq empire had real control and not nominal control). --Khodabandeh14 (talk) 14:33, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

• Please note, Eldiguz was born in 530/135-36. Nezami was born in 1141, and at that time, Seljuq controlled the area (when Eldiguz, the founder of the Eldiguzids was 5-6 years old). The Atabeg dynasties would still be considered part of the larger Seljuq empire anyhow, even if the period was much later, but it is not.--Khodabandeh14 (talk) 14:56, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

My mistake on the birth of Eldiguz, but he was given Arran in 1153 "and that on the vizier’s death he passed first to Maḥmūd, then to Sultan Masʿūd (527/1133 to 547/1152) who gave him Arrān as eqṭāʿ "[4] which is after 1146 , and even in 1153, it was still under full Seljuq control. That is why Britannica is correct in this case. Thanks.--Khodabandeh14 (talk) 15:17, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Actually, they took control of the Seljuq Sultanate in 1160 (see their own article in wikipedia and Iranica). However, in the Nezami article, it has been mentioned that they controlled Ganja most of the later half of the 12th century. So Britannica is correct in putting the birth in the Seljuq empire as the Eldiguzids were under Seljuq control at the time (1141/1146..). --Khodabandeh14 (talk) 17:07, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Do not just change results like that without getting a consensus of opinion. In point of fact you were flat wrong and it has been reverted.Tirronan (talk) 15:28, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Aleksandra Samusenko DYK

I gave the hook an AGF approval because I'm willing to accept the information from Fabian Garin's work in counting the prose size. However, I do strongly recommend creating at least a stub on Garin based on the Russian Wikipedia article. Other DYK editors may disagree with the approval and consensus could emerge not to promote it but I think a Garin article would go a long way in establishing the encyclopedic worth of the text in the Samusenko article.

Warning

For several months now, I have observed and documented your habit of you subtly removing and suppressing information from articles, often without any discussion and most of the time through false and misleading edit summaries. I believed that after the first few reverts and admonitions you would desist from such harmful activity but your most recent edit on the Caucasian Albania article, which you glibly termed as mere "clean up" when it in fact consisted of wholesale revisions and suppression of information relating to Armenia, appears to confirm the exact opposite. If you continue with such harmful activity, which is completely against the spirit and the letter of ArbCom 2, I will be forced to report you.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 21:00, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Warning on edit-warring and disruptive editing

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful, then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Vandorenfm (talk) 17:30, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Arbitration enforcement topic ban: Armenia and Azerbaijan

In application and enforcement of WP:AA2#Amended Remedies and Enforcement, you are topic-banned for one year from Armenia and Azerbaijan, as defined at WP:TBAN. The reason for this ban is explained in this AE thread.  Sandstein  22:46, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Could you also check and control the two articles Ermenikend and Gulf of Iskenderun?

Could you also check and control the two articles Ermenikend and Gulf of Iskenderun?

The reason is that User:Aramvan has started to resort to vandalism of the banned user ASALA by reverting the editions in both articles through copying the latter's chauvinistic and substandart editions.

Thank you.

Your recent arbitration enforcement request

You have requested arbitration enforcement against an editor in an Armenia and Azerbaijan-related matter. But you are topic-banned from this area of conflict (User talk:Twilight Chill#Arbitration enforcement topic ban: Armenia and Azerbaijan), and your AE report is not one of the exceptions recognized in Wikipedia:BAN#Exceptions to limited bans. I ask you to provide reasons, at WP:AE#Vandorenfm, why you should not yourself be sanctioned for violating your topic ban by making the enforcement request.  Sandstein  22:01, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

February 2011

To enforce an arbitration decision, you have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for violating your Armenia-Azerbaijan topic ban by making a topic-related arbitration enforcement request, as explained at [6]. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing arbitration enforcement blocks and follow the instructions there to appeal your block.  Sandstein  09:36, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Notice to administrators: In a March 2010 decision, the Committee held that "Administrators are prohibited from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except: (a) with the written authorization of the Committee, or (b) following a clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors at a community discussion noticeboard (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI). If consensus in such discussions is hard to judge or unclear, the parties should submit a request for clarification on the proper page. Any administrator that overturns an enforcement action outside of these circumstances shall be subject to appropriate sanctions, up to and including desysopping, at the discretion of the Committee."
