Tebriz khanete

@CuriousGolden:the founders of this Khanate added the Dunbilli nobility to this tribal Kurd.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donboli Frat070699 (talk) 15:27, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Frat070699 I'm having hard time understanding your sentence, please try to write with better grammar. I think you're claiming that Donbols established the khanate. Which is not true. No source is given to this anywhere, including that article which only has one source that's even remotely close to what you said and it's from Encyclopedia Iranica, which in itself does not mention anywhere that the khanate was a kurdish one. If you have specific quote from another reliable source, I'd be happy to hear it.

@CuriousGolden: I do not want to extend the issue too much. English dombili says on the page otherwise you can start by editing this page. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donboli Frat070699 (talk) 15:32, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

@Frat070699: I frankly don't enjoy having arguments as well, but unfortunately people don't always agree on stuff.

The page you linked does not have any reliable source for their claim. Even, hypothetically if they did, that would still not make the khanate a "Kurdish" khanate. Especially when the tribe is a turkic-speaking one. Ethnicity of ruler does not equal to what the country they're ruling over is.

Finally, you have provided a reliable source. I think we should mention in the article that the establisher of the Khanate was of Kurdish origin. But, still calling it a Kurdish Khanate, is very weird and wrong, as all the khanates of the time were considered "Caucasian Khanates" and would be better, for unbias sake, to be named like that. — CuriousGolden (talk·contrib) 20:32, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Azerbaijanis in Armenia

Hello CuriousGolden. You recently reverted my correction of 100,000 to 58,000 as the number of Azerbaijanis sent from Armenia to Kur/Araz in the 1947 scheme. Actually the Arseny Saparov article referenced - which is accessible through this link https://journals.openedition.org/monderusse/8604#xd_co_f=NGFkNGRiNTAtM2YyMC00Nzc4LTlhZTktNjBhZGMwYzAzMGU5~ says pretty clearly in paragraph 13 that the plan was for 100,000 but that according to Azerbaijani researchers reporting to the Academy of Sciences in Baku in 1970, the actual figure was 58,000. [M. M. Allakhverdiyev, A. K. Aleskerov, “Regularities of changes in the territorial distribution and occupational cross–sections of the population in the Azerbaijan SSR” in Materials on economic history of Azerbaijan (presented to the Vth International Congress on Economic History) (Baku: Elm, 1970) p131.] That also fits better with the rebound of the Azerbaijani population statistics in the later 1950s. Best wishes, Malikbek

Azokh Cave

Hello, sorry, but I think that it's better to discuss you ths subject on this page, if you don't mind. I'd just like to note that considering the sources that we can see in the Article, it's strange decission:

1. "Azykh Cave". Archived from the original on 2017-12-23. Retrieved 2017-12-26. This sources says Azykh 2. V. Doronichev, "The Lower Paleolithic in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus: A Reappraisal of the Data and New Approaches" in PaleoAnthropology 2008, p.147, 132 and many pages. Also all note Azykh 3. Taphonomy and Site Formation of Azokh 1, in Azokh Cave and the Transcaucasian Corridor, 2016. Noted Azokh, but it's new studies of archeologists. Of cause, they use the name of the territory de-facto under the control of Nagorni-Karabakh authoroty. 4. According to the administrative-territorial division of Azerbaijan - Azykh. Against the administrative-territorial division of non-recognised Nagorni-Karabakh - Azokh. 5. this article refers only the name of the Cave, neither etymology of toponym, nor scientific studies of great archeologits(by the way no one of these specialists has page in internet to understand their level, but it's not important). There are administrative-territorial division of Azerbaijan before the konflict and new one, studies of archeologists in Soviet time (one of them in the Article as the source), all studies reg discovery in Cave since 1960 note the Cave as Azykh. If you think that my arguments are not enough as any Azeri sources, please, let me see sources about Azokh name before the konflict. Nobody can accept the decission after and during the konflict. Everybody call as they want. Many cities change their name accordance to the "winner". My target is correct and right information. Etymology could be negociated but this cave is known till 90-s only like Azykh Cave.Hope my next comment will be short.Aydin mirza (talk) 00:18, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Khari Bulbul

