Recent edit at Nabucco edit

Are you sure this edit is neutral? The wording "Preempting gas supplies for possible use for Nabucco pipeline is another way of preventing the project from successful completion" seems bad — imagine if someone inserted "another way of preventing the project from completion is to make claims about environmental impact" to Nord Stream. I'm sure that would be reverted on neutrality grounds. Recently an agenda-based account (User:Gazpr) made some pretty outrageous edits in energy articles. Although most of your edits are good, I have a slight problem with some of your edits as well. Please remember to be neutral as possible. Offliner (talk) 22:55, 23 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Well, I made the edit based on many articles, sort of an analysis. I do believe this is a big part of Russian energy politics vis-a-vis Europe and the West, as much as getting or White Stream work is energy politics of the West vis-a-vis Russia, or rather dependence on Russia, but I do agree that it might have sounded a bit biased. I did make some corrections. Do you mind taking a look? Tuscumbia 14:16, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Naftoport edit

 

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Naftoport requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 13:24, 15 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

2009 Espoo shopping mall shooting edit

Hi Tuscumbia,
This article has IMHO gone downhill real quick. I was working on it before midnight (local) and it is now ≈4:20 AM. I have never been so pissed. I mean editors come in and arbritrarily delete whole paragraphs without any discussion. Is that the way it's supposed to work here? I dont think so! Too many 'cooks'! You may find more useable (deleted) material in Espoo. There is a now lot of redundant material in the 'Suspect' section since someone merged stuff from the deleted Shkupolli article. All yours now, I'm gonna get pissed, or try to, as I said I am already 'pissed' off! Hope you have a better New Year than I have had!   '--220.101.28.25 (talk) 17:22, 31 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi there! You're right about the current event article being edited real quick but it doesn't mean it's going downhill. That's what Wikipedia is all about - editing based on sources. Whatever I added was sourced material from primary news agencies. However I did not move or delete any sections or whole paragraphs as you claim. I only added a new section on Allegations and sourced material to the Suspect section. So, no reason to get pissed off. I am not pissed off at those who edited my edits a minute after. Happy New Year and cheer up! After all, we're all glad to be alive and smaller disappointments online should not ruin your holidays. Tuscumbia (talk) 17:35, 31 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
NO mate, I didn't mean YOU!.  I was cool with you. NO PROBLEM AT ALL. It was other people who just appeared out of nowhere, and IMHO stuffed it up (then, it's a lot better, now 2+ hours later) I mean one 'guy' swanned in and all he did was change Suspect heading to Pepetrator, which is very POV. Another 'guy' pulls up, deletes a whole para as 'redundant' (didn't agree) and then goes away. I mean if it's someone with thousands of edits to their credit, but not so here. VERY frustrating.   AND I am VERY tired. Supposed to go somewhere tomorrow morning too, (in <≈5 hours!) only told at short notice yesterday, blah blah, whinge whinge, yada yada. I am on the other side of the world from you, probably. The Sun IS coming up, now!(and those damned noisy birds are starting up! Cna't win) NO, no problem with you at all! Oh, the shooting was reported on 5 AM news here in Sydney, nothing new to report but.

There is no vandalism. The pages I provided sources for are on Azerbaijani regions which you unsuccessfully try to rename with your nationalistic statements. I think you need to stop your vandalism and assume good faith. Tuscumbia (talk) 19:51, 28 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
You insert data on the population of regions according to the census of the country, which has no control over this territory and delete my neutral authoritative reference a third country.

