Disambiguation link notification for July 31
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Files missing description details
are missing a description and/or other details on their image description pages. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the images, and they will be more informative to readers.
If you have any questions, please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 16:08, 31 July 2013 (UTC)Better source request for some of your uploads
Thanks for your uploads to Wikipedia. There is an issue with some of them, specifically:
You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the images because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the images, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image files themselves. Please update the image descriptions with URLs that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 21:01, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
August 2013
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to an article, specifically Witnesses and testimonies of the Armenian Genocide, may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Werieth (talk) 20:56, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Blocked user asks for revenge
Since you reported the specific user (TD23), I believe it's necessary to inform you that he tries to 'enlighten;' a number of potential 'friends' (mostly co-ethnics), in order to save the mess he created in a variety of articles. Typical example [[1]] (he is begging to save his very edits in the same nationalistic style).Alexikoua (talk) 20:25, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

I want to let you know that I've begun the review for your GA nomination of Confiscated Armenian properties in Turkey at Talk:Confiscation of Armenian properties in Turkey/GA1. For some reason, the GA bot seems to be running slow today. --1ST7 (talk) 03:31, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Plagiarism and close paraphrasing
Hi. I'm afraid the Confiscated Armenian properties in Turkey article you contributed to has parts which are very closely paraphrased from Legislative Provisions of the Ottoman/Turkish Governments Regarding Minorities and Their Properties and other sources. This can be a problem under both our copyright policies and our guideline on plagiarism.
While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation – including both structure and language – are. For an example of close paraphrasing, consider the following: The source says:
- "The net result of this 'protection' law was the channeling of property 'owned' by the Turkish state to Muslims through rigged auctions, which often excluded even Muslims of non-Turkish origin."
The article says:
- "These auctions channeled the property unlawfully expropriated by the Turkish state to the general Muslim population through oftentimes 'rigged' auctions, which often excluded non-Muslims or non-Turkish Muslims."
or The source says:
- "Any litigant claiming property or revenues derived from its sale or rental would have the state as defendants."
The article says:
- "Any litigant claiming property of revenues derived from its sale or rental would have the state as defendants."
Here are diffs where you added this content 1 and 2. These are two examples; there are other passages that similarly follow quite closely.
As a website that is widely read and reused, Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously to protect the interests of the holders of copyright as well as those of the Wikimedia Foundation and our reusers. Wikipedia's copyright policies require that the content we take from non-free sources, aside from brief and clearly marked quotations, be rewritten from scratch. So that we can be sure it does not constitute a derivative work, this article should be revised to separate it further from its source. The essay Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid these issues. The article Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism".
Please let me know if you have questions about this. --AbstractIllusions (talk) 00:10, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello. Your recent edit to Atkinson, New Hampshire appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists.

Pənahabad coin
Hi . Your omition in article Shusha seems to delete an important image . As you know , there is an ongoing struggle between Armenian and Azeri sides about the history of the region . A coin with the text of Fathali shah is important in showing the loyalty [at least temporal] of the Azeri side to Qajars . As you wrote " I couldn't find image elsewhere. if anyone can find it...feel free to repost it to the article " , I did find the image in this address :The coin . It would be of great help to the article if you re-include the image to the article .
By the way , the article in Azeri Wikipedia about the coin is using the wrong image of copper coin (FULUS) instead of silver Pənahabad . Again I think showing the image in English Wikipedia can also correct the Azeri article .--Alborz Fallah (talk) 15:24, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of Ernest Yarrow at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know!
Hi Proudbolsahye, I'm sorry I can't pass this as it is. I think if you just make a final check of the sources, it should be okay. I'm a bit concerned about the neutrality too; for example, it doesn't seem necessary to quote so much from Ussher about what he heard, when this is a biography of Yarrow. I know nothing about this topic, so I'm willing to take neutrality issues on good faith (to some extent). Anyway, give me a shout when you've taken another run through the sourcing.

Thanks for the welcome. I added the criminal template and added what happened after the murder, which was on Zohrab's article.