Hi User:CuriousGolden, you recently reverted my edits to the Khari Bulbul page. You might not have realized that this was an attempt to revert earlier edits that had actually made an attempt to distort and eliminate factual information. The page is now a dishonest representation of the current reality, with no mention of the flower's endemic region to be within the Republic of Artsakh which it currently is. Your political, pro-Azerbaijani views aside, erasing factually-correct information from Wikipedia, and by extension, history, isn't a very intellectually honest thing a Wikipedia editor should be engaging in.

I hope you'll realize that I made no effort to erase any mentions of Azerbaijan or the Nagorno Karabakh Region from your edits. This is factually correct information, and in contrast, I don't believe my political views allow me to change anything.

As a more experienced Wikipedia editor, I hope you understand and add the relevant factual information yourself. Should Azerbaijan manage to invade Shusha in the next few weeks, I'm sure Armenians will be ethnically cleansed, alongside their memory, history will be rewritten regardless and this conversation will be moot. You can change it however you like, then. But if that were the case, it would be nice of you to include a "in what was once the Republic of Artsakh" in there too. Again, our collective memory is all we have. And as intellectuals, we shouldn't be affected by the politics of the day, joining militants in base propaganda.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danniel33 (talk • contribs) 11:07, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

@Danniel33: You made no effort to erase mentions of Azerbaijan? Hm, weird. It must've been a ghost who changed all mentions of Azerbaijan to Artsakh, and Shusha to Shushi then. As a more experienced Wikipedian, I can tell you that this breaks WP:NPOV and WP:COMMONNAME. The "Azerbaijan" there stands to indicate what part of Karabakh it grows in, as parts of Armenia are also considered the region of Karabakh. I've removed the "Azerbaijan" in "Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan" though, to achieve WP:NPOV. Not even going to reply to the third paragraph about invasion and cleansing as it'd lead to arguments. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 12:05, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Removal of Armenian place names

Hey, it's good that you're updating the NK/Artsakh-related articles with regard to the changes in the de facto situation after the ceasefire deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan. However, please make sure to retain the former Armenian names in some form for historical purposes, I saw that you removed the Armenian place names on the Bağbanlar, Agdam and Aliağalı articles completely.

These place names represent useful information for the readers about the history of the region for the last 30 years, and should be taken into consideration when editing. AntonSamuel (talk) 20:29, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

@AntonSamuel: Sure, that's what I always do anyway. But, in these cases the Armenian name is just the Armenian script for the exact same name. No change at all. Therefore can't really put it as "It was renamed as X during occupation" since it wasn't renamed, it's the same name in different script. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 07:44, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Good that you re-added the names, yeah I've seen that many Armenian place names around Kalbajar, Lachin and Agdam are transliterations of existing names into Armenian script, this can also be clarified if needed - however, they can still be useful when doing research about the region and searching for Armenian-language sources for example.

Agreed. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 10:18, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

@Laurel Lodged: I'm still waiting for you to explain what you implied here. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 05:02, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

It appears that you have engaged in a policy of systematic renaming of placenames that were or are under the de facto control of the Republic of Artsakh since the end of the 2020 war. These renamings have, in all cases, favoured the Azeri version of the placenames. Furthermore, many have involved changes using non Latin characters. In this work, you are not alone. Many other editors with Azeri sympathies have engaged in similar work. The fact that there is communication between editors engaged in such work, as evidenced above, suggest that this is not just a happy coincidence; instead, it is suggestive of collusion - a "tag team", to use wrestling parlance. This is contrary to Wiki policy. It is also contrary to wiki policy to use non Latin characters in the English-language wiki. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) where is states "[Names not originally in a Latin alphabet, as with Greek, Chinese, or Russian, must be transliterated into characters generally intelligible to literate speakers of English.". On my talk page you asked about the implications; the implications are quite clear - place names using non Latin characters must be converted to Latin characters. This I intend to do. Laurel Lodged (talk) 18:25, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

