Khojaly edit

I'm really disappointed with the way you are discussing this issue: it would have been better for you to show some respect to other point of views which do not agree with the Azerbaijani agenda, rather than turning Wikipedia into an editing battlefield and accusing a journalist with being "funded by Armenia" without any evidence. Why didn't you comment on the announcements of Eynulla Fatullayev?? Is he also an "Armenia funded" figure?? Really ironic.

Hello edit

Hello, I've noticed a rather disturbing tendency in your recent edits to shroud the fact that certatin villages or regions in Nagorno-Karabakh are under the control of the de facto independent Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. Please do not continue with such disruptive edits. Regardless of where you or I stand on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, perhaps we can at least agree that both should be mentioned somewhere in the article (perhaps in the infobox). Also, as I see the revert wars that you have engaged in, please also be aware of the fact that continue revert warring will enable a user to be subject to certain restrictions and the deprivation of privileges, as outlined here: Armenia-Azerbaijan 2.

Thanks.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 19:50, 23 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sir, those edits are not disruptive. What is disruptive is your position in entering information unsourced by a third party. Please present a third party source saying they are a part of Nagorno Karabakh republic. And as you are citing the Armenia-Azerbaijan 2 case, you should be aware of those rules. Thank you.  Anastasia Bukhantseva  18:54, 24 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Those lands are clearly under the control of the NKR authorities, regardless of what position one takes in this debate. It's unfortunate to see that you have simply reverted me and have (mis)interpreted the insertion of such material to mean that the article is now endorsing a certain point of view ("part of Nagorno Karabakh republic"). There is a precedent that we include information from both sides, not suppress one for the other. If you are unwilling do undo your edits, I will take this up with an administrator who is very knowledgeable of this area and will give his input regarding the matter.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 19:48, 24 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Which precedent? Where are the reliable sources which say they are part of Nagorno Karabakh republic? I would rely on them. Please present. Please don't hesitate to involve an administrator, it would be fine.  Anastasia Bukhantseva  03:52, 25 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
I cannot recall any specific page for the moment because it has been mentioned so many times over the past 4-5 years but it exists. You can visit a great many number of articles on villages in NK and see that both locations are presented. And asking for "reliable sources" is superfluous - whether you side with the NKR or Azerbaijan, there is no doubt that those lands are now under de facto NKR control. The monastery at Gandzasar overlooks the village of Vank, which I personally visited 3 years ago so there is no need for sources for such common sense statements. I've contacted Golbez, so hopefully he'll have time to chip in.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 17:59, 25 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
Sir, you can have your own opinion and I can have mine but that doesn't mean the villages under military control of Armenian forces should set the law in favor of Armenians. You can visit the village of Vankli as many times as you want but it doesn't change its legal status recognized by international law and countries. If you present valid neutral sources describing that village as an Armenian village, we can add that to the article.  Anastasia Bukhantseva  01:56, 26 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

You're still misinterpreting this issue as a matter of who is right or who is wrong. But while I am saying that both sides should be represented, you are taking the extreme view that the other side should be excluded at the complete expense of the other. Applying your argument, you can wave around legal arguments all you like, but that doesn't change the fact that these villages are now under the de facto control of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. Asking for sources is superfluous, because it's only common sense that they fall under the borders of the NKR. The map used by the NKR's office in the US shows it as such. If this still does not suffice then I'm afraid admin help will be our only help.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 16:30, 26 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sir, common sense for me and for the rest of the world is that these territories have been occupied by Armenian army and that they are unrecognized by any country or international organizations. Hence, the lack of valid sources which you can't produce. The map you're showing is the map of the secessionist government, whether it has an office in US or France, it's still the map of the secessionist government. Can't really understand why you would produce that map if it's not a third party source. And regarding both sides represented. Any country can claim any territory of the other and start renaming the village names in its fantasy world but that doesn't change the reality of recognition by the world community.  Anastasia Bukhantseva  04:24, 27 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Constant insertion of questionable image edit

