recent troll account

Hi dear Archives, sorry that you had to deal with troll account leaving messages like this in your talk page. They should get reported and banned for vandalism edits and threats on the talk page. Btw wanted to suggest easier way to deal with vandalism reverts: You can select the first edit and last edit before the vandalisms, and click "compare selected revisions" (here for example, comparing your edit to the vandals' last edit). Then click "undo", and give your standard edit description (in this case, instead of "undo" being above your name, it would've been above vandals' name). That would revert all the vandal edits without the need to do it one by one. Hope this helps, cheers. ZaniGiovanni (talk) 04:32, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi ZaniGiovanni, I agree- that user is clearly POV pushing. And thank you, that is a very big help. I feel embarrassed to say that I wasn't even ware of that useful time saver, it is much appreciated! And thank you for all your contributions to this encyclopedia! Cheers, Archives908 (talk) 14:19, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Update- I just reported the vandal! Archives908 (talk) 14:43, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Nice! Not gonna lie, wikipedia can be confusing sometimes. At first I used to think that you can only revert multiple edits by having the rollback rights. But there are some ways as I learned eventually like this one (hope my scuffed grammar wasn't an issue in understanding the method), and also you can try enabling Twinkle from the Gadgets section of Preferences. It all works with the same "compare selected revisions" tool in the Revision history.

If you'll need any help, please leave a message on my talk page. With best, ZaniGiovanni (talk) 17:03, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

You're amazing, thanks again for the tips ZaniGiovanni! FYI- the POV user is now blocked. Archives908 (talk) 18:13, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Another list for deletion

Hey, I saw you voted in the deletion nomination for the big tent political party list. Thought you might be interested in voting on another nomination as well as it was submitted by the same person for the same reason at almost the same time. Feel free to chime in, whichever way you want to vote: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of syncretic political parties -AndreyKva (talk) 01:52, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Yea, I saw that, thanks AndreyKva. I just commented- none of the deletion requests make any sense to me. Regards, Archives908 (talk) 02:19, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello

@Archives908 Sire, i have noticed that you placed the foreign relations file below the political infobox of Armenia. this recent edit is twitching my eye. because, i am trying to put the nations' relations file as first in "float-preview" feature. Readers would usually prefer to find the svg file first.. Utkarsh555 09:23, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

I get what you are trying to do. The only thing is, the placement of the map makes the article layout very awkward. In this case, we have a floating map right at the top, before even the lead. It's bizarre. I also don't think having a map as the float preview image will significantly increase readership of the article. I'm not opposed to your changes, but, you must realize that it creates an awkward layout of the article. So, we must figure out, what is the lesser of two evils? Not having the map as the float preview -or- creating an awkward layout? Archives908 (talk) 15:56, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

@Archives908 Ok. If possible by you, then can you make the article such that the "politics" template stays above the relations file, but the file appears first in float feature, because how much i am trying, the picture from the politics template is appearing first, rather the file. so, if you can fix that thing, i would be immensely grateful! Utkarsh555 15:13, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Utkarsh555, I don't know how to do that, but I will do some research to see if I can figure it out. Please do the same, because I think showing your map as the preview image will be a good improvement. We just need to figure out how to achieve that without changing the current layout. Thanks! Archives908 (talk) 16:55, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

@Archives908 Thank you very much! i am happy to cooperate with you, Sire! Utkarsh555 16:57, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Utkarsh555 thank you :) I hope we can figure it out! Archives908 (talk) 17:02, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

@Archives908 Hello! sire, while working of the foreign relations issue, i worked out and found that if we could edit the "Template:Politics of Armenia" instead i was thinking, why not do some twitching with the code of the template itself? I am not scared, but worried: that what if someone finds it disruptive? and block me? so, i guess, we should first do that in our respective sandboxes, and then reach a cemented conclusion. Utkarsh555 15:39, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Utkarsh555. I will leave that project to you since I have zero experience with altering code. If you practice in your sandbox, you will not be blocked. Good Luck and let me know if you discover anything. Although, at this point, I think it would be easier to just either leave the image where it is or move it above the template. Archives908 (talk) 16:08, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

@Archives908 as you wish, I am glad that you took a point of min in keeping the image above template. If you have no problem, then surely, I am glad to do it! Thanks for the conversation, sire!

հաջողություն ձեր հետագա խմբագրումների համար: հարգանքներով, նոսրացնում է Հնդկաստանը Դելիից😁😁 Utkarsh555 09:59, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Utkarsh555, the only problem with that is creating the awkward layout. It would still be better if we could find an alternative solution. If there is no other solution, then I am not opposed to your edit. I will try and help when I have some time. 😁 Thank you, friend! Archives908 (talk) 14:20, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

@Archives908 one way that is coming in my mind is to edit the template. I can find no other solution as of now. Meanwhile, I whil continue to edit the template sample in my sandbox. I would be glad, if you too could come up with an alternative, and then sort it out, settle it down. Ok, I will do this by 20th March of some work, then finally messaging you the decison.