@Laurel Lodged: Mate, Kj cheetham is a certified page mover that I have no relation to. I move pages I can myself and ask the pages I can't (e.g. page names that have letter "Ə", as they create an error that can only be moved by a page mover) to be moved by page movers in WP:RMT. Next, in case you haven't realized, Azeri letters are Latin script, including "Ə". If you had read literally the first sentence of WP:UE, you'd know that non-anglicized Latin titles are common to use for lesser known geographical objects. Any other questions? You have broken WP:GOODFAITH, WP:ETIQUETTE and WP:MEAN severely during almost all our discussions and I'm having enough of it. Follow the Wikipedia policies if you don't want to find yourself in WP:ANI. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 18:40, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

I withdraw the "tag team" comment. I I do not see where you get your interpretation of "non-anglicized Latin titles". The sentence used in the policy states, "...the non-anglicized titles Besançon, Søren Kierkegaard, and Göttingen are used because they predominate in English-language reliable sources". Is this the part on which your renaming actions rely? If so, then it does not apply because hamlets like Xərxan, Khojavend do not "predominate in English-language" sources. They scarcely feature in English-language sources at all outside of Wiki. On the other hard, if you are relying on a different part of the policy, I'd be grateful if you would point me to it. Laurel Lodged (talk) 18:53, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

I simply follow the norm, which is the use of extended Latin. WP:UE does not state that names in Latin need to be transliterated. And, since these small villages have not ever appeared in any foreign media, their WP:COMMONNAME comes from the local media which uses the non-anglicized names. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 19:30, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

That interpretation is contrary to the plain meaning of the policy. Please desist from making future changes based on this misinterpretation. Laurel Lodged (talk) 20:21, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

I didn't make it based on that interpretation. I made it based on the fact that only media reporting on it is local media which uses the non-anglicised name, which makes it the WP:COMMONNAME. If you have source in foreign media showing an anglicized version, then you can show it and we can change it. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 20:24, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Move of Tigranakert of Artsakh

Regarding your move of Tigranakert of Artsakh to Tigranakert (Agdam): The "Tigranakert of Artsakh" name is related to histotic Artsakh name - "Artsakh (historic province)" of the Kingdom of Armenia (antiquity).

@AntonSamuel: Ah, didn't know that. I thought "Artsakh" was used to specify where it was, like in Tigranakert (Nakhchivan). Thanks for moving it back. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 20:29, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Names of Azeri villages occupied by Armenia

Please stop removing the Armenian names in the lede. The rule is that if there is a commonly used name for a place, it should be mentioned. I do not have a "side" in the AM-AZ conflict, but I am familiar with the region. To move the AM name for the place, which has been located for about 25-30 years inside territory controlled by AM (yes I visited this place), it is absolutely ABSURD not to mention the name which you need, for example, to drive to the place or ask about it. This is according to WP:COMMONNAME i.e. what is the name of the place that would be used to refer to it in English? By international law, the AZ name, by practicality, the AM name. We have the same conflicts for many "occupied" places, such as those in Palestine, believe me the Hebrew name of Bethlehem or Nazareth is mentioned in the lede. I think nationalism should be kept to the respective-language Wikipedia, do not bring it over to my language.00:06, 29 November 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keizers (talk • contribs) 00:06, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Sincerely, Գարիկ Ավագյան (talk) 13:07, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

@Գարիկ Ավագյան: Hi, I can rename significant towns/cities/districts, but not villages as most of them are not well-known enough to have any established English common name (and since the Azerbaijani alphabet is Latin, it's allowed per WP:UE). Hope that's fine. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 13:10, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

