Witnesses

I think you can move it to mainspace now. I've added significant amount of stuff. I suggest the article title should be "Witnesses and testimonies of the Armenian Genocide"...some redirect should apply as well...for example, "Witnesses of the Armenian Genocide" should be redirected. Also, don't forget to add it to the Armenian Genocide template. Proudbolsahye (talk) 21:25, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ANI comment

For a moment, you had the higher ground. Now it's you who is promising to revert, and not just him. It's better for you to agree not to continue the dispute until you get outside opinion. EdJohnston (talk) 16:32, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unlike him, dear EdJohnston, I'm open to any discussion. --Երևանցի talk 16:34, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Promising to revert puts you down at the same level as him. This will count against you if admins need to decide what to do. It's not advisable to get into a 'who can be the stupidest' contest. EdJohnston (talk) 16:44, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sure it's not. The guy has been acting the worst possible way and the admins are trying to keep some kind of "neutrality" I guess. I should probably leave the arena to users like him who can arbitrarily change the infobox of an ethnic group article and refuse to discuss anything and still not be blocked. Makes perfect sense to me. Maybe you guys need like 5 days to make a decision. Take your time man. --Երևանցի talk 16:49, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't get me wrong

I haven't say all or even most Armenians claim Babak is their, just little part (I saw it on Talkpage, some kid perhaps). Btw I don't agree with your conclusion that Armenian is by deafult "Apostolic Christian", Tigranes wasn't one. :) --HistorNE (talk) 19:24, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

LOL you claim to fight against "ultra-nationalism", though you assume things on the comments of "some kid". Really? Tigranes the Great lived in 1st century BC. Christianity was adopted in 301 AD. Every Armenian after that date is a Christian and that's not my conclusion, it's a historic fact. --Երևանցի talk 19:31, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well considering comment I guess he's around 15. :) I don't fight actually, I collect them as other people post stamps. Some of my favorites from ex-Yugoslav region is that Alexander the Great is Slavic Macedonian, Christopher Columbus is Croat and Virgin Mary is Serb. Such funny claims are based on "analizes" by local "scholars", but fortunately not so accepted to keep them on national Wikipedias. I'm not sure how Armenian Wikipedia stands with own similar issues, but I must say Azerbaijani is complete disaster - just take a look at their template History of Azerbaijan: representative photo is victory of Naram-Sin Akkadian against tribes from Luristan in 23 century BC. After seeing such nonsense I feel bigger Armenian then you are, despite not being Apostolic Christian. :) --HistorNE (talk) 20:13, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not going to comment the Azerbaijani historiography, because my country and Azerbaijan are in a state of war and everything I say here will be used against me. I don't think claims such as the Alexander the Great one being a Slav should not even be talked about. Any guy who is a little familiar with ancient history should know that he is part of the Greek civilization, not Slavic. --Երևանցի talk 20:44, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Special Barnstar
For your countless high-quality additions of articles related to Armenia and Armenian history. Keep up the good work! Cheers, Antidiskriminator (talk) 20:00, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much! I appreciate it.--Երևանցի talk 20:03, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry that you had to deal with that. DYK has been very odd lately with long arguments about whether "woman" professor or "female" professor should be used, pulling an article from the prep area that was approved on July 16 just because of one editor's opinion about a hook, excessive nitpicking, and your nomination as well. Orlady could have simply removed "highly" and now because of that, the nomination sat there for days until I noticed it. SL93 (talk) 01:46, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Armenian help needed

Hello Yerevanci, I'm contacting you because we need some Armenian translators to help with the deployment of the new VisualEditor on hy.wikipedia. There are help pages, user guides, and description pages that need translating, as well as the interface itself. The translating work is going on over on MediaWiki: Translation Central. I also need assistance with a personal message for the Armenian Wikipedians. If you are able to help in any way, either reply here, or head over to TranslationCentral. Thanks for your time, PEarley (WMF) (talk) 16:50, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've been busy lately. Yes, just let me know how I can help you. --Երևանցի talk 21:16, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yerevanci, great! We're making some progress on translating the actual VisualEditor interface text into Armenian, but there's still some cleanup to be done. Here's where the magic happens: Translatewiki.net - Armenian.
The help documents haven't been started, though, and they are quite important. If you could do any work on the user guide or the FAQ, it would be very useful to the hy.wikipedians when VE is rolled out. Just click "translate this page" above the header to get started. Let me know if you have any difficulties. Regards, PEarley (WMF) (talk) 19:57, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'll see what I can do. --Երևանցի talk 18:27, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, any little bit helps, especially from a native speaker. PEarley (WMF) (talk) 22:05, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I took a look at [1] twice, but I can't figure our why it says that I need permission to edit. --Երևանցի talk 00:04, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops, yeah, forgot to mention - translatewiki.net doesn't recognize Wikimedia accounts (it really should), so you have to register (reg. page). After registration, you need to be "approved" as a translator, but I can fast-track that for you. Let me know if you decide to register. PEarley (WMF) (talk) 16:29, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
wow, time flies. I'll take a look at it again. --Երևանցի talk 03:11, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
sure does. If you have time, the User Guide translation hasn't been started. No hurry. It looks like Armenian won't get VE deployed until at least October. (Unless hr.wiki users really want it sooner!) PEarley (WMF) (talk) 03:07, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Chess history

Hello Yerevanci!