Utkarsh555 14:35, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Sounds great! Thank you. Archives908 (talk) 16:14, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

@Archives908 Sire, so now, after [even fully draining out myself from Holi festivel], i again took the issue of the template and foreign relations. befor holiday, i tried/experimented several times, but the output is coming out to be the same. I tried changing the format somewhere, but it looks like the svg file of Armenian coat of arms is coving the initial preview. since both the files are svg in the article, the first svg file is blocking the second. I am now suggesting for that "weirdo" code layout which you mentioned at earlier. Utkarsh555 08:14, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Greetings, friend. In all honesty, the article, float image, and layout is fine as it is. We both tried to find a solution, but I do not have the time to continue with this. There is nothing wrong with maintaining the Armenian coat of arms as the default float image. Placing the map above the template is bizarre as it is literally floating right on top beside no other text, it looks sloppy. I think keeping the map in the lead is far better and visually more acceptable. Take care, Archives908 (talk) 13:55, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

@Archives908 ok sire, thanks, i got it. Utkarsh555 03:14, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Euro-Atlantic partnership council is my school assignment

Hi there, I don’t know who you are, but I’ve noticed you have deleted all of my works on Euro- Atlantic Partnership Council wiki page, I know you may not agree with what I’ve edited, but edited and publish this wiki page is my school assignment, so could you please leave it for me and my classmate to edit without doing anything. Thank you so much. 2604:3D08:6E7E:9A00:B50B:2AD8:F63E:B77C (talk) 04:00, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Your edits are not constructive, nor are they being done properly. You keep adding sources using copy and paste techniques, you fail to right edit descriptions, and you have ignored my warnings about removing the article's lead several times. Just because you have a "school assignment" does not justify your disruptive edits. If you continue, I will be forced to report your account/and this ip address to the Admins. Archives908 (talk) 15:29, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure who the anon is, but I assume it's someone connected with MingyueH. They've contacted me by email, since apparently they forgotten the parts of the training that warn against unsourced additions and edit warring. Please ping me if you run into problems with students - I tend to have a better chance of reaching people who end up with this misconception about the assignment.

Sorry about this mess. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:00, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Ian (Wiki Ed), thanks for your message. Whoever this ip is, I also suspect they are connected with MingyueH and now using an account and an ip to push their edits. They are causing quite the disturbance on Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council‎, despite several warnings. Another editor had to revert an edit due to copyright violations. On top of that, there are no edit summaries, no sources, and they keep removing the lead- while ignoring all warnings. Either they start to understand the general Wikipedia ethos and cease with the disruptive edits, or we may have to report them if they continue to ignore warnings. Thanks for reaching out! Regards, Archives908 (talk) 17:35, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

I saw the copyvio issue that Diannaa had to deal with. Since they emailed me, I'm hopeful things will be sorted out, but if not I have no problem using blocks, partial blocks, or semiprotects to handle disruptive editing. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:01, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Reply for last message

I’m sorry for remove the lead, because I’m not familiar with how to edit a wiki page, and because me and my group members are editing the wiki page together, so we are editing it little by little, when you see the page, we were taking a break or switching a person to keep editing, our assignment will due next Wednesday, hope you could give us a chance to finish all. 2605:8D80:446:93F2:C954:2E79:C427:205 (talk) 17:40, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

If your edits are constructive, well sourced, and do not violate copyright rules then I see no problem. However, the article will have to be restored to the current stable version if you continue to ignore warnings/add copyright content. I recommend you ensure you are well versed with Wikipedia policies before you continue your edits to the page. Archives908 (talk) 17:46, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, i saw you have added a logo to the sidebox on Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council page, but we couldn't find that image on Wikicommons, i'm not sure if that it okay to be there. MingyueH (talk) 05:40, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

MingyueH, I have uploaded it using the proper channels. I have been editing on Wikipedia for several years and am fairly knowledgeable with best practices. I recommend you continue to acquaint yourself with the Wikipedia ethos and stop using multiple accounts/IP's to make changes. Archives908 (talk) 13:41, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Armenia list

Hi, don't you think its more informative to have a table that lists the countries chronologically instead of just listing them? --Semsûrî (talk) 13:08, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

• Hello Semsûrî! I see you have been generating such lists for foreign relations related articles and your contributions are improvements to those articles as many of them did not have a lot of information to begin with (especially for smaller countries) and/or were very poorly organized, often a chaotic mess. However, Foreign relations of Armenia has a lot more sourced information, and is generally well organized, as compared to other such articles. I've also noticed that foreign relations articles' differ greatly (in terms of quality and layout) among one another and there is no set standard to judge each one too. I have been working on Foreign relations of Armenia for several years (since 2018 and still on-going, granted at a slow pace) trying to improve the scope of it. To blanket remove information regarding embassies/diplomatic missions, relations, and other pertinent notes is worrisome. To replace it with a chronological list (at least in this case) may not be necessary, in my opinion. Kind regards, Archives908 (talk) 13:39, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Perhaps removing info from the tables was wrong, but I considered that info to be redundant now with the chronological list as they only contained info on the date of establishing diplomatic relations (the info on embassies must have been unsourced). I still believe the table I added is more informative than the current list under the "Countries with diplomatic relations"-section. Nonetheless, I won't continue with my push. Also, the first and third map on the article depict the same thing and one should be removed. --Semsûrî (talk) 14:24, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your understanding and your equally hard work towards improving such articles! Yes, indeed you are right in regards to the image duplication. User Utkarsh555 has been generating maps and adding them to almost every single "Foreign relations" article. From what I understand, the user is trying to figure ways to "float-preview" the image, without adjusting current layouts/moving any lead templates of the articles'. Apparently, he is sandbox testing ideas. I will allow the user to continue his trials, but if no progress is made, I'll remove the duplicate map in due course. Cheers, Archives908 (talk) 19:29, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Armenian Revolutionary Federation