Azeri census edit

Do you know when that census data was taken? --Golbez (talk) 13:48, 29 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I do Golbez. Here it is from Statistical committee of Azerbaijan: [2]. Some numbers are higher than those in the "undated" source, some are lower. I think they add the movement of new and old settlers since 1992-93 to the number of last recorded by Azerbaijan before 1993. Remember that Azerbaijani government considers all the old inhabitants its citizens. Tuscumbia (talk) 13:59, 29 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
But... how did they count people in an area they aren't allowed in to? This obviously can't be considered a 2009 census of the areas under Karabakhi control. --Golbez (talk) 14:05, 29 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
They did not count themselves. Apparenly they use the data from Ministry of National Security which tracks the movement in and out of those regions. They even protested against a mass settlement of incoming ethnic Armenians in Lachin rayon a few years ago. Anyway, they probably add that data to the official count of Azerbaijani census last recorded before the regions were occupied. We can indicate that detail if you like but the data has to come from a legitimate source, that is governmental agency which oversees the population statistics of its country.Tuscumbia (talk) 14:08, 29 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
I think that needs to be brought to some form of RFC, if we can use data for a region that the data could not have reasonably be collected from. --Golbez (talk) 14:16, 29 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
I guess that would work. I understand the data which you tagged as "undated" was also on that website and might still be there with the date (I'll have to research) since it was referred to in on of the articles I saw.Tuscumbia (talk) 14:20, 29 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
If they did not count, then it is not a census..., you are just admiting the info you have added is not accurate, since a census is an actual counting. It's futile to parallel some statistic being passed as a census to counter an actual census.

Armenian citizens are not allowed into Azerbaijan for private visits, only Armenians citizens invited to attend international events are exempted. edit

Armenian citizens are not allowed into Azerbaijan for private visits, only Armenians citizens invited to attend international events such as sport tournaments and conferences are exempted. Foreign citizens, except those with diplomatic passports, having stamps of the breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh Republic on their passports are also not allowed to enter Azerbaijan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.214.144.172 (talk) 23:14, 4 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I appreciate your concern but this is just your opinion. Armenian citizens are allowed into Azerbaijan. Moreover, the current residents living in Karabakh are still formally considered citizens of Azerbaijan by the government of Azerbaijan. Armenian athletes, journalists, politicians, religious leaders, students have repeatedly visited Azerbaijan and do so every year. Whether they are met with suspicion at the airport customs counter or not is a different matter. You do have to be suspicious about citizens of the country which is at war with yours.