Refugees of Hamidian massacre
I uploaded a cleaned up version of this image. It is here. I also left a note here. – JBarta (talk) 20:40, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
- Jbarta (talk · contribs), thank you so much for taking the time and effort to restoring the photograph. It looks great. The photograph has received a lot of attention since it portrays such a powerful emotion. I think we should do anything we can to restore or improve its quality so that it receives the FP status is deserves. Unfortunately, there have been some difficulties, as me and Centpaccr already recognized, which is making it extremely difficult to have a "perfect" rendition where everyone may support or oppose in unison. Oppose votes have ranged from complaints that the photograph was "too altered" or "not altered enough" with some stating that it shouldn't have been altered at all. I think this is a problem when it comes to FP nominations in general. If a photograph has been altered, voters will have their own alterations in their own mind which will never appeal to ones individual subjective point of view. It's become a true Catch 22. Proudbolsahye (talk) 21:37, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
- The basic problem is that the first "restoration" was pretty badly done. You may not notice it, but as you have seen... others did. Hopefully this new edit will be better recieved because it's a more straightforward cleanup... taking the time to do it well and not getting silly with destructive edits. I don't know if it will cross the FP threshold, but we'll see how it goes. If it gets no attention there, submit it as a new candidate after the current one expires. – JBarta (talk) 21:54, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Looking into various sources even briefly, it is clear that Turkification has various meanings: 1) removal of non-Turkish elements from a geographical area through deportation, killing, etc; 2) assimilation of non-Turkish people themselves; 3) both. It is also clear that Akçam (2012) uses the second definition, as Turkification being solely defined as assimilation (p. 29). Akçam (2012) does not define policy of "homogenization" as a policy of Turkification,[3] but defines Turkification as a sub-policy (the other being cleansing) of homogenization. Therefore, it is, again, falsification of sources to say "Non-Turkish minorities, such as the Armenians during the Armenian Genocide, and the Greeks during various campaigns of ethnic cleansing and expulsion, experienced policies of Turkification" and cite Akçam (2012) to support it. This is more relevant because you also added Turkification into the lead. And then you used Turkification in the body of article, suggesting it is a policy of genocide and ethnic cleansing, without any qualifiers. Does that mean ethnic cleansing and genocide began with Seljuk Turks in the 11th century?
This is a very simple point, and the issue could have been fixed easily. Yet, despite this, and despite multiple warnings you have persisted in falsifying sources. You have also deleted the page number in which Akçam (2012) defines Turkification, and changed the definition to fit the sentence you wrote based on that "the entire book is placed under the context that turkification and homogenization was one of the goals of the armenian genocide (per third party sources and taner akcam himself)" [4]. It is patently ridiculous that you changed a term an author specifically defines based on your perception of what the context is or based on third party sources. That is, again, falsification of the source.
I will go ahead and fix the text myself. However, me writing in your talk page was not about the text per se, but about your behaviour. You have been warned about your editing before by other users (eg: with respect to how use sources, "I'm trying to fix your long pattern of disruptive editing with chronic close paraphrasing and plagiarism (and keep my cool while doing so" 22:41, 20 September 2013). It is clear that my attempt at addressing your behaviour has failed, so I will not bother about this in your talk page anymore. But any future attempts at falsifying sources will be referred to ARBCOM. Cavann (talk) 23:11, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
- Once again, I am not "falsifying" sources. If you want to discuss what content disputes, please refer to the talk page of the article. My "behavior" is clearly aligned with basic wiki policies. Removing the page of the source to present a broader context of the book has nothing to do with bad behaviour, especially when I openly discussed the reason behind my edit in the talk page of the article.

Apologies and disengaging
Proudbolsahye, sorry for the outburst yesterday. It was after a long, tiring trip, but that is no excuse for being so jagged. My tolerance levels were lower than they should have been. However, it also alerts me to the fact that I probably can't constructively add to pages you've edited without having similar frustrations--and wikipedia doesn't pay well enough to be that frustrated. So I'll be disengaging from the discussions. I trust in your judgement in removing the tags from the appropriate pages when the problems are fixed and hope that you'll at some point begin changing writing style, fixing close paraphrasing on old pages it may have slipped in to, and not having articles which are 90% quoting original source material (see WP:SECONDARY and compare that to the Henry H. Riggs article). But you won't see me paying attention to those pages anymore--good luck with the editing. AbstractIllusions (talk) 01:29, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
- AbstractIllusions (talk · contribs), welcome back, I hope that your travels were well worth the jet lag :) There's no need for apologies. It's totally understandable. Such tedious and meticulous work can make us frustrated on both ends. More importantly, however, I have been more attentive towards my edits in my most recent articles. In fact, I have paid more attention to close paraphrasing of others as well (example: [5]). So I would like to thank you. I look forward to working with you in the future when our paths cross once again. Proudbolsahye (talk) 01:25, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Deportation of Armenian notables on 24 April 1915
The article Deportation of Armenian notables on 24 April 1915 you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Deportation of Armenian notables on 24 April 1915 for things which need to be addressed.

Overlong statement
Please see WP:AE#Cavann. As I pointed out in my comment there, your AE request is overlong. It should be no more than 500 words and 20 diffs. See the AE header, which states "Enforcement requests and statements in response to them may not exceed 500 words and 20 diffs, except by permission of a reviewing administrator." As to the need to notify you specifically of ARBMAC sanctions, I think that point is moot since you filed a complaint at AE about DragonTiger23 last July under the same Arbcom case. Thus you are clearly aware of the availability of sanctions under that case. If you wish to respond to this comment, please do so in the AE. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 17:39, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
- @EdJohnston: I have drastically reduced the number of words and diffs. In regards to responding to accusations, I feel that I must wait to see whether Cavann will keep them when he reduces his response. I will respond to the accusations accordingly.

Selam. Naber ? Uzun zamandır görüşemedik. İşim bayağı yoğun. Şimdi Esc2003 kullanıcı bi soruyu sordu da... bence Esc2003'ün dediği gibi Urartu maddesinde Ermenistan tarihi şablonunun ekli olması, bilgi kutusuna adların Ermenice karşılıklarını koymak uygunsuzdur. Mesela Saka maddesine History of the Turkic peoples şablonunun eklenmesi gibi bir durum. Gerç History of Tajikistan şablonu da uygunsuz :) Sence ? İyi çalışmalar.

Knowledge of Armenian language?
I think you are the one who needs to know more about the Armenian language.
Further to your knowlege about the Armenian language, there are few exeptions regarding some consonants following the letter Ր.
Hence:
- Գ after Ր pronounced K and not G. (example: SARKIS (ՍԱՐԳԻՍ) and not Sargis, GEVORK (ԳԵՎՈՐԳ) and not Gevorg)
- Դ after Ր pronounced T and not D. (example: VARTAN (ՎԱՐԴԱՆ) and not Vardan)
- Բ after Ր pronounced P and not B. (example: SURP (ՍՈՒՐԲ) and not Surb)
This name/article is a great example of correct pronunciation: Gevork Vartanian.
In some articles, the word եկեղեցի was transcribed as ekegkhetsi while the correct ways is yekeghetsi.
This is the correct pronunciation of the above mentioned words. Do not try to confuse or misslead the admins with the WP:COMMONNAME thing. This is not a matter of WIkipedia common nmaes. This is a matter of linguistics in the Eastern Armenian language (Հայերեն լեզվի հնչյունաբանություն).
Please check ou this link Ուղղախոսություն և ուղղագրություն:
