According to the George Bournoutian's book, the toponym of Azerbaijan was used in reference to the territory of the contemporary Republic of Azerbaijan long before 1918.

  • " "The term Azarbayjan which stands before this enumeration refers perhaps (italics mine) to the whole four provinces, similarly to the “Khorasan” in the north-east, although such an abusive use of the term (italics mine) would be incorrect and not supported by geographical works. In fact, the province of the governor-general of Tabriz alone covered most of the historical Azarbayjan.” Minorsky then lists the following districts as being under the Beglerbegi of Tabriz: Astara, Maragheh, Qarajedagh, Chors, Qapanat [present-day southern part of Zangezur in Armenia], **Hashtrud, Mishkin, Sarab, Ardabil, Salmas, Marand, Khoy, Urmiyeh, parts of Mughan and parts of Talesh--Bournoutian, George (2016).

Фатали-хан писал Екатерине II (в конце 1782 г.), что весь Азербайджан недоволен поступками царя Ираклия и Ибрагим-хана (заключением в тюрьму гянджинского и ереванского ханов). Он, Фатали-хан, «за должность свою признал, чтобы честь и право адырбайджанских ханов защитить».

Дербентский или Куба-хан есть из числа могущих, почитают его довольно богатым, сила его собственная состоит из 3000 человек, но к предприятиям важным против своих соседей призывает он как ближние Адербиджанские ханы, как-то: Нухинский, Ширванский и Шушинский, владельцев из Дагестана и приводит бродяг лезгинских…».


The term Azerbaijani (or Azeri) khanates is used by several authors: Swietochowski, Tadeusz (2004), "Azerbaijani khanates and the conquest by Russia", Russian Azerbaijan, 1905-1920: The Shaping of National Identity in a Muslim Community, Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, ISBN 0521522455,

In 1747 Nadir Shah, the strong ruler who had established his hold over Persia eleven years earlier, was assassinated in a palace coup, and his empire fell into chaos and anarchy. These circumstances effectively terminated the suzerainty of Persia over Azerbaijan, where local centers of power emerged in the form of indigenous principalities, independent or virtually so, inasmuch as some maintained tenuous links to Persia's weak Zand dynasty.

Thus began a half-century-long period of Azerbaijani independence, albeit in a condition of deep political fragmentation and internal warfare. Most of the principalities were organized as khanates, small replicas of the Persian monarchy, including Karabagh, Sheki, Ganja, Baku, Derbent, Kuba, Nakhchivan, Talysh, and Erivan in northern Azerbaijan and Tabriz, Urmi, Ardabil, Khoi, Maku, Maragin, and Karadagh in its southern part. Many of the khanates were subdivided into mahals (regions), territorial units inhabited by members of the same tribe, reflecting the fact that residue of tribalism was still strong.

In two wars between Russia and Qajār Persia in 1804–1813 and 1826–1828, the Russians conquered other Azerbaijani khanates.

The khanates of Ganja, Shirvan, Talysh, Baku, Karabagh, Sheki, Nakhchivan, Derbent, and Kuba disappeared, one after the other, for the most part during the 1830s and the 1840s, and the process of breaking up these traditional polities contributed to the weakening of deeply rooted local particularisms

Northern Azerbaijan

[edit]

Thus began a half-century-long period of Azerbaijani independence, albeit in a condition of deep political fragmentation and internal warfare. Most of the principalities were organized as khanates, small replicas of the Persian monarchy, including Karabagh, Sheki, Ganja, Baku, Derbent, Kuba, Nakhchivan, Talysh, and Erivan in northern Azerbaijan and Tabriz, Urmi, Ardabil, Khoi, Maku, Maragin, and Karadagh in its southern part. Many of the khanates were subdivided into mahals (regions), territorial units inhabited by members of the same tribe, reflecting the fact that residue of tribalism was still strong.

HoI vs Hew Folly

[edit]

I noticed that HistoryOfIran's complaint against me is complex as it contains many issues.Hence, I added a new topic since the complaint was not specifically related to GA/AA violations. To make it easier, I shortened the username to HoI and created tables.