Hi. I just wanted to note that the point of my edit that created a redlink on Armenian Revolutionary Federation was to help WP:BUILD by providing a redlink that should potentially have a page or redirect created for it. {{Interlanguage link}} will automatically hide the external link (unless told not) if or once the redlink page is created. Perhaps this isn't a useful link for the English Wikipedia and I don't intend to edit war over it, though I may potentially inadvertently make a similar edit in the future if this page is in the WP:AWB list again. Happy editing, Ost (talk) 22:46, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

I understand and thank you for the explanation. I only reverted because I felt having the redlink in the infobox for such a prominent political party served less useful then having an inter-language link. Should the corresponding article ever be created in English Wikipedia, I'd be happy to adjust the link accordingly. Cheers! Archives908 (talk) 22:55, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Ethnic groups in Europe

I see you have twice reverted editing without explanation. You may have good reasons for insisting on including material about ethnic groups in western Asia in that article, but there certainly aren't reasons for doing so which are obvious enough to justify repeatedly inserting the material without explaining why. I also see that you have reported the editor whose edits you have been reverting for "vandalism", but I can't see any reason to think that removing the information about people in Asia is done in bad faith. JBW (talk) 17:25, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

I simply restored the article as information was removed/changed without any explanation first. You seem quick to point out that I did not provide any explanations, yet the IP who began removing content without explaining gets a pass. Double standards? Archives908 (talk) 18:07, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

And what about the perfectly fine map? Again, the IP provides zero explanation for its removal/replacement. The previously used map should be restored and the IP should take their concerns (which remain unknown to all of us) to the talk. Archives908 (talk) 18:19, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Per WP:BRD, the IP should have discussed their proposals following the initial reversion. Archives908 (talk) 18:37, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

The Distribution of major languages of Europe has been modified to the 'rectified distribution of major language of Europe' hence the term 'rectified'. This map is the current status-quo.

Some of the reasons for this:

1) the rectified map uses dashed lines to show where languages coexsist rather than patches making it more accurate for potential distribution + aesthetically easier to visualise

2) Distribution of the Sami languages and tatar is more accurate in the rectified map

3) The old map suggests Britton is solely spoken in the NW peak of France which is inaccurate

4) Kurdish is not a european language

5) Old map makes a mess of caucasian & altaic languages

6) Old map shows German aswell as other languages as native in east russia which is misleading.

Please stop edit warring and accusing/ reporting IPs of 'vandalism' on no grounds

If you have a valid reason for why the old map is more accurate please do share, but all indications lead to the 'rectified' map being far more accurate and simplified for valuable and understandable ease. Academic10 (talk) 23:38, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Technical Assistance to the CIS

I understand why you reverted my first change, but why bother re-adding that line about the EU being the single largest foreign assistance donor in the world? How is that relevant to the article? General Lemarc (talk) 06:55, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

I restored the whole thing because your edit summary was pretty vague. Care to explain the removal of "TACIS is now subsumed in the Global Europe programme"? As for the second sentence regarding aid, it may not serve a purpose in the article- but technically the information is correct. I'm not opposed to its removal, I just didn't understand the removal of the first part. Archives908 (talk) 18:30, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

The first part was because I had misunderstood the subject of the article. I read "Technical Assistance to the CIS" and assumed this was a program by the CIS for the CIS. I glazed over the parts where the article explained that this was a European-run program, so later on when I saw the first line I assumed it was either made up or disinformation about the evils of Europe, given that I believed that this was a purely CIS program. It made no sense and deserved to be reverted. The second one, though, has no bearing on the topic except to color perception of it, which isn't something articles should do. General Lemarc (talk) 21:56, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

No worries, thanks for the explanation. I will not oppose if you wish to remove the second part regarding EU aid. Thanks! Archives908 (talk) 22:16, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Reversion clarification

Hello there! @Archives908

Thank you for your reversion to the edit; I believe explaining here will be more appropriate. I am still uncertain I why you reverted it, nonetheless I will accept it. The terms Russophilia and Pro-Russian are synonymous, yes, but if you do not mind explaining that will be helpful. Kevin9217 (talk) 15:35, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, Kevin9217 :) Thanks for seeking clarification here. I completely agree with you that the terms "Russophilia" and "Pro-Russian" are synonymous. However, if you look at other "Pro-Russian" political parties in Armenia, all their respective infoboxes use the term "Pro-Russian" (Prosperous Armenia, Republican Party of Armenia, Voice of the Nation (Armenia), Towards Russia Party, Constitutional Rights Union, etc...). Therefore, I believe it's best to be consistent throughout. It doesn't make sense to use "Russophilia" in one article, while a dozen others use "Pro-Russian". Hope that clears things up!

