Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan

The arbitration case involving you has closed. The Arbitration Committee has placed you on standard revert parole for a year. This means that you may revert only once per article per week except to revert obvious vandalism. Furthermore, you must explain your reasonings for content reverts on the associated talk page.

You may review the full decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan.

For the Arbitration Committee, - Penwhale | Blast him / Follow his steps 01:17, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I saw your question over at TT's page. Regarding your question, edits by sock puppets of banned users are considered vandalisms and can be reverted on sight regardless of the revert parole/3RR limit. - Penwhale | Blast him / Follow his steps 09:23, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Err on the safe side. Let other people take care of it if you're not sure. (Obviously, though, some of them you can justify via edit patterns.) - Penwhale | Blast him / Follow his steps 09:49, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Regarding AN/I, did you try requests for checkuser? That will help too, methinks. - Penwhale | Blast him / Follow his steps 10:01, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Request for Comment on ARF

Following advise of admin Thatcher131, I have created RfC page on ARF. You can put your short comments on talkpage, as per RfC guidance - see example [1]--Dacy69 20:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

If you find the sources inadequate, then say so. Don't say "unsourced". It was most certainly sourced. --Golbez 11:39, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

The edit I reverted (not made by you, but being defended by you) was summarized as unsourced. I greatly dislike false edit summaries. --Golbez 11:45, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Azerbaijan SSR

Grandmaster, could you translate the Anthem of Azerbaijan SSR into English? I've asked other Azeri users this before, but they didn't do anything about it. I think that it's about time we see English lyrics to this. -- Aivazovsky 03:01, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

I really have no time for doing it right now. Maybe I'll get someone to do it. Thanks for getting in touch. Grandmaster 13:39, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Iranica

Read the Iranica article. Iranica says "...parts of Arran and Azerbaijan".Azerbaijani 14:53, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

ATAÚBAKAÚN-E AÚD¨ARBAÚYÔAÚN, an influential family of military slave origin, also called Ildegozids, ruled parts of Arra@n and Azerbaijan from about 530/1135-36 to 622/1225; as “Great Ata@baks” (ata@baka@n-e a¿záam) of the Saljuq sultans of Persian Iraq (western Iran), they effectively controlled the sultans from 555/1160 to 587/1181; in their third phase they were again local rulers in Arra@n and Azerbaijan until the territories which had not already been lost to the Georgians, were seized by Ôala@l-al-d^n K¨úa@razmÞa@h in 622/1225.

Straight from the Iranica article. Why change Iranica's wording?Azerbaijani 06:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Iranica is not the only source. Minorsky said:
By that time the great Seljuks were gone and their epigoni were eclipsed by their former vassals. The latter, when united, represented a serious force, but the Georgians, with their allies and vassals from Northern Caucasus (the Qipchaq Turks), could cope with any ephemeral coalitions. Only with the rise of the atabeks of Azarbayjan (the Eldiguzids) was a brake put on the Georgian expansion in two directions: to the South-towards the Armenian lands deprived of their independence by the Muslims; and to the East-towards the Caspian sea. It is true that the rulers of Shirvan had been linked to the Georgians by family ties; but Ganja,2 on the Georgians' right flank, formed a brake on the forward policy of the Christian kings.
The article in Iranica also says that Atabeks controlled Ani, which is in Turkey. So clearly Atabeks controlled larger area, which included the territory of modern day Azerbaijan (both independent and Iranian), Armenia and part of Turkey. Grandmaster 06:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Oh, how strange, why is it that Iranica is not acceptable for you now? Also, Minorsky does not mention any definitive boundary.Azerbaijani 15:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm not saying it is not acceptable, but South Caucasus does not contradict Iranica. It inludes Arran as well. Grandmaster 06:10, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
So what happened on Mammed Said Ordubadi when South Caucasus was not acceptable? I see this as harassment. You, Atabek, and Elsanaturk have been harrassing me these past couple days, and now I have the diff's to prove it. I will give you a chance to revert yourself, if not, I will have to talk to Thatcher about this harassment.Azerbaijani 19:38, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Beylagan

Hi ! you said
" That was an interesting info you added to Beylagan. Could you please provide better description of the source? i.e. Musa Khareni = Moses of Chorene? What was the title of the book, etc. Thanks. --Grandmaster 04:47, 1 May 2007 (UTC) "
I get the info from here: etymology of the name Baku

"موسی خورینی در کتاب جغرافیای خود در گفتگو از پایداقاران (بیلقان) که شهری در آران بوده و در آن زمان باکو از اطراف آن بحساب می‌‌آمده، نام آنجا را باگوان می‌‌نویسد"
"when Moses of Chorene in his book «Treatise on Geography»,talks about the Paydagharen(Beylagan), which was a town in Arran,and in that time Baku was a part of that place , names the Baku as Baguwan "
We also have a small town near Tehran(Karaj) with this name ! "Bileqan" 35°49′57″N 51°02′34″E / 35.832367°N 51.042686°E / 35.832367; 51.042686

, I think importance of this name for you is in that name is not Armenian : I do think so:that's not Armenian. --Alborz Fallah 10:46, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

