Hello. The information that I deleted contains racist arguments about forcibly converting to Islam. If you don't let me to delete it, I would kindly ask you to delete it yourself. If not, I will complain about it to the main admins. Thank you. User:Verman1

Tsitsernavank Monastery

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Tsitsernavank Monastery, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Serouj (talk) 16:59, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Tsitsernavank, for your information, is an Armenian monastery. Caucasian Albania has been EAST of the Kur River, and was an extinct nation by 7th century; Tsitsernavank is in the Armenian Highland, and is WEST of the Kur River by more than 100 km. The references cited in the Tsitsernavank article are from reliable sources: the University of Chicago Press and the California State University, among others. Your source from an obscure Azeri website does not cut it for Wikipedia. Your edits have been reverted. Serouj (talk) 16:01, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

You have no reliable sources that verify your claims. When you do, only then edit the article and specify your sources. Again, your obscure Azeri website cannot be used as a source.Serouj (talk) 06:40, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk pages

You really, really need to visit talk pages to present your arguments rather than simply reverting. This is advice. Please take it. To that end, I am officially advising you of the provisions of [2007 Armenia-Azerbaijan Arbitration], which states that an editor can be sanctioned for continuing tendentious editing despite being warned. This is your warning. Please read that link, and bring yourself to the talk page of an article next time instead of reverting. You have never edited an article talk page. I am not an uninvolved administrator, so that is why I am giving you a civil warning and placing you under its provisions, rather than threatening a block myself. --Golbez (talk) 12:26, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Look, at this moment I don't care about your politics, and neither does the above-linked arbitration. All it says is that, when editing Wikipedia, you must adhere by our rules of civility and discourse. That means no repeat reverting, and no reverting without bringing the issue up on the talk page, and bringing the issue up with the community rather than edit-warring. If you cannot do that, then yes, you should leave, but realize you're leaving because you can't get along with others, not because of politics. --Golbez (talk) 13:14, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Again - if you think it's prejudicial to want you to act in a civil manner and actually discuss your changes, then you really should leave now. Everyone - everyone - has to follow the rules on civility and not edit warring. I have made no statement in this conversation whatsoever on the politics, as they are fundamentally irrelevant to the core issues of civility and discourse. --Golbez (talk) 18:02, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four halfwidth tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 13:03, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Arbitration enforcement warning: Armenia and Azerbaijan

Hi, I have been asked on my talk page to give an opinion about your comment] at Talk:Tsitsernavank Monastery. It is not acceptable to criticise sources on the basis of the alleged (see WP:BLP!) ethnic heritage of their authors. People cannot influence where they are born, and it is fallacious to assume that they hold certain opinions or are more or less reliable simply because of who their parents are. Advancing such opinions is misusing Wikipedia as a vehicle for ethnic conflict. Instead, all sources and authors should be evaluated only on the basis of their reliability as set forth in WP:RS. I am warning you that more comments in this vein may result in sanctions per WP:ARBAA2#Amended Remedies and Enforcement. Thank you for paying attention to this.  Sandstein  20:50, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