I think, that will be fine for now. Thank you for your efforts! Sincerely, Գարիկ Ավագյան (talk) 13:14, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Şuşakənd

I knew was liberated Şuşakənd in 9 November 2020 during Battle of Shusha (2020) by Azerbaijan Army. However, I saw it was included in Askeran Province as de facto. Why ? Cemsentin1 (talk) 19:17, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Because even though AzMOD announced its recapture, it has not been independently confirmed yet. There are conflicting reports about the village's control. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 19:32, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Lachin corridor

Please provide sources for the claim that the Lachin corridor and the villages within it is under Azeri civil/joint Azeri/Russian military control - as far as I've seen the only video released has been from "Lachin district". AntonSamuel (talk) 09:40, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

@AntonSamuel: AzMOD released video from Lachin city and the flag of Azerbaijan is rising in the centre of the town. The previous video of the soldiers announcing that Lachin was returned was geolocated and it was inside centre of Lachin. It's pretty clear by now that Azerbaijan has control over it with Russian peacekeepers. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 09:45, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I've seen that on Liveuamap: [1]. However I have not seen any reports regarding Azerbaijani soldiers being stationed within the Lachin corridor, but that they passed through it. The civil administration of the Lachin corridor and its towns has also not been clarified. See discussion here: [2] AntonSamuel (talk) 09:48, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

That's old. I linked a new video above of AzMOD that showed an extensive video from the city of Lachin. The statements of Aliyev have also confirmed that Lachin won't be administrated same way as remaining parts of Nagorno-Karabakh. We have enough evidence by now showing Azeri military/flag in the city. It's up to Armenians now to provide proof of them still being under control of the city. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 10:04, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

I'm sure you know Wikipedia's policy regarding neutral and reliable third-party sources. We know that Azerbaijani troops passed through Lachin, however unless there is clear confirmation that Azerbaijan has assumed control over the Lachin corridor in some manner - the status quo should remain. The burden of proof is on those that want to make controversial additions/changes to the article, not the other way around. AntonSamuel (talk) 11:08, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Not sure how Azerbaijani army filming videos in Lachin and raising their flags over administrative buildings and bringing in their military equipment into the city (can be seen in video) isn't enough confirmation already. These are enough to show who controls it in my opinion. For context, it will most likely be like the Meghri corridor in Armenia connecting mainland Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan, where territory is governed by Armenia with Russian peacekeepers. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 11:51, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Again, no proof has been provided that shows that the Lachin corridor is under Azerbaijani control (civil/military or both), only that they passed through and did a photo-op. I talked a bit regarding this issue with Solavirum as well [3], and he noted that Aliyev made a speech stating that Lachin city is not currently under Azerbaijani control, that his position was that another corridor should be built around the city in the upcoming years - however this is not necessarily a part of the ceasefire deal and up for negotiation. AntonSamuel (talk) 12:03, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

He, too, said that it's de jure Azerbaijan with Russian peacekeepers. My whole point is that it's not administrated by the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh anymore. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 12:04, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Technically all of Nagorno-Karabakh is currently regarded as Azerbaijan de jure as well. I've provided sources before on the talk page that the Artsakh mayor and hundreds of Armenian residents remain, the status of the de facto civil administration - if it's still Artsakhi or some other form of local self-governance or another arrangement will be in place remains unclear.

Hin Tagher

Hi, I have added it back with a source. Which I see you removed again. You don't seem to understand that the village does not need to be in the control of Artsakh in order to be considered part of the self-declared Republic of Artsakh's Hadrut province. Just like it did not need to be under Azerbaijan's control to be a part of Azerbaijan's territorial structure. If you see a better way to word it, please do so. But please stop edit warring and removing information from the encyclopedia. It is, in fact, part of the territory called Hadrut province by the self declared Republic of Artsakh. I was going to add this to the talk page but since you pinged me and asked to write here, I am doing so. Thank you. --RaffiKojian (talk) 09:05, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