"Lachin is outside NKR" edit

No, it's not. After years of discussion here, it seems clear that the NKR has annexed the non-NKAO rayons it occupies. It takes the line of control as a border, rather than just a, well, line of control. Lachin, et.al. are all part of the NKR, and have been distributed into provinces of it. --Golbez (talk) 13:52, 11 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Lachin as well as any de-jure regions are intergral parts of Azerbaijan. Lachin and other 6 regions outside of former NKAO are actually twice are disputable in the context of "NKR" because they had not been claimed by Karabakh Armenians in their petitions. These are territories occupied by force. You don't see an Azerbaijani divisions template in Artsvashen article of Armenia, do you now? Tuscumbia (talk) 13:59, 11 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Uhm, but if you're going to keep the {NKR} on the former NKAO, then that kind of defeats your argument. The NKR is not the NKAO. And actually, yes, they have been claimed by the NKR, as seen in their own maps, census data, etc. As for Artsvashen, I think that is considered simply occupied rather than annexed, whereas Lachin appears to have been explicitly annexed by the NKR. (What's this about "petititons"? We aren't in 1991 anymore. The Line of Control is a de facto border) Finally, if the NKR didn't claim these areas, then why did they divide them into provinces? Qashatagh, etc? I mean, look at the map on there! Wikipedia's stance seems to be that the NKR has annexed the southwestern corner of Azerbaijan, and is not merely occupying it militarily. (Trivial difference? Hardly. The US occupied Iraq, but it never annexed it) --Golbez (talk) 14:21, 11 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
US doesn't occupy or annex Iraq. It's fighting a war on terror and is assisted by Iraqi troops. This is a completely different matter and has no place in the argument. It doesn't matter if the occupied territories are claimed by "NKR" or not. Azerbaijan can claim Yerevan but the article about Yerevan does not include the Azerbaijani divisions template. I have not removed the "NKR" templates from former NKAO cities/districts because they are subject to discussion and consensus. Regions outside of former NKAO are not, regardless if they were divided into "NKR" districts or not. Artsvashen is as much occupied as Nagorno-Karabakh and 7 other regions of Azerbaijan. You simply fail to see the 100% similarity.Tuscumbia (talk) 14:34, 11 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure anyone would deny Iraq was occupied by the US prior to local rule being re-established. I used the past-tense for a reason. And you are quite incorrect to say areas outside the former NKAO are not subject to discussion and consensus; everything on Wikipedia is subject to discussion and consensus, and the consensus is that the NKR consists of the entire southwestern corner of Azerbaijan, not just the NKAO. If you disagree with this, there are several other articles you should start a crusade on, not to mention getting all of the maps changed. Also, since the NKR doesn't fully control the former NKAO (though claims it), this distinction makes even less sense. --Golbez (talk) 18:53, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Simple to understand. The sources from the international community define these territories as a part of Azerbaijan. Their proper names, i.e. ones given by the de-jure governing Azerbaijan are to what the international community calls them. Any attempt to rename them based on Armenian sources is an academic violation at the very least. Simple as that. Tuscumbia (talk) 18:59, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
How did this suddenly become about names? It was about whether or not Lachin is part of the NKR. --Golbez (talk) 20:51, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Golbez, what exactly are you trying to clarify? Tuscumbia (talk) 21:26, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Your argument was that Lachin is occupied, rather than annexed, by the NKR, but that the former NKAO had a separate status. I'm saying, consensus here is that the whole of the area behind the Line of Control is part of the NKR, they appear to have annexed it and divided it among provinces. The former NKAO no longer has any special meaning when dealing with the NKR. --Golbez (talk) 23:42, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Yes, which makes it twice as illegitimate. Tuscumbia (talk) 13:03, 13 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
... That doesn't mean any sense, and appears to have nothing to do with what I wrote. --Golbez (talk) 18:36, 13 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
What makes sense is that the territory of Azerbaijan, currently under control of "NKR" is not legitimate, no matter if it's outside of anything. The NKR entity is not a recognized state to be able to "annex" anything, therefore the present status of Lachin is as much under illegitimate control as the rest of the occupied territories. Simple as that. Tuscumbia (talk) 12:51, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Then is it your position that the former NKAO is also just as much not a part of the NKR as Lachin is? Just seeking a clarification here, since your earlier statements seemed to say that the NKAO was part of the NKR, but Lachin was not. --Golbez (talk) 14:10, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Golbez, thanks for trying to clarify. Not many people do it. In a nutshell, yes, the former NKAO is as much not part of "NKR" entity as Lachin is. What I was referring to in earlier statements was from peculiarities of the conflict. While I do understand the whole notion of self-determination by the Armenian authorities in former NKAO, (even though it was not done on legal grounds), the status of former NKAO as claimed in the beginning of the conflict has been a subject to negotiations. The rest of the territories outside of former NKAO have been directly occupied. So, while I understand the status of NKAO needs to be discussed by both countries, the rest of the occupied territories fall under a different category. Tuscumbia (talk) 14:22, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Fair enough; now that you've explained, I can understand your position and respect it. It's a valid