Armenia page

Excuse me, can you please put this version [1] for what you changed in the infobox "Formation and Independance". Since I noticed it more properly matches the present day Armenia article. Thank you. 66.214.143.68 (talk) 07:47, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Formation and independence Democratic Republic of Armenia established 28 May 1918 Independence from the Soviet Union Declared Recognised Finalised

23 August 1990 21 September 1991 25 December 1991

If you are not sure what im referring to, its here [2] <-- This is your edit for that infobox. Please put the above version I provided. Thanks.

Also, this head paragraph in the Armenia page doesnt need an entire history lesson. Please be brief like the link I provided from the earlier version here: A former republic of the Soviet Union, Armenia is a unitary, multiparty, democratic nation-state with an ancient and historic cultural heritage. The Kingdom of Armenia was the first state to adopt Christianity as its religion

2014 Armenian–Azerbaijani line of contact clashes

Just a heads up, I added the 1 death that even NKO is reporting.
I also removed this as sort of speculation for THIS incident. True, Armenia is in full support more generally, but theres nothing indicating that this was with forces of Armenia proper.

btw- in Armenia yall call it NKR instaead of NKO?Lihaas (talk) 23:47, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Both Armenian and Azeri media were were reporting about clashes in Tavush province, which is in Armenian proper. I'll try to find English sources on it. What is NKO? Everybody calls it NKR as far as I know, not just Armenians. If you're talking about the Soviet era region, then it's Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO). --Երևանցի ^talk 23:52, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Ah, okey then well add it with the source. Alhthough were the soldiers from Armnia proper or fighters from AZ and Karabakh?

ya, that's what an Armenian told me today. In the west/academia its generally known as NKO hence I picked it upLihaas (talk) 00:30, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

"In the west/academia its generally known as NKO hence I picked it up" Simply not true. I have never came across one authoritative source referring to NKR as "NKO". What does it even stand for? --Երևանցի ^talk 00:31, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Re:

Hello there. The assassination of Bedros Kapamajian sounds very familiar but I think only because I first read about it on Wikipedia. I do not know if Aram might have played any role of it; doubtless such things existed at the time, but I feel like you would have to read the memoirs of some of the revolutionary leaders and see if they ever mention him or talk about the circumstances relating to his death. There were some Armenian revolutionary figures from Van who later wrote memoirs, including A-Do, so that might be worth a look. I know this might be a little difficult, but you can check to see if some Armenian newspapers of the time discussed it. I would start with encyclopedias and secondary sources and make my way down from there to the primary sources. Best,--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 16:45, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Aram

I hope you noticed the pictures I sent you and they are of help to you. I was also wondering if you would agree to add another office to his template, "Governor of Armenia", akin to Ioannis Kapodistrias's Governor of Greece, going from May 28 to July 30. The "Representative of the Armenian National Council in Yerevan" title extends before the Republic was founded, and starting on May 20 he had his own cabinet:

Aram Manukyan - Governor

Sirakan Tigranyan - Vice-Governor

Paruir Levonyan - Assistant Governor

Artak Darbinyan - Chancellor

Karapet Ajemyan - Chancellor

Tigran Terlemezyan - Treasurer

Onnik Mkhitaryan - Secretary

--Steverci (talk) 15:05, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Here is a source, I believe it is the Miller book. --Steverci (talk) 22:08, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

He was governor of Van for a brief period (over two months) in 1915 and that source is about Van (look at the entire page, it talks about Van in 1915). And what does "Governor of Armenia" even mean? I don't know what's the problem with Representative of the Armenian National Council in Yerevan. That's exactly what he was. We're not here to invent new terms just because they sound right or are shorter. --Երևանցի ^talk 04:38, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

The Wikipedia article says he governed Van for over two years, but never mind, the orientica source is wrong, my mistake. This isn't about inventing new terms, he was sent by the Armenian National Council to Yerevan in December 1917 as plenipotentiary representative and he was proclaimed dictator during a conference of military and civil leaders of Yerevan in March 1918. Plus 'Representative' is misleading because it implies he was an equal in an assembly, so I think a different title to differentiate his positions would be less confusing. He became acting Chairman of the National Council of Armenia/Armenian National Council, and has also been called Chairman of the National Council of Yerevan/Yerevan National Council,[3] so any of those could work.

