I'll get to this shortly--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:10, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

• No DABs
• Cannot determine US copyright status on File:Turkish civilians massacred by Armenians in Hizirilyas.jpg without a publication date of some kind. Needs to be added to the data on Commons
  • Added. (t · c) buidhe 03:39, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
• I am going to query Nikkimaria about File:Refugees at the Taurus Pass.jpg as I'm not sure that using the photo in a lecture before 1925 counts as publication or not.

• If it was only displayed during a lecture, no, that doesn't count as publication. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:45, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

• Thanks for your amazingly prompt reply!--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:01, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

• Removed, since I'm not sure when this image was published in print medium. (t · c) buidhe 03:39, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

• Remaining photos are appropriately licensed
• Link paramilitaries
  • Done
• AK Party presented "The"
  • Done
• Down to Denialism in academia, more later. Very impressed thus far.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:44, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Thanks for your comments! (t · c) buidhe 03:39, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
• Link Bernard Lewis
  • Done
• Use the abbreviation for the European Court of Human Right at its first appearance. And why are you using the abbreviation ECtHR?
  • Done. At least in specialized literature, ECHR = European Convention on Human Rights, ECtHR = the court.
• According to Azerbaijan, genocide has been "repeatedly committed against the Azerbaijani people", citing events such as the Treaty of Gulistan (1813), the Treaty of Turkmenchay (1828), Baku Commune, January 1990 deployment of Soviet troops to Baku, and especially the 1992 Khojali massacre. However, Armenians never suffered any mistreatment, let alone a genocide. Awkward, I'm not sure what you're trying to do here. That the Azeris believe that they're the victims of genocide, but don't believe that the Armenians have been?
  • The source discusses Azerbaijan state propaganda, without stating whether Azeris believe it. I've reworded hopefully to be more clear. (t · c) buidhe 01:45, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
    • Much better.
• You have a mix of full and short citation formats in your citation sections. Strongly recommend that you adopt the short citation format uniformly and move the full bibliographic info to the sources section.
  • I use sfn when there are multiple pages cited in the source, full citations otherwise. It's the format used by Jo-Jo Eumerus in their FA articles, and I think it works best for this article. (t · c) buidhe 01:45, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
    • You don't need to justify it, it's just not my preferred style.
• Having such extensive quotes in your citations is pretty unusual in my experience, but I think it works quite well here.
• You've used both sentence and title cases in your cites and sources. Pick one or the other and be consistent across all English-language titles and subtitles for both articles and books. Your eyes will start to glaze over while doing this, if you're like me, so make a couple passes to try and catch all of them.
  • Done
    • Missed Della Morte, Tatz, and #305 in the citations
• Pity to read about Lowry and Erickson; Lowry's quite good about the early Ottoman period and I have several of the latter's books about the Ottoman Army, but haven't gotten around to reading them yet. I'll be curious to see how he deals with Enver Pasha's failed offensive.
• This is a serious piece of scholarship and you've done a magnificent job. Bravo!--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:57, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Thanks so much for your review! Sorry it took me a few days to get to your comments, I've been busy with a couple other things. (t · c) buidhe 01:45, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
    • I'm going to presume that you'll fix the remaining nits and will promote now.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:58, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