Please review policies

Dear Archives908,

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I appreciate you taking the time to identify my typos and pointing me to certain Wikipedia policies that I was unaware of.

There seems to be some friction between us regarding the article European Union Mission in Armenia:

A) curly/straight brackets: you are right to point out that I repeatedly mix-up curly and straight brackets. I have improved this and will continue working on this. I apologize for my oversights and will continue looking at this.

B) style and content: You have reverted my edits a few times independent of the curly/straight-brackets issue, putting the following in the edit summary "these are not improvements." and "please familiarize yourself with higher standards of editing!"

i) you have implemented grammatical errors when you have tried to correct my mistakes.

ii) you have not provided reasons for reverting my edits or have remained vague "these are not improvements" or "So many sloppy mistakes made to this well written article....please familiarize yourself with higher standards of editing!"

It is important to provide clear reasons in the Edit Summary when removing content, especially removing content multiple times within 24 hours.

Please consider reading the following before removing content: WP:RVREASONS, WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT, and MOS:SECTIONSTYLE

Additionally, the policy you cited WP:GNG adjudicates whether or not a new article is merited rather than the content of an already existing article.

I would like our relationship to remain cordial because I genuinely appreciate your contributions but you have not pointed to a Wikipedia policy that supports your removal of the content in European Union Mission in Armenia.

I hope you have a great day!!! Humanatbest (talk) 17:43, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

There would be no friction if you could please take the time to review your edits before you click "publish". After almost a dozen times, I am still having to advise you about MOS:CURLY/MOS:STRAIGHT. It is very frustrating that you keep adding curly quotes after several warnings. I understand you have only been editing Wikipedia for 6 months on about ~10 articles, however, this is an easily fixable solution. If you can just spare an extra minute reviewing your edits, I wouldn't have to clean up all the curly quotes afterwards. Others may think its silly, but I do not. In regards to European Union Mission in Armenia, I have restored 99% of your edits after having to clean up some mess. For example, you added additional countries to the Contributing states section that were randomly placed. If you took the time to actually understand the layout, you would have noticed that countries are listed alphabetically. I did not understand the logic of rearranging countries and making an alphabetical list, non-alphabetically listed. Please explain your rationale of this, because to me, it seems pretty reckless and that is why I called your edit sloppy. Regarding your comments about "removing information in 24hrs", you should know that removing information within 24hrs is totally acceptable- so long as you do no violate WP:3RR. I have never violated 3RR in regards to your additions and as stated previously, I have restored 99% of your added text after I had to fix 1) multiple curly quotes 2) alphabetically arranging text and 3) fixing the same full length source being used three times (leading to WP:ILCLUTTER). Please familiarize yourself with how to add the same source (being used multiple times) properly as your edit caused unnecessary clutter. In terms of omitted content, "The mission is required to inform the EU Special Representative before each patrol on a weekly basis, who then informs the Azerbaijani side to ensure safety" is the only significant text which I did not restore. I believe it contradicts WP:NOTEVERYTHING in the sense that it is not particularly useful information that will overall benefit the reader towards understanding EUMA. The duties and responsibilities of EUMA are already sufficiently highlighted in the article. Therefore, more mundane/ trivial information does not seem to serve much purpose. As you can see, I thought all of this would be self-evident to you, but I guess I was mistaken. Not only are edit descriptions not mandatory (per WP:ES), but understandably so, it is impossible to summarize all this in one edit summary. Which is why I'm glad you brought this up here. Please take the time to read, digest, and comprehend these basic Wiki norms and ethos. Finally, in terms content regarding a specific article, some editors feel strongly that those discussion(s) (per WP:TALK) be kept to the respective article's talk page rather than the editor's personal talk page. Some are very picky about that. I hope these tips serve you well. Regards, Archives908 (talk) 21:07, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Moldova's observer status (Eurasian Economic Union)

Hello, Archives908. The source I provided are the statements of president Maia Sandu herself. She explains very well the situation regarding Moldova's status in relation to the Eurasian Economic Union. Here's an article in Russian (interview with president Maia Sandu):

https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/5060868?query=%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%83

Translation:

V. Solovyov - Let's deal with the Eurasian Economic Union. You refused to participate in the meeting of the heads of state of the EAEU, but at the same time Moldova is an observer there. Or is not? I can not understand. Everyone considers her an observer, but the Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration says that not all procedures have been completed. What didn't pass? Why?

M. Sandu - No procedures have been completed ...

V. Solovyov - And what?

M. Sandu - It was the decision of the previous president (Igor Dodon. - Kommersant ). He signed something there, and nothing else happened. There are internal procedures of the Republic of Moldova that did not take place.

V. Solovyov - What are the procedures?

M. Sandu - I can’t tell you exactly, you can check according to the laws of the Republic of Moldova, but what I know is that nothing else happened than some document signed by the previous president. And we do not believe that this process has been completed.