Also, I don't know if you found a source for his family yet, but this one goes into a lot of detail on his wife and daughter. And his biographer Arshaluys Astvatzatrian has an interesting account of his funeral here. --Steverci (talk) 22:48, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

The problem is I'm not sure if Yerevan National Council is a legitimate term or not. You said it yourself that he was sent to Yerevan by the Armenian National Council. I have to check the other (esp Armenian) sources. Thanks for the links, I'll look into them. --Երևանցի ^talk 01:54, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Warning

Your recent editing history at Lavash‎ shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

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.--Fmelikov (talk) 03:28, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

• Do you look at http://news.am ? (Armenian news web site). It posts articles in Armenian and Russian and usually English and sometimes Turkish. At the ends of some news articles is a place where readers can post Facebook comments :: many such comment messages from Armenians are in Russian. I have found there a few Facebook messages in Armenian or Russian languages in the English alphabet. Google Translate is useful to me here. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:01, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Yeah, many mid-aged people in Armenia who attended Russian schools (i.e. schools where Armenian was taught as a foreign language) in the Soviet era are not fluent in Armenian and are unable to make complex sentences in Armenian. Also, hundreds of thousands of Armenians live in Russia. Just curious, how is Google Translate helpful in translating Armenian or Russian written in Latin script? --Երևանցի ^talk 02:42, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Google Translate needs Armenian to be in the Armenian alphabet, and Russian to be in the Russian alphabet, and so on. For example, Armenian ե is Unicode code hexadecimal 0565, and its Roman alphabet equivalent 'e' is Unicode code hexadecimal 0065, and they are different things to a computer program. When Google-translating some Facebook comments added to news.am by Armenians in the Russian language, sometimes the translater refused because the author had replaced a Russian letter by an English letter that looks the same on the screen but has a different Unicode code.

• A long time ago I remember at work at UMIST seeing a Georgian (from the Caucasus) student emailing in Georgian language in the English alphabet. How much Russian is spoken in Yerevan nowadays? Is the young generation successfully being brought back to using Armenian as their first language? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:13, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Russian has always been spoken in Yerevan as a native language only by a small minority. Today, Russian words are often used in colloquial Armenian (might wanna take a look at Yerevan dialect for more on this). Yes, those educated in independent Armenia especially since the late 1990s (the early and mid-1990s were a time of deep socio-economic crisis and schools were barely functioning) are more or less fluent in Armenian. Russian retains its status as the primary foreign language, although English has become increasingly influential especially in the past decade with the dramatic rise of the internet. --Երևանցի ^talk 04:05, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Hey, I made a new article for Hovhannes Hovhannisyan. I didn't realize you had already made one - I was searching under the spelling in the Myasnikyan article and didn't find anything. I tried to make the page directly at Hovhannes Hovhannisyan but it looks like that was about a footballer and was deleted, so made the article, then I found yours. I redirected to mine because it seemed like the more common spelling. I brought over the Google Books reference you had that I didn't have so nothing was lost. Anyway I would appreciate if you could patrol the page. I know I will do terribly at translating the titles of his poetry, so I won't even try. Thank you so much!

Hey~ I just saw that you edited the article about the President of Armenia and returned it to its previous state.

Right now I got some more instructions from the them on how to improve the article.

Could you please update the Iranian Armenian numbers?

Dear User:Yerevantsi,

I see you do a lot of good stuff on behalf of the Armenian related pages, well done ;) However I have one sincere question; could you please update the numbers for the Armenian diaspora in Iran? Currently, the Armenian diaspora page shows one number for 70,000 - 80,000 (which is a very very low underestimation) and the reference for it is a dead link. The other number 120,000, is from an 8 year old source and should nowadays be a minimum estimation. Don't forget the Iranian population has grown significantly since then.

I have here some more recent sources that you could perhaps put there. I have no idea how to put them correctly myself, so I wondered whether you could put them for me?

This is a 2009 source that mentions them ranging between 110,000 - 300,000.