position, though not one I agree with completely. A few years ago, yes, but I brought the issue up on various talk pages and since then my mind has changed, seeing as how the NKR government appears to be treating the other occupied rayons as part of its country, rather than simply occupied territory. But as you said, the referendum was carried out only in the NKAO, so the legitimacy of the other rayons not being part of Azerbaijan is indeed less than that of the NKAO. I just wish the politicians involved would stow their egos and find a solution, not just for the thousands of innocent people involved, but also for Wikipedia's sanity. (though I doubt it will ever stem the flow of geniuses who think [3] is a valid edit. If I appear to have an Armenian bias, it is for two reasons: One, I have an admitted slight bias towards the people of NK as I have a thing for self-determination, call it a naive American trait, but otherwise I think I'm very neutral on the issue; secondly, the Armenian vandals aren't nearly as annoying as the Azeri ones. :P) --Golbez (talk) 14:55, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
I have a thing for both self-determination and territorial integrity too and respect the will of people. The problem is that the self-determination in case of NKAO was not done on legal grounds disregarding Soviet and Azerbaijani constitutions and the will of Azerbaijani community of Karabakh. Yes, I dislike vandalism too but as anyone can observe there are a lot more Armenian socks :) Tuscumbia (talk) 15:11, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
That's probably true. And as for the legal grounds, that's one of the fundamental issues, isn't it: Did they have the legal right to secede from the Soviet Union? Of course, to an independent observer like myself, the whole thing seems moot, seeing as how the Soviet Union would have died in several weeks regardless of the NKAO's declaration of independence. (And, of course, if Azerbaijan had allowed it to go on its way, the NKR today would be an independent nation consisting perhaps of only the NKAO, rather than an ongoing two-decade belligerency controlling the entire southwest corner of Azerbaijan) --Golbez (talk) 15:47, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
You're rather misinformed about the legal basis of the conflict, Golbez :) Or rather, underinformed. NKAO Supreme Soviet (which consisted mainly of ethnic Armenians) was denied the petition to be transferred to Armenian SSR both by the Azerbaijan SSR and the Supreme Soviet of USSR in 1988. The referendum for secession was held after most of ethnic Azerbaijani community was expelled from NKAO and after Supreme Soviet of Azerbaijan SSR voted on declaration of independence. Moreover, according to Azerbaiani SSR constitution and that of independent Azerbaijan, the local referendums and their results have to be approved by the Azerbaijani government and the overall referendum in Azerbaijan. In other words, the whole country has to approve or veto the referendum results. The independence of "NKR" was also announced in the beginning of 1992, when Azerbaijan has already proclaimed independence in late 1991 and was independent by January 1, 1992. The independence by NKR holds no legal ground since the Constitution of USSR from 1977 and Amendment on secessions from 1990 (which is always misinterpreted) and the Azerbaijani SSR and independent Azerbaijan constitutions have been disregarded. Tuscumbia (talk) 16:00, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
No, I think I'm well-informed; I know about wanting to be transferred to the Armenian SSR. My comment was about [as I understand it] NK's assertion that, as an autonomous oblast of the Soviet Union, they had the right to secede, whereas the Azeri stance is that they were an autonomous oblast of the Azeri SSR. One step removed that eliminated the legality of secession. I agree with the Azeris on this one. Basically, the Karabakh separatists recognized the legitimacy of Moscow more than Baku. And from what I understand, the NKAO initially preferred to remain within the USSR, regardless of the AzSSR's independence, but when that was no longer viable, went for independence themselves. The Soviets clearly knew what they were doing by setting some of these areas apart, looking at the issues in South Ossetia and Abkhazia as well as NK, but they just as clearly didn't have a way of dealing with the issues as the house of cards fell. Finally, one last note: Enclosing "NKR" in quotes as if it's a figment of someone's imagination (though you aren't consistent with that) is not the path to civil discourse. It's nice to be able to have a discussion on a subject without massive subtext in every mention of said subject. The politicians involved may of course wish to always refer to it as the "so-called", "self-proclaimed" "NKR" at every mention, but as civilians with no dog in this fight, I think the least we can do is be honest in our communications. --Golbez (talk) 16:51, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Not really. NKAO preferred to be annexed to Armenian SSR and the initial calls by Abel Agambejyan (Gorbachev's right hand man) in France in 1987 were exactly that. The initial petitions involved outright annexation including Armenian SSR issuing a proclamation and budget including a part for NKAO as if it was now theirs, however, when the Armenian nationalists saw that Soviet Union will collapse and outright annexation is not going to be justified under the international law, they switched to self-determination principle to create a new state (which actually hosts Armenian army, uses Armenian currency, etc.) Self determination is practised but within the international law, i.e. self-determining state has to comply with the constitution of the governing state it wants to separate from and all international norms. In case of "NKR", we didn't see it. Sorry, I put "NKR" in quotes because it's just my personal preference. And you're right about Soviets. They intentionally created conflict zones to be able to play on ethnic strives. Tuscumbia (talk) 17:05, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Good work, Tuscumbia. Creation of this article was in my 'to do list' and this is really a good news you already done it. Beagel (talk) 21:08, 7 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Tahira Tahirova edit