That book is available online in Russian. I think you are talking about Armenian geography. It indeed has a chapter on Paytakaran, but says nothing about the etymology of the word. Bagawan is located in Iran, close to Azerbaijani border. I'm really interested in this issue, but we need to check the sources to make sure that the reference is accurate. I personally think that Paytakaran is the word of Iranian origin, as the region was populated by Iranian speakers in ancient times, but we need some neutral or antique primary sources to support that. Grandmaster 04:46, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

paytakaran

Maybe I missed something - Paytakaran dispute was resolved acording to Thanatosimi version or not? Anyway, it seems that dispute began again and your comment would be relevant--Dacy69 18:47, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

That Wiki-page is important : Paytakaran ! Then you mean that's not Beylagan's etymology... and that place (Paytakaran) is some other place than today's Beylagan (Perhaps some place near today's Baku ) ! I think I have to do more research . Thank's for info ! --Alborz Fallah 21:07, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

hello. Grandmaster, i always wanted to ask, is there anything in wiki which can help to align texts so that they will be symmetric, that is now they look so ugly, one is long, one is short. ye'ni metni duz kvadaratfason saxlamq uchun neynemek lazimdir? Ateshi - Baghavan 21:21, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

ANI

Since it's archived, I might as well post it on your user page:

You are accusing me of attempting to turn Wikipedia into a battleground along the national lines? Why aren't you honesty with yourself? Why don't you say why I got mad, which was preciously because you were attempting to do just that. Were there any problems before you and Dacy69 claimed that a source should not be used because its author happens to be an Armenian? I am frustrated by such inflammatory racism aimed at Armenians. Meanwhile, at the exact same time you had no problem supporting your claims based on an institution based in Azerbaijan? Dismissing sources on the basis of the author’s ethnicity? Now you are weighting this down a little bit away from administrators’ sight. Do we really need pointers to refresh your memory as to how this happened? Dacy69, you, Parishan, Zondi, Ulvi_I simultaneously attacked by edits to this article. I do not see this as coincidence, but attack aimed at scaring away an Armenian editor from this article. Check the edit summery of Ulvi before criticizing me. A friend of mine was living in Azerbaijan before he had to leave everything behind and he remembers very well what Ulvi publicly wrote addressing to the Azerbaijani government about turning Armenian Churches in Azerbaijan into Museums on so-called Azerbaijani genocides perpetrated by Armenians. Further, let’s not forget the removal of the inscription on the church of Nizh, under Norwegian "restorative" supervision and revision of the churches’ Armenian identity.

Hetoum I 00:46, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Look, it is not my personal idea that we should use third party sources. I quoted the rules, and you need to abide by them. End of story. I don't use Azerbaijani sources, you should not use Armenians either. Also, mind WP:AGF. Grandmaster 04:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

cultural autonomy in Iran Vs. USSR

" I would say that USSR was lot more liberal in terms of cultural autonomy that Iran ever was" [6].
Don't you think the Culture and language are not equal? Do you mean some aspects of the culture such as religion and custom (e.g. conventional women dress) where free in USSR?! Or are you saying that the familial relations were free (such as conventional father-son relations)?!
As I said before, you think Iranian government actively suppresses local languages, but that's not true: it only does not participate in teaching local language; that's all! Your problem is in that your source of information is either political dissidents or biased media. Political dissidents show the reality in a way to satisfy both the host-country/supporter and themselves: they have to find an answer to why they are different from the ordinary people and why they have to get out of normal position and homeland: that picture will sure be an unreal one: say, do you think the picture that John Walker Lindh depicts about America, can be a reliable one?! And about the amnesty international, don't forget that's a group that is officially devoted to protect the human rights and that means it is hypersensitive and hyper reactive to any thing that can potentially be a treat to human rights (That's a pressure group) , then that means their view is also biased. In the case of Iran, you have to add the hatered of western media against Iran , and most of the world view is built on the westerners view . Baghishlasoz ke Chox danishdim....--Alborz Fallah 19:04, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

No, religion was suppressed in the USSR, sometimes violently. They destroyed mosques and churches, arrested mullahs and priests. Conventional dress as far as I know was not banned, but you could not go anywhere dressed like that. It was not welcomed. But when it came to language and culture, I still beleive that USSR was a lot more liberal than any other country. As for HRW and others, I tend to trust them. They are quite critical about my country too, and I cannot say that their claims are baseless. They are critical of everyone, including the US and Israel, and I find HRW trustworthy. I'm not going to actively participate in Iran related articles, I may occasionally contribute a like or two, but I beleive we all want to present objective info, so we should look forthe best ways to present the fatcs and veiws in accordance with NPOV. Thanks for writing me, always a pleasure to talk with Azeris from Iran, and not only Azeris. Grandmaster 07:39, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