Hello. I recently came across your edits on several Armenian-American related articles where you have inserted a photo of graffiti allegedly sprayed by Armenian Power gang members. Now, it seems difficult to establish anything definite about the article, but it seems to me that photo also has virtually no relevance to the articles you have added them to, an opinion shared by an administrator. Rather than systematically go through these articles and remove them one by one and even risk being embroiled in an edit war, I ask that you remove them yourself and refrain from adding them, and any other questionable images, onto these pages. Thanks. Regards, --Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 17:22, 21 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Sir, the source of the photo says that it was taken in Little Armenia, Hollywood street sign is visible in picture and the territory of activity is clearly stated in the article Armenian Power. I have nothing against any nation including Armenians, the photo came to me very interesting and I added it to different articles about Armenian Americans. The article Armenian American has this sentence "A gang named Armenian Power, composed of about 200 Armenian Americans, has operated in Los Angeles County since the late 1980s.[1]", so the photo of Armenian Power taken in Hollywood (Little Armenia) is relevant there. The same arguments are valid for article Operation Power Outage as well. Sincerely,  Anastasia Bukhantseva  18:07, 21 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Hollywood Boulevard stretches on for miles and encompasses other neighborhoods as well. That being beside the point, what contribution do you see in adding a photo of an ugly piece of graffiti on an article about Armenians in the United States? Or of an article relating to a sting conducted by federal agents?Little Armenia became known for its ethnic make-up and community - the article shouldn't greet readers with such a revolting image. Your insistence on defending these edits doesn't lend much credence to the belief that you're acting in good faith.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 21:08, 21 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Sir, first of all, please follow WP:GOODFAITH. Regarding relevancy of the photo: If the article Armenian American already discusses Armenian Power, why the photo of Armenian Power graffiti is not relevant in the same article?  Anastasia Bukhantseva  22:31, 21 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
I would also like to point out your insertion of the image of a mosque on several Armenia(n)-related articles. A review of your contribution history reveals a tendency to add such images into myriad articles with the same edit summary ("I added photo"). Your reasoning for the addition of a mosque to an article on Armenians in the Ottoman Empire–to show Ottoman influence in Yerevan–had almost nothing to do with the subject of the article (and Yerevan's Ottoman heritage is minimal besides). In the future, I'd appreciate you spend some time building consensus or at least giving a more thorough reasoning for your insertion of such photographs before inserting them into multiple articles. Thanks, Jackal 03:43, 22 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for your feedback. As you already mentioned, that photo was added to show Ottoman's influence in current Armenia, but I don't think it is minimal. If you think that photo is not relevant for that article, then please discuss it on the talk page of that article and reach community consensus before deleting that. Thanks.  Anastasia Bukhantseva  10:25, 22 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Really? that photo was added to show Ottoman's influence in current Armenia Really? Can you please tell me when and by whom that minaret was built? --Երևանցի talk 16:09, 24 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Sir, unfortunately I don't know these details, but probably you know that from architecture point of view it looks more Ottoman-type rather than Persian.  Anastasia Bukhantseva  13:05, 25 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
All mosques built in Yerevan were Persian, except one that was inside the Yerevan Fortress. It was an orthodox church by the Russians. --Երևանցի talk 21:12, 25 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Sir, please see Yerevan_Fortress#Mosques which discusses Rajab-Pasha Mosque built in 1725 during the reign of Turkish Rajab-Pasha khan. The source is Armenian, I presume you won't disagree with fact that Ottomans also built mosque in Erivan.  Anastasia Bukhantseva  22:22, 25 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
That is the mosque I'm talking about. It is the only Ottoman mosque ever built in Yerevan. --Երևանցի talk 00:44, 26 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
I have removed it again as it is not related to Ottoman Armenians–which is what the article is about. It is not about current Armenia, which I maintain was less "influenced" by the Ottomans than by the Safavids and Qajars. Jackal 13:11, 22 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Point of view pushing at its worst. He's just cluttering articles with images which have only marginal relevance to the topics they're on.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 22:36, 22 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Sir, did you read my above question to you? There is answer in it.  Anastasia Bukhantseva  13:05, 25 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Ways to improve List of mosques in Nagorno-Karabakh edit

Hi, I'm MrNiceGuy1113. Anastasia.Bukh, thanks for creating List of mosques in Nagorno-Karabakh!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. I think the article would do well if a little light is shed on the history of Nagorno-Karabakh mosques

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 07:44, 31 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