Again, congratulations for your work at Chess in Armenia! I wrote very similar articles at pt.wiki about chess in Spain, chess in Italy, chess in Arab world and chess in ancient Persia. As you see, they are very similar most of the part but Chess in Armenia is far better in statistics and team events. I will take this in consideration when I start improve then.

Tiny Request to Modify Map

Hello Yerevanci,

Could you please make Nigeria on this map--https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ethnicity_and_race_in_censuses.png --colored pink just like Myanmar (Burma) is? It is planning to hold a census with an ethnicity option in 2016. I tried modifying this map myself right now, but I was unsuccessful in doing this for some reason. This should only take a minute. Thank you very much. Have a good day and take care.

Angela Merkel

Regarding your edit, please note the following WP policies:

Nationality: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biographies clearly states: "In most modern-day cases this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen, national or permanent resident, or if notable mainly for past events, the country where the person was a citizen, national or permanent resident when the person became notable."

Per WP:RS, the original source, i.e. the book, does supersede the newspaper articles that are merely based/cite from that source.

All the newspaper articles provided by Marek, are based on the same book: Stefan Kornelius, Angela Merkel: Die Kanzlerin und ihre Welt, Hoffmann und Campe, 2013, page 1915, ISBN-13: 978-3455502916. The book (all the articles are based on) states that he was a "German citizen" with "Polish roots" (...deutscher Staatsbürger ... polnische Wurzeln). That's exactly what the article should state, and not some adulterated teaser version from a newspaper that claims to state the revelations/content of that very same book, while it obviously does not. All of the articles Marek has provided have copied each others content. The current version is in clear violation with several WP policies. --IIIraute (talk) 23:33, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Turkish people shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Aram Khachaturian