Here a 2011 source that mentions them to be (about) 200,000. And here a 2010 source doing so as well.

Famous Babak Rezvani, specialized in Caucasian-Iranian history and ethnic groups in his 2014 book (using a 2008 source) mentions 250,000 Armenians.

Another source, 2006, about Ethnic Groups in West Asia, mentions them to be more than 250,000.

Another source 2013, mentions them to be 200,000 as well.

Another source, 2012, mentions them to be 500,000.

A 2013 post mentioning 150,000.[5], and the same by a 2014 post.[6]

The estimations range somewhat, but as of 2015, we can definetely say a low estimation would be 150,000-200,000 while a high estimation would be 300,000-500,000, knowing that Irans populations numbers some ~ 80 million nowadays.

Thanks in advance dear Yerevantsi. I would appreciate it a lot if you could edit that page and the diaspora map accordingly :)

Two questions

Hello Yerevantsi,

I have two questions;

- On this template [7] shouldn't we include all empires and territories as well that ruled over Greater Armenia? As of now, it only includes Armenian dynasties, which makes it somewhat odd.

- Could you update the Armenian diaspora map? Several numbers are updated since some sources from ~ 10 years ago, and that needs a change on the map as well.

Awaiting your response! :)

- LouisAragon (talk) 12:02, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

If you're asking my personal opinion, "Armenia" refers more to Greater Armenia (i.e. "historical Armenia") than the current Republic of Armenia. Logically, yes, the template should include all all empires that ruled over Armenia. Are any major ones missing?

Was the list updated? The only country I see is Iran. Also, the 0.5 million figure is simply ridiculous. Most reliable recent sources don't put the number of Persian Armenians above 100,000. --Երևանցի ^talk 20:45, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

User:Yerevantsi, thanks for your response. Well, if we're going by all the Empires that ruled over the region of western armenia/eastern armenia, or at least either one of them, then the Seljuk Empire, Sallarids, Ak Koyunlu, etc all should be added as well (just naming a few). I'd say there are definetely, apart from these that I mentioned, several others as well if we go through Armenian history. The main reason why I was asking this though was as I thought the intention was to keep only native armenian dynasties/rulers or armenian periods within foreign domination on the template.

About the second point, yes the list was updated. Most of the sources that claimed 120,000+- for the Armenians in Iran were from sources of several years ago. Don't forget the Iranian population has grown over the years (it's about 77-80 million atm) and most logically, the number of Armenians would be at least 150,000-200,000 by now, as a minimum.

I agree the 500,000 one would be even per the rationale I mentioned way too much, though it came from seemingly alright source and could be taken as a high estimate

Anyway, even then, Iran on the diaspora map should get a deeper colour of red than the one it has been assesed to as of yet. There's simply no way, that anno 2015, the armenian population is between 50,000-100,000 as thats the colouring Iran has atm on the map. By all means and per the most reliable recent estimations and sources, it should be between 120,000-250,000/300,000 Armenians there today, given how the population has risen and given what % of the population they have composed there post 2000's and ever since after the 1979 Revolution.

Bests and awaiting response. - LouisAragon (talk) 01:45, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

About some articles you contribute significantly

I know you have contributed to the articles Armenian Genocide and Confiscated Armenian properties in Turkey, and your contribution makes non-Armenians know better about the situation of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire and Republic of Turkey. However, both articles have problems. The former does not include papers and reviews published in International Journal of Armenian Genocide Studies, which is a pity and the latter does not include the confiscation of Armenian properties during Hamidian massacres and Adana massacre, and the reason that the Committee of Union and Progress confiscated Armenian properties during the Armenian Genocide (it can be found in the book Confiscation and destruction: The Young Turk Seizure of Armenian Property, which is a shame since though a good article does not need (and is not accepted) to include all verifiable and accurate information about a particular subject, the article should contain all important information about the subject, and the latter is a GA.

FYI re cut-and-paste moves

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Armenians in the United Kingdom a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Armenians in United Kingdom (then titled "Armenian British"). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Hi Yerevantsi,

Just to let you know, the Featured Picture File:Karl Brullov - The Last Day of Pompeii - Google Art Project.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on October 25, 2015. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2015-10-25. Thank you for all of your contributions! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:47, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

What do you think about this?