V. Solovyov - Is Moldova an observer in the EAEU, a little observer or not an observer at all?

M. Sandu - If the process is not completed, then no.

V. Solovyov - Will it be completed? Does it need to be completed?

M. Sandu - We are not considering this issue.

V. Solovyov - The fact that the procedures are not completed, was the reason that you did not take part in this meeting of the EAEU? And yet, your answer to the question whether Moldova should be an observer in the EAEU is yes or no?

M. Sandu - You can ask our Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the procedure.

And here's another article in Russian (interview with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Moldova, Nicu Popescu):

https://ava.md/2021/11/18/popesku-na-nashey-territorii-ne-dolzhny/

Translation:

A. Venediktov - And what is the story that you either remain in the EurAsEC, or return, or stick, I don’t understand.

N. Popescu - Moldova has never been part of the EurAsEC. Moldova is part of the CIS.

A. Venediktov- And it remains.

N. Popescu - And it remains part of the CIS. And we are participating in the CIS, and last week our prime minister participated in (inaudible) That is, we are participating in the CIS. Our commercial relations with Russia are determined by the agreements we have in the CIS. And we proceed from this. Previously, the previous Moldovan president signed a document that suggests that Moldova became an observer in the EurAsEC.

Venediktov- That was my question.

N. Popescu - But Moldova is a parliamentary republic. And not a single procedure of intra-institutional, domestic political coordination has been passed.

A. Venediktov - Are you a supporter of this, your current government?

N. Popescu - I am a supporter of good relations with Russia.

A. Venediktov - That is, you are a supporter ...

N. Popescu - Participation in the CIS ... You know, we ...

A. Venediktov- From an economic point of view, we are talking about the economy.

N. Popescu - From an economic point of view, we have all the parameters, all agreements go through the CIS. And we are not yet in a situation where the full potential of our CIS agreements is being realized. Because we also proceed from the fact that symbolism is symbolism, but we must have pragmatic possibilities for resolving issues. And at the moment, what we have seen is that there was a lot of symbolism around the EurAsEC. But in fact, the main issues of commodity exchange still occur through the CIS and bilaterally.

This does not confirm that Moldova is not an observer member. If anything, the President seems very unsure of Moldova's status and cannot seem to give a clear answer to the reporter. Secondly, please do not engage in an edit war on Eurasian Union. I've asked you to provide additional sources on that articles talk page (not mine!) to confirm whether or not Moldova is an observer member. Understand? Archives908 (talk) 14:20, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Unless you provide any documents proving that Moldova is indeed an observer member to the Eurasian Union (and unless you are a troll), please do not keep reverting this back. We currently have some statements of a former president saying that Moldova was granted an observer member vs. the statements of the current president and foreingn ministry of Moldova fully clarifying the issue. Lexutz (talk) 17:59, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

President and foreign minister of Moldova clearly state that the Moldovan internal procedures have NOT been completed (haven't even started!) and that Moldova is NOT an observer member to the Eurasian Union. Lexutz (talk) 18:01, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

That's not how Wikipedia works. There are already sources within the article which confirm that Moldova is an observer member of the EAEU. Therefore, it is up to you to provide the necessary information which shows otherwise. Archives908 (talk) 18:08, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Armenian Hockey League

Sorry if your edits got wiped out together with the vandalism. I have been cleaning up mass vandalism done to multiple articles by one account. Please restore any edits you've made. Graywalls (talk) 21:49, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

No problem- most of the edits you reverted were actually beneficial to the article (a reflist, the official acronym, and the native name). Those are GF edits- not vandalism. Please be more selective with your reverts. Cheers! Archives908 (talk) 21:53, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Have you tried to fact check any of the changes they made in Special:Diff/1143967185? I am unable to verify it, as is the case with all the edits that particular user made. Graywalls (talk) 21:56, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

I found this source [1] which lists 5 teams different then the ones listed in the wiki article. The source is current (from April 2023)...just not sure if all/some of the teams currently listed in the wiki article are invalid or not? I also found a website titled "Armenian Hockey League" (ahl.life). It seems the teams listed there also match the online source I found. Do you think the website is the legitimate website representing the AHL? Either we change the team names according to the source/website or wait until we know with greater certainty. I can continue doing more research over the next few days. If you have the time, I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks! Archives908 (talk) 23:20, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

I would guess what you found is correct. I assume good faith; however the editor Yeezard (talk · contribs) in question has been adding gibberish everywhere. This is a conclusion I have come to after checking listed sources on one of their edits failing fact check; then checking their another edit that also failed fact check, then again and again. Graywalls (talk) 23:28, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry to hear that- I do not know what Yeezard has been up too, but I'm glad that you caught onto it. Hopefully, the "damage" isn't too extensive. As for the AHL article, it is on my watchlist, that's why I was drawn to your edit. Anyways, I will conduct more research over the next couple days and make changes accordingly. If you disagree with any changes or find other sources which may help to improve the article, please do let me know! Regards :) Archives908 (talk) 00:07, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I've noticed your frequent work in many articles about country lists. I have been looking for someone to write a closing summary of the RfC at Talk:List of African countries by population. It is the first RfC that I ever started, so the form of the question may prevent a clear consensus. But some sort of outside opinion would be very helpful.