I saw the edit reverts regarding Aram Khachaturian and the explanatory comments accompanying them, and I thought I would point out that "one of the major musicians of the 20th century" is not the best writing in English. I know nothing about the source, but I do know something about English. If one wants to use "major musician", it would be more correct to write that he was "a major musician of the 20th century". Also, even though "major" and "great" are similar in meaning, their slightly different meanings convey a different attitude: "major" means "important" while "great" means "important, wonderful, outstanding". Finally, "major" has only one form: "major". "Great" has three forms: "great", "greater", and "greatest". Compare: He was "a major musician of the 20th century" and he was "one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century". Clearly, the second one expresses greater praise and admiration than the first.CorinneSD (talk) 22:47, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would assume that any any English native speaker would have a better command of that language than me. The source says: "Aram Ilych Khachaturyan was an Armenian Soviet composer, conductor, pedagogue, a public and musical figure, a People’s Artiste of the USSR, the author of the music of the Armenian Soviet Republic’s anthem and overall one of the major musicians of the 20th century." Because I didn't want to simply copy-paste it I wrote "one of the greatest", assuming that "one of the major" and "one of the greatest" are no different. Apparently, they are. --Երևանցի talk 01:59, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Ah - I see another editor has "got here first" on this point. Corinne's absolutely right about the distinction. Just to say that we can't say someone's "one of the greatest" unless we find a citation which actually says this; and much as I - and I'm sure many other people - love Khachaturian's music, I have to admit that there's a very large number of composers I would expect to be cited as "one of the greatest" before our dear Aram. Alfietucker (talk) 23:11, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You are free to have a list of your own and place Khachaturian wherever you desire. I find it quite surprising that you think there is a "very large number of composers" who are ahead of him, when he is compared to Prokofiev and Shostakovich, who are also called one of the greatest (or whatever word you want to use) composers of the 20th century. --Երևանցի talk 01:48, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well ultimately, as far as Wikipedia is concerned, it's not my opinion (or anyone else's) on relative "greatness" which matters - only what is verifiable from a reliable published source. But I don't want to come across as 'curt' by not saying more, so please forgive me if I explain myself, though this is to stray - as far as Wikipedia's concerned - into the realms of original research. For the background to Khachaturian's rise, which I believe was at least as much because of his non-bourgeois and ethnic background as due to his innate talent, I recommend Amy Nelson's Music for the Revolution - this really makes a lot of sense of the "discussions" Khachaturian was having as a student in the late-1920s. I hasten to add that, notwithstanding the motivations the Soviet State had for promoting Khachaturian's career, he was clearly a benevolent force: particularly as vice-chairman of the organizing committee of the Soviet Composer's Union, Khachaturian clearly understood far more about what composers needed for their creativity and well-being than did such Soviet officials as Platon Kherzentsev. This, I think, explains why he was so viciously attacked in 1948 - the supposed transgression of composing the Symphonic Poem seems to me simply convenient ammunition. A fair number of scholars are beginning to argue that 1948 was not at root about discordant music - that was, at best, a symptom - but about the far too autonomous role the Composer's Union and its organizing committee in particular was playing, awarding huge sums of money to Shostakovich and Prokofiev in particular via commissions and Stalin Prizes. Khachaturian's key role in this made him an obvious target. Until then, he was certainly promoted as a "titan" of Soviet music - largely due to having the approved ethnic and non-bourgeois background, so becoming an ideal Soviet-nurtured "star" the state could proudly "show off" and indeed export through his Piano and Violin concertos and such popular hits as the "Sabre Dance". Khachaturian's talent was, I think, rather greater than this implies, but still not as great as a composer as either Shostakovich or Prokofiev. Alfietucker (talk) 09:07, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, I don't know much about his biography in order to agree or disagree with you, but the point is that he is a well known composer that lived in the 20th century. Whether you or me put him in the list of the "greatest", he is quite known. He might have been promoted as a star by the Soviet state for the given reasons, but that's a small detail in my opinion, because at last, every great composer (and other artists) had been in some way supported by the state. --Երևանցի talk 20:14, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
At the risk of upsetting people who follow WPs injunction against opinion, I want to weigh in again on "one of the greatest musicians (or composers) of the 20th century". To say that is not to say anything about whether he is greater, or less great, than other great musicians (or composers) of the 20th century. There is no comparison implied here to other great musicians/composers of the 20th century such as Shostakovich and Prokofiev. There is comparison to all musicians/composers of the 20th century. I think there is plenty of evidence for this, and music historians can add the references. Also, the people who are most likely to read this article are those who know nothing, or very little, about Aram Khachaturian. If we remove every last shred of "opinion" such as this from Wikepedia articles, the articles will be dull and boring.CorinneSD (talk) 17:27, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Tatev ruined.png

Thanks for uploading File:Tatev ruined.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.

Can you tell me your opinion for capitalizing, Dashnaktsutyun equivilant and who can be considered fedayi here so that way I can make the needed changes today?

Edit waring?

Edit waring? I'm only reverting sockpupped editings.--Δαβίδ (talk) 18:04, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Go to sockpuppet investigation. Or try the talk page. Reverting is the last thing to do. --Երևանցի talk 18:05, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Attribution history for subpages

Hi Yerevanci. I've deleted most of your user subpages as you've requested. There were just two I was unsure of, as they were copy-pasted rather than moved into mainspace, and therefore your collaborators on them have not had their edits attributed correctly. Those users are User:TheShadowCrow on Wrestling in Armenia, and User:Proudbolsahye on Atatürk's cult of personality. [3] [4] The attribution could be corrected by performing a history merge of the user subpages and the mainspace articles. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 06:38, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the edits by TheShadowCrow were just minor formatting and spelling changes, so I've gone ahead and deleted that subpage. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 06:42, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

see for yourself. --Eingangskontrolle (talk) 06:10, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just started this article, but can't find more good sources (wiki articles indicate that it's on an official Iranian list of cultural monuments, but I can't find the original doc). Any more info available in Armenian language sources? --Soman (talk) 23:08, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your interest. I found only one source. Here's some useful information from it. It's 6.5 meters high, it used to have 6 columns. It was built using "yellow stones" and basalt. The article confirms that it was built in 1625. The only wall that is still standing is the northern one, while the southern wall is completely ruined. Its size is 15x10 meters. It was renovated in the 1800s. There are tombstones around the church, perhaps of the members of a wealthy family that financed its renovation.

Your added pics

Dear Yerevanci, Your added pics are not an Armenian Eternity signs. There are an Armenian Entity signs - superpositon left and right rotated Armenian Eternity sign. Vahram Mekhitarian (talk) 00:22, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If so, you are free to remove them. --Երևանցի talk 00:23, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This is not important, for me it is important that you properly recognize the signs of eternity. And yet, the sundial of Haghartsin is wrong, and what that fool them "corrected". Vahram Mekhitarian (talk) 00:34, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It is important. I do not want wrong stuff to stay there. I'm not an expert on this sign, I simply added those images because they look very similar to the eternity sign. --Երևանցի talk 02:23, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