Hello Yerevantsi,

I was thinking about creating an article about Armenians in Iranian Azerbaijan/Azarbaijan. Armenians are amongst the native inhabitants of the region, the region made part of Greater Armenia numerous times (parts of it are part of the so-called cradle of Armenian civilisation), not even mentioning the fact that quite a few of the oldest Armenian churches, monasteries, and chapels are located within the region. Plus, theres a lot to write about Armenian villages/towns in the region, Armenian history in Tabriz (East Azerbaijan Province), Salmas, Khoy, the history of Dashnaktsutyun in the region, etc, etc, etc just a mention a few more things.

Basically, this article can be added then to the already existing template section which mentions 'traditional areas of settlement.

Let me know what you think about this.

@LouisAragon: Hello! You are free to create that article, but if you're asking my personal opinion, I don't think it's necessary. It'd be better to improve Iranian Armenians#Azerbaijan. --Երևանցի ^talk 09:24, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Hey Yerevantsi, excuse me for the belated response, been quite busy and thus had forgotten to reply. I will take your comment definitely in consideration when I'm about to write down the info regarding Armenian history in that region. ;-) Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 17:16, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Just noticed this

Heh, I just saw this edit summary of yours on my watchlist. I think the editor (no idea who) meant that the Armenians in Iran are kinda "native" like the ones in the Ottoman Empire and "Turkey" are, as they have been living there for so long, and have a native presence in regions of it for millennia. Anyway, it wasn't well formulated at all, so, good you changed it. :-) Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 02:13, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Armenians aren't, in fact, a diaspora in norther Iran, but the Tehran and Isfahan communities are no different from those of Moscow and Tbilisi. The same goes for Turkey. Armenians weren't a diaspora in Van, but they were and have always been a diaspora in Istnbul, because it has never been part of the Armenian homeland.--Երևանցի ^talk 07:41, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

I would argue that Tbilisi Armenians are also not a diaspora. The majority of that city's population was once Armenian, and that community formed long before the modern nation states of Georgia or Armenia were created. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 04:08, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Ararat

I appreciate your work on the article, but I urge you to steer clear of low grade popularist or religious sources. I am writing this with the memory of an unhappy experience of being involved as a researcher for the dreadful Joanna Lumley's disgustingly amateurish "The Search for Noah's Ark", in which every historical fact provided was dismissed and replaced by fiction and cliché. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 17:40, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

You're probably referring to the Southwestern Adventist University source, which you rightfully called fundamentalist? I agree that it is written by ultra-conservative Christian authors, but how does that nullify their statement (The European tradition (accepted by most Western Christians today) places the ark on "Mount Ararat" in eastern Turkey)? In fact, in their conclusion, their argue against the Ararat case. --Երևանցի ^talk 17:56, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I'm referring to that (and to a few other sources and wording used as well - but primarily that source). If the content is true, there will be more legitimate sources that contain the same claim and that don't contain the fringe religious fundamentalist claims/content that invalidate that source. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 04:05, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Hey

Does this already has an article? --Bolter21 (talk to me) 21:50, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

About the article Agop Dilâçar

I found an article titled Յակոբ Մարթաեան, does it refer to Agop Dilâçar? Sorry I asked this question because though his birth and death year mentioned on the Armenian article is the same as these mentioned in Agop Dilâçar, they might not refer to the same person, Dilâçar, who was a renowned Armenian linguist, and I don't understand Armenian at all, and you're a native Armenian speaker.--RekishiEJ (talk) 13:45, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, it seems from the Armenian wiki article that Hakob Martayan (Յակոբ Մարթայեան) is Agop Dilâçar. --Երևանցի ^talk 15:34, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

But the surname mentioned in the Armenian article is Մարթայեան, which is different from that mentioned in the English article: Մարթաեան. Is it because the former uses the reformed orthography, but the latter uses the classical one? By the way, I've merged the wikidata page of hy:Յակոբ Մարթայեան (Q21201820) with that of Agop Dilâçar (Q395340).--RekishiEJ (talk) 04:14, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