ARBITRATION ABOUT AZERI IN WAFFEN SS

I did some time ago some modifications about “ Azeri Waffen SS Volunteer Formations” I deleted the excerpts from memoirs of Hans Thieme, an intelligence lieutenant of the 203rd Division of Wehrmacht I explained why I did those changes in the talk page KAMINSKY or DIRLEWANGER After some researches I have deleted the very dubious "Hans Thieme, an intelligence lieutenant of the 203rd Division" "The Azerbaijani battalion or the “infamous plunderer’s brigade of Kaminski“ Unfortunately ,no Azerbaijani under Kaminsky orders.They were 1,700 soldiers of the Waffen-SS Brigade RONA (Russkaya Osvoboditelnaya Narodnaya Armiya), a Russian collaborating force headed by Waffen Brigadeführer Bronislaw Kaminski. The RONA brigade, at the time of the Warsaw Uprising, was comprised mostly of Russians with Belorussian and Ukrainian minorities. Most were volunteers, ex-POWs, and Red Army deserters. When Warsaw uprising broke on August 1, 1944 RONA was stationed in Silesia (vicinity of Rattibor - Raciborz) and Muensingen manoeuver/training ground in Wurttemberg. On August 2nd, 1700 of unmarried men has been selected for action in Warsaw with 2 regiments supplied with 2x122mm and 2x76mm guns formed out of them. It operated, under the operational command of deputy Brig.Staff Major Yuri Frolov, mostly in Ochota district area, then closed in to the center of the city (Dzieciatka Jezus hospital at Nowogrodzka Street)

Wola killings were mostly inflicted by elements of Kampfgruppe Reinefarth that assaulted the area held by the insurgents from the west. It is hard to determine which specific units are to be held responsible but the main 'cleansing' tasks has been assigned to Angriffsgruppe Dirlewanger with following forces: 2 Grenadier Batallions (I & II) of SS Sturmbrigade Dirlewanger + Aserbeidschanische Feld Bataillon I./111 (com. Hptm. Werner Scharrenberg) + Ostmuselmanisches SS Regiment (without Batallion III) II Btl. "Bergmann" - [without 7. Komp.] Ltn. Mertelsmann Gendermerie Operationsgruppe Walter (2 gendarmerie Komp.) Komp. I & II of Aserb. Feld Btl. I/111 Anti-aircraft battery of 80th Regiment Sturmpanzer-Kompanie z.b.V. 218 [8x Brummbär] Hptm. Kellmann 1/2 of machine gun 4.Kompanie of Aserb. Feld Btl. I/111 1. Platoon of 654. Pioniere Batallion 1 KRONE flamethrower unit (8x Flammenwerfer 41)


User fedayee re-inserted the deleted part 12:55, 31 August 2007 Fedayee (Talk | contribs) (10,408 bytes) (re-inserting sourced info that was vandalised by IP a few weeks ago.) I am not use to Wikipedia but I am certainly not a vandal . They were Azeris in Warsaw ,no doubt about that and I did quite a lot of researches about Azeris in the German Osttruppen. They were not in the Kaminsky Rona in Warsaw every specialist of this topic know that. Kaminsky and Dirlewange were not in the same part of Warsaw . Last Kaminsky was a Pole not a “Caucasian”. So Grandmaster I am not going to declare war to this “Fedayee” .And I am not going to write about Dro or Nzhdeh collaboration with the German Reich or anything about Armenians in general.I just mind my own business.

Quoting WP:BAN: "Other users are generally expected to refrain from reinstating any edits made by banned users. Users that nonetheless reinstate such edits take complete responsibility for that content by so doing." Vartan is taking responsibility for the edits, therefore they are no longer made by a banned user.

In fact, you found nothing wrong in his conduct before you knew it was me. But after that, Anatol contribution was reduced to baiting other contributors to report them to arbitrators. And for your information Anatol was first created to counter Flavius disruption, a user who was previously banned indefinitly but also escaped his ban and continued making personal attacks worst than mine, since it was included also in edit summaries and this while the arbitration was proceeding. This shows how seriously the arbitration check evidences. And welcome Adil the mutiple sock user after his ban expire, since I could not do it myself, guess why?

About Cuhud

Johud or Cuhud etc... is a dergatory word. Say this to any self-respecting jew from Iran, rep. Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Daghestan, Tajikistan, etc... and you see the reaction. On the other hand Kalimi which is used in Iran is a very respectable one. It comes from Moses Kalim-ollah. But I know the truth hurts especially when the lobby wants to ally re. Azerbaijan with the Anti-Iranianist Jewish lobby in the USA, it hurts then to hear that Iran is the country which always has respected the jews and their ally ( which rediculously denies its Iranian roots) against Iran is an anti-semitic country. --Babakexorramdin (talk) 12:35, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't know why you decided that Cuhud is a derogatory word. It is as derogatory as Turk, Fars, Ermeni, Rus, etc. If you have a source that the term is derogatory, add it to the article. And by source I mean a reliable third party source, not some blog or anything like that. And is if you are here to wage some personal war, you chose a wrong place. It is not tolerated here. Grandmaster (talk) 12:39, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Grandmaster I think you have been the one that always was waging a war. It is clear from all your aggressive encounters against anything distantly Iranian. ::: very illuminative especially your phrase about "other". You know better than me that I always can cite and refer to sources. So I will come back. --Babakexorramdin (talk) 12:50, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