For 2018 Armenian elections

Hey Archives908, if you're interested in why it was 132 seats, here is a good source explaining it: "There will be 132 lawmakers in the new parliament of Armenia, while in the current National Assembly this number is 105. The reason is that the My step bloc received over 70% of the vote, while according to the Electoral Code the opposition cannot have less than 1/3 of the mandates in the National Assembly. As a result of the calculations, it turns out that the "My step" bloc will have 84 mandates, and also, it will have 4 more mandates that should be given to representatives of national minorities. Thus, this bloc in the National Assembly will have 88 mandates. According to preliminary calculations, the two other forces that passed to the parliament - the Prosperous Armenia Party - will get 10, and "Bright Armenia" - 7 mandates, but they will receive additional mandates. Thus, the mandates in the NA will be distributed as follows: My step - 88, Prosperous Armenia - 26, Bright Armenia - 18." In other words, 101 seats is the standard but is actually raised in the event of circumstances such as the opposition not having 1/3 mandates like in 2018.

Personal attack?

Excuse me, but how did I personal attacked you? You writing at your page you are Armenian, so its a fact and it means you are not objective. I am from Slovakia so I am neutral and Nagorno-Karabakh currency should not be pictured as only at the main page of List of circulating currencies. Nagorno-Karabakh is country which de facto not exist and so to have photo of currency of Nagorno-Karabakh is nonsense. From January 1st, the country wont exist even as unrecognized republic. The president of Armenia's self-declared Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, Samvel Shahramanyan, has signed a decree to dissolve all state institutions from January 1, 2024. It means also currency wont exist. I really dont know for what you fighting here. Dasomm (talk) 16:49, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

You are automatically assuming that my edits are WP:NPOV based solely on my ethnicity. That is a gross misrepresentation and a discriminatory accusation per WP:WIAPA (please read this policy carefully). You should not make such assumptions as that discredits me as an editor that has made over 16,000 contributions to this project. Using someone's affiliations/backgrounds as a means of dismissing or discrediting their edits is a violation of policy. So please stop. As for the Artsakh dram, it is still considered legal tender. Events and negotiations are still on-going. We can not WP:CRYSTALBALL and guess what will happen. For all we know, the currency may be used along with the Azeri manat. We just don't know what will happen until January. Therefore, it is better to wait until things become more clear. Archives908 (talk) 17:04, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

I hope when everything will be crystal clear, in January you wont have any problem to delete Artsakh dram from the list. Dasomm (talk) 17:09, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Unless it still exists come January! The Azeri's are discussing the "reintegration" of Artsakh. As such, we do not know how much autonomy the region will have? They may still be able to keep a functioning local government and currency. We will see...Archives908 (talk) 17:13, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Then why did you revert the Abkhazian apsar usage instead of Artsakh dram in 28th of September for the concerns of Artsakh dram may not be in the usage anymore?

They both hold the same purpose anyway, no knowledge is being deleted. Just the example is being changed.

Explicitly trying to use Artsakh dram feels like being not-objective to me too, to be honest. Mavreju (talk) 08:40, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

I have no objection to the addition of the Abkhazian apsar, you can go ahead and re-add it but do not remove the Artsakh dram. I have fixed the tense of the sentence to past tense in order to reflect current events. Archives908 (talk) 15:41, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your clear and sincere message! Mavreju (talk) 15:49, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

I added Abkhazian apsar as main example and also kept Artsakh dram. Can you please also check if the current one is okay?

I don't have any bad intention, trust me. I'm just trying to find the suitable and best alternative. It's just when a main example is based on something as past tense, it makes it seem like all of these currencies (and their similar counterparts) are in the past now. That's why I am trying to make it sound better. Mavreju (talk) 15:56, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

It's not a "main example" anymore- it is a part of a gallery now where we have multiple images. Only the Artsakh dram is in past tense- the others have their own descriptions. I don't think it's confusing considering the currencies are different and have different statuses. Archives908 (talk) 16:00, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Oh, I get what you mean.

Anyway, I made some changes, if you agree you can keep it, otherwise feel free to revert it.

Lots of love! Sorry for the prejudice earlier. Mavreju (talk) 16:03, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Excellent! I simplified the text a little bit. Hope this is resolved now. Thank you and take care :) Archives908 (talk) 16:08, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

What is wrong with what i dd

Yes i saw that you took out ambigious countries. However people can get confused and countries like Malaysia,Bangladesh,Uk,Sri Lanka, Bhutan are listed as both secular and religious by constiuttion. Why is it wrong if i add ambigious countries where both secular and religious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:A760:C500:B930:3162:1151:2BCE (talk) 02:50, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

I'm not opposed to the addition of ambiguous countries, however, I am opposed to poor edit quality. You have spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes, punctuation mistakes, capitalization errors, and are not following proper editing techniques. You should learn how to edit better in your sandbox, and then make your improvements. In the mean time, stop your disruptive editing! Archives908 (talk) 03:21, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi.