We don't add Artsakh's provinces if it's not de facto controlled by it. It's not an independent, recognised state, so their claim to the territory has zero value on Wikipedia unless they actually control it. Refer to Köhnə Tağlar's talk page to see our lengthy discussion that confirms Azeri control over the village. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 09:08, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

I have written on that page as well now, since you referred to it. Please reply to me there, because their claim is indeed not of "zero value" on Wikipedia. --RaffiKojian (talk) 09:11, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Çaykənd and Aşağı-Ağcakənd

Hello! You changed names of Çaykənd and Aşağı Ağcakənd to Getashen and Shahumyan. But these villages weren't in Nagorno-Karabakh. I think, you must change Getashen and Shahumyan to Çaykənd and Aşağı Ağcakənd in Nagorno-Karabakh map. EljanM (TALK) 10:45, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

What? They're not even changed. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 10:47, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

These villages names must be Azerbaijani names in 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh map. Because these villages weren't in Nagorno-Karabakh. EljanM (TALK) 10:57, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Seysulan

Seysulan was on contact line between Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan between 2016 and 2020. Its west was western part of Agdam district, was divided between provinces of Askeran and Mardakert in NKR. After ceasefire agreement, Agdam district returned to Azerbaycani control on 20 November 2020. Thus, Seysulan was separated from Martakert Province by Şotlanlı village of Agdam district according to https://caucasus.liveuamap.com/. So, Seysulan under control of Azerbaijan. Please accept my edit about Seysulan.Cemsentin1 (talk) 17:53, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Liveuamap is not reliable and large part of that map is wrong. There is still a large area above Sholtanli that could still be under Russian peacekeeper control. So, unless you provide a better source/map showing the village as under full Azerbaijani control, I can't add it. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 18:04, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Module:Nagorno-Karabakh conflict detailed map

An explanation here since I didn't finish the edit summary - many of the names you changed do not seemingly respond to their Soviet names. AntonSamuel (talk) 21:33, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Which ones specifically? Because I took all of them from the Soviet map, which is why I only changed some of the names, not all. We're not going to assume WP:COMMONNAME which contradicts an already established one without a proper discussion. Edit: Saw your new edit summary. "Qirmizi Bazar"'s move request is still on-going, so changing it now to Karmir Shuka is premature and Azykh being the WP:COMMONNAME has already been established in a discussion in its talk page. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 21:36, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

From the common name investigation so far, I would say "Karmir Shuka" seems to qualify. To be honest about Azokh/Azykh - that move request (which also wasn't closed by an admin) and the evidence/sources presented for it, looks pretty shady and probably won't stand up to the basic requirements of WP:AT/WP:COMMONNAME if a proper re-check is done. I've tried to do a preliminary check on a lot of NK villages, but there are many, and taking the advice that the admin gave on the Karakend talk page into consideration, beyond correcting the villages to their common names, the current move discussions may serve as a testing ground/a sample, to check if the process will work and consensus can be achieved (while not necessarily unanimity), or if an RfC for a naming convention is needed. So for now, I would argue that it's prudent for the Nagorno-Karabakh map, taking WP:NPOV into consideration, that historically Armenian majority localities in the former NKAO use their Armenian names, and vice versa for historically Azerbaijani localities, unless more clear and thorough common name investigations have already been done. Regarding "Shahumyan" which you changed as well - from a quick search, that will probably turn out to be the common name rather than "Aşağı Ağcakənd", and a Russian version of Shahumyan was also the Soviet name for the village. AntonSamuel (talk) 22:02, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Giving Armenian names to them has no basis if the page itself is not moved yet. What you think is prudent is your own WP:POV and unfortunately doesn't matter until a move is done that supports your POV. You even changed names of Azerbaijani-majority villages/towns inside Nagorno-Karabakh and gave new names to villages in Goranboy District that never existed during Soviet times. I've reverted your change. Don't change the names again until the moves are completed, because then it'd become WP:OR. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 04:54, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