WP:OR, WP:SYNTH and other rules

In his complaint, HoI claims that he repeatedly told me that my comments on a WP:RS was WP:OR and also WP:SYNTH[2]. On my page, he stated that I was posting WP:OR (or personal analysis) on a Wikipedia article'[3], but at the same time provided reference the talk page [4] [5] where I actually posted my comments.

The problem is that according to WP:OR, this rule does not apply to a Talk Page[6]. That's why I asked him directly whether a Wikipedia article is equal to a Wikipedia talk page[7]. He dodged the question, and then came up with other rules, accusing me of continuing to do the same thing. That time, he didn't put WP:OR, perhaps realizing his mistake.Sadly, the next day, that is today, he again accused me of violating WP:OR just because I wrote my comments on the Talk Page[8]. HoI also misleads another user telling him/her not to use WP:OR on a talk page.[9]

Source misrepresention


First, I want to remark that I provided a link to the book, and indicated the PDF pages[10]. In addition, I also specified what was written by the author, and what was written by me.

In his complaint, HoI writes that he posted the old diff supposedly for convenient reading[11]. I wonder why he didn't do it in other cases. The thing is, two minutes after his first accusation of me distorting the source, he left a comment on my page, mentioned above, in which he also accused me of "omitting" parts of the source[12]. And I responded to all of them. HoI, by his own admission, did not read the entire text, marking it as TL;DR[13]. And that was the first time he falsely used the WP:OR rule in relation to my comments on the Talk page[14]. There was no discussion of false interpretation, yet.

Later, he posted the copied text from the WP:RS book, the link of which I provided myself, claiming several times that I had allegedly 'misrepresented' the source because I had removed something from it. Later, he falsely claimed that I had “distorted the text” by removing the mention of WP:RS’s criticism of Azerbaijani scientists[15]. At that point, I realized that HoI had either not read my text, as he himself admitted, or was deliberately lying about the alleged falsification. In fact, not only did I correctly quote and interpret the text, but I also added a remark from the author of WP:RS[16], to which HoI himself did not completely refer in his misrepresenting remark[17], although it could have been to the advantage of his theses.The worst part is that I pointed this out to him several times [18][19][20] and he not only didn't admit his mistake but also wrote about in his complaint.

WP:TENDENTIOUS

I would like to remind you that the entire conversation took place on the Talk Page. Not on the article page. In his complaint, HoI claims that my comments were WP:Tendentious. [21]. This is not true, since I used various arguements. Basically, this complaint concerns the discussion of another topic - the reliability of Azerbaijani sources proper. According to HoI's claim[22], which he repeated in his complaint but with lesser sources[23], Azerbaijani sources cannot be considered reliable, by definition. I may be mistaken but I think that it is a form WP:Nationalist editing, specifically, this part[24].

My arguements were diverse.

From the very beginning [25] I pointed out to him that there is not a single rule in Wikipedia that would prohibit the use of any Azerbaijani source as such. In order to strengthen my position, I put forward the opinion of one historian who recommended adding Azerbaijani and Turkish sources[26]. HoI initially left it unanswered, manipulating the WP:OR rules, which I did not violate on a Talk page. HoI also mistakenly or falsely called the expert a philosopher[27], to which I responded[28].

The problem is that most of his sources are targeting individual cases, proper, not a nation, as a whole, which is what I also told him about[29]. I also believe that using such sources on a wikipedia page and interpreting them in the way HoI does is WP:SYNTH. But that is another topic.

He continued to make the same argument, although with the clarification that the Azerbaijani sources are unreliable due to the government interference[30].

In response, I told him that some sources from his list are related to Iran-governed institutions, despite the lack of academic freedom in the country[31]. I also pointed out that a number of his sources were written by dubious experts who have no connection to historical science[32]. Remarkably, he refers to them as 'leading experts'.[33]. 

In response to my comments, I got rudeness[34], accusation of 'hypocrisy'[35] and other violations of WP:NO personal attacks. However, it is another story.