I would suggest you to stop removing my edits and let me edit and just clear off the grammer or spelling mistakes.

Perhaps you should explain to me what is wrong with my edits. I am not a frequent wikipedia user and therefore can have mistakes in edititng 2607:FEA8:A760:C500:B930:3162:1151:2BCE (talk) 03:53, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Nah, I'm good. It's better for new editors to learn, rather than me babysit them. As you can see below, the IP editor learned a lot and made their own improvements. It's AMAZING what people can achieve, when given the chance :) Also fyi- you shouldn't force others to do editing as Wikipedia is a WP:VOLUNTEER project.

Revert of edit

"Nearly all countries with territory in Europe have acceded to the Council of Europe, with the exceptions of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Vatican City, as well as states with limited recognition."

I removed Russia from the list as it was a member previously, so it had acceded, while the above makes it seem like it never had. 172.11.79.48 (talk) 12:24, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Basically acceded being a verb, the sentence is not correct because it implies the action of acceding was never done by Russia when it has.

If Russia is to be listed, the below makes better sense.

Nearly all countries with territory in Europe are members of the Council of Europe, with the exceptions of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Vatican City, as well as states with limited recognition. 172.11.79.48 (talk) 12:36, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

It is within the authority of the minister of foreign affairs to recognise the genocide. It is an official statement. You removed it without a reason. 188.64.207.173 (talk) 19:57, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Blocked "DENOSIO" related..

Hello, you have been misunderstanding me all along.

As someone who has contributed to many visa policies and map production over the past 2 years, I have recently been focusing on defending and cleaning up the suddenly increasing number of successors to "DENOSIO."

I'm sorry you doubted me. However, I plan to continue to defend editors who deface visa pages in the future. Lades2222 (talk) 06:15, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

It's hard to keep track because DENOSIO has so many socks. And I noticed one particular edit you made which was very similar to what DENOSIO did on one of the pages I monitor, which raised concern. Sorry if you are legitimately not one of their socks. Keep on contributing! And I will keep on monitoring. Cheers, Archives908 (talk) 15:10, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

It probably seemed that way to you. Because I acted defensive every time he posted something. Currently, there are many successors to "DENOSIO".

He(or she) is active not only under multiple IDs but also through multiple IPs.

I suspect that a group of IP6s who have recently been active in the "Non-ordinary passports" section of several countries are also "DENOSIO". (I hope not.)

There seems to be a limit to how i can continue to block his numerous legs.

I would be grateful if 'the managers' could help me because I am already exhausted.

If you wish to proceed to draftify the article, I'm more than willing to assist, if you need help. Alternatively, if you have the desire to create the article yourself, by all means, don't let me stop you :) Archives908 (talk) 00:33, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

The information that was blanket deleted was well sourced and should not be sent into the total abyss. Although, I 100% agree with you that it does make the article painfully long. Archives908 (talk) 00:36, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Recent Performance of Olympiads is very very important

I am approaching in regard to the International Biology Olympiad's performance page which you have reverted.

Summary of performance is very very important, especially recent performances.

Number of participants or venue is not so important. If you are looking to save some space you can remove the summary table but not recent performance table.

Performance measurement is what olympiads are all about. I was surprised to see the entire page beats about the bush with useless information without the performance of countries. It's like watching Winter Olympics(Sports) without disclosing which country won how many medals. Ishandutta2007 (talk) 01:39, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

History of Nagorno-Karabakh

I added brief rules Khwarezmian Empire (1225-1231) and Ottoman Empire (first 1583-1606, second 1725-1736) with relevant Turkish references. But you undone them. Why ? You must explain.

In first article, last ruler of Khwarezmian Empire, Celal-Ed-Din Kharezmshah initially destroyed Eldiguzids (Atabegs of Azerbaijan) and laterly defeated Kingdom of Georgia at Battle of Garni (Now in Armenia) in 1225 and finally conquered Tbilisi in 1226. During this way, he conquered Karabakh in 1225.

In second one, Ottomans entered South Caucasus after invasion of Safavid Iran by Hotaki Afghans. They conquered Karabakh in 1725 and ruled as Ganja-Karabakh Eyalet until Turkish descended Iranian ruler Nader Shah regained in 1736. Cemsentin1 (talk) 20:50, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

The source you added talks about the province of "Karabakh" just once. It makes no mention of the "Khwarazmian Empire" ruling there. It says Turks migrated from Turkestan and mentions the Hun conquest of the Caucasus. Can you please find more in-depth sources? Per WP:RS, a source with very vague information is not reliable.

Turkey/Türkiye

With all due respect, I am aware of the consensus at the article on Turkey— I participated in that discussion. However if you are going to use the full name of a country, it should be the correct name. So it’s either “Turkey” or the “Republic of Türkiye”, because there is no longer a “Republic of Turkey”.

Hi AP 499D25- Thanks for letting me know. I, and others, have left warnings on their talk page but the IP immediately blanks the page.

A query as to List of European countries by membership in international organisations

Hello,

as a reason for your removal of my changes at List of European countries by membership in international organisations you wrote "nope- read the first sentence. This list is exclusive to countries mentioned at Europe.".

The first sentence in List of European countries by membership in international organisations is "This list depicts the membership of European countries in selected international organisations and treaties.",and the words "European countries" links to List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Europe.

In List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Europe,on the part "Boundary of Europe",it is writtern as follows:

"The island of Cyprus in Western Asia is close to Anatolia (or Asia Minor) but is often considered to be a part of Europe and is a member of the European Union. Like Cyprus, Armenia is also entirely in Western Asia but is a member of several European organisations."&

"The political boundaries of Europe vary with the definition of Europe that is used by different political organizations. For instance, the Council of Europe and the European Court of Human Rights include 46 countries in their definition of Europe. The European Higher Education Area includes 48 countries, and the European Cultural Convention and the European Olympic Committees include 50 countries in their definitions.".

As I wrote in the summary of my Edit,Israel is participating in many European organs&frameworks,and there are strong political and cultural ties to Europe.

Accordingly,I belive that my edit was appropriate,and I will be glad if you will adress the points in this massage.

Sincerly;

עמית לונן (talk) 16:47, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

p.s.:Enjoy the ESC first semi-final if you intend to watch it tonight;)

עמית לונן (talk) 16:47, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

First of all, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan all have small bits of territory in Europe. So they are always included in similar Europe-related articles. The same goes for Cyprus and Armenia because there are several, more expansive, definitions (both geographical and geopolitical) which place them within or partially in Europe. As per the established consensus at Europe, these countries may be placed in both Europe and Asia related articles. As for Israel, there are no geographical or political definitions which place them in Europe whatsoever. Being a member of one or two European organizations does not mean a country is European. Dozens of countries have signed various European agreements but that isn't enough to qualify them "European". For example, Algeria is a member of the EBU, but no one would classify the country as European. The same goes for Israel. And that is why Israel isn't included in any of the Europe-related articles here on Wikipedia. Hope that clears it up for you. Enjoy Eurovision as well! Archives908 (talk) 18:13, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Israel isn’t just a member of "one of two" European organisations,but is rather also assigned to Europe in many instances (not only Sport).

As to Armenia’s&Cyorus’s ties-what geographical reasons are there?? Those are indeed geographically close to Europe (Israel is also btw) but what else apart from that?? עמית לונן (talk) 18:29, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

It does not matter if Israel was a member of 1000 European organizations- there are NO geographical definitions of Europe which include Israel. Syria and Lebanon are closer geographically...you think those are European too? As for the South Caucasus, there are a few geographical definitions which include those countries within Europe, that is why those countries are included and Israel is not. Archives908 (talk) 18:47, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Well,what is written here in Wikipedia as to both Armenia and Cyprus is that both are in Asia and are considered "European" for reasons such as culture,and not geographically.

You can also see Here that in wikipedia there is content with merits as to the matter ("And that is why Israel isn't included in any of the Europe-related articles here on Wikipedia" [tho it’s an article about relationships discussion about membership is really beyond that]). עמית לונן (talk) 19:14, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Nato-occupied of Kosovo and Metohija IS the correct term in Collective Security Treaty Organization article

Nato-occupied of Kosovo and Metohija IS the correct term. See UN resolution 1244, imposes NATO forces occupying the Serbian province. Read the resolution and what it imposes on Serbia at a time. Also Kosovo is not part od UN so it is still Serbian province, under NATO rule, according to UN. So it is exact term describing foreign power military forces entering other country territory and occupying it. Minikola (talk) 06:52, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

About your reversion

The concept of Technical University is false cognate of Technische Universität or Technische Universiteit, as the German and Dutch words are much broader than the English "Technical". That's why almost all institutions in western Europe that are called TU, go by names such as Delft University of Technology, Vienna University of Technology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, etc. TU Berlin used to go by the name Berlin University of Technology, but it created issues with the acronym TU Berlin, so now the university only uses the German name (same as ETH oR KU Lueven, or EPFL). Furthermore the concept of Technical University is mostly used by Fachhochschule/Hogescholen (you can read here about that. Finally, while the name Technical University of Berlin has always been a mistranslation, it was more popular in the past, but it has clearly felt out of favor in the English language during recent years, precisely because of the aforementioned reasons. Nowadays, its impossible to claim that it would be the most common name (see here). SFBB (talk) 22:33, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Mediterranean: Cyprus

Hey. I hope you are doing well! Why do you keep putting Cyprus in the Europe category? It is not even in Europe. It is geographically located in West Asia so it makes the most sense to put in the West Asia category. TomTom7474 (talk) 23:42, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

I've already explained this to you. Yes, Cyprus is geographically in West Asia BUT IT IS ALSO considered part of Southern Europe based on geopolitical definitions. That is why, for over a decade, Wikipedia has a WP:CON which includes the country in BOTH. You can add it to both, but do not remove it from one or the other. I don't want to have to explain this a third time to you, so please try and comprehend this.

Also, when another editor reverts your edit you should seek a discussion on the talk page rather than engaging in an WP:EW. I know you are new here so please take the time to read WP:BRD. When your edit gets challenged, rather than reinstating it, you should always try and seek consensus first. Archives908 (talk) 00:26, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