If you look across wikipedia, Dennis Hopper etc you'll see this is actually standard. You had born 1913 which is misleading as she died in 1991. At least have it as (1913-1991). Dr. Blofeld White cat 21:28, 8 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

It's not really universal since many articles do not follow that format, but I guess it can be kept as in Dennis Hopper article. The way I see it, the point of keeping it short is to avoid repetitive text and redundancy. Tuscumbia (talk) 21:33, 8 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

I don't mean to sound arrogant but do you know how many articles I've written? I've started around 1 in 60 of all wikipedia articles so you'd think I have a pretty good idea of what the norm is mate. Trust me birthdates and year next to name in bold is a standard procedure on here. John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Alimardan Topchubashov etc. Ask anybody. The infobox is an added touch which is if anything redundant not the intro to the article and the other way around. Veyr much like your work on oilfields and Azerbaijan thought. Keep up the good work which ever format you choose... Dr. Blofeld White cat 21:38, 8 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Doesn't sound arrogant. The thing is that most of the editors review other existing and similar articles and base their new ones on them. So, if one way is the norm, then the rest should be gradually changed as well. The part about misleading text you mentioned can be true though, because just mentioning (born in 1913) for a deceased individual can be indeed misleading in the intro. Thanks for your help.Tuscumbia (talk) 21:48, 8 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

If the birthdates don't exist then it is the norm to write the years (1913-1991) but generally from my experience if the birth dates exist you should most certainly include them in the intro. Yes, the infobox does tend to replicate a lot given in the text but it is meant to be a factual summary, this is why. Keep up the good work, nice to see people working on countries like Azerbaijan. If only our Azerbaijani village articles could be expanded!! Dr. Blofeld White cat 09:09, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Makes sense. OK, will be indicating the birthdays in the intro. I'll try to expand the village articles. The main problem is that they don't take much information out online. The information is mainly delivered on towns and cities. That's the case with many developing countries. Thanks! Tuscumbia (talk) 13:31, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi Tuscumbia edit

Thanks for your work on Valeh Barshadly. I wanted to ask you about the first military unit of the new army. Was the place where it was formed Settlement No. 110? Is Settlement No. 110 and Shikhovo the same place? Is that what the Azerbaijani text means? Buckshot06 (talk) 03:31, 13 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi Buckshot06, No it seems the number of the military unit (location) is 18-110. Perhaps, it's some internal numbering. At least, that's what the source says and it's most likely the division of the 4th army. There are limited number of sources on that. I tried to search for more sources on 18-110. Haven't found any yet. Tuscumbia (talk) 13:02, 13 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Ah-hah. It's a Ministry of Defence (Soviet Union) 'Military Unit Number' - I think. A code number that bears no resemblance to any unit title. Every Soviet Armed Forces unit had a five digit code number, in this case probably 18110. I assume you speak Russian?- best place to inquire is with the soldat.ru Ground Forces forum, probably asking for a man named Vladimir Feskov, who literally wrote the book on the Soviet Army during the Cold War. His book does not list any motor rifle regiment of the 4th Army at Shikovo, but I've transferred the details from his book about the regiments of the 295th Motor Rifle Division, which was at Baku or technically 'Baku-1,' to the 4th Army (Soviet Union) page. Buckshot06 (talk) 20:40, 13 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Oh, I see what you're saying. I'll inquire there then, maybe they can answer. My guess is that they also had inter-republic numbers too. You did a great job in the 4th army article. Do have the hard copy of his book or is it also available online? And thanks for correcting the 3rd army to 3rd Shock Army. Tuscumbia (talk) 21:47, 13 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
No problem. I've sent you an e-mail, so once you respond I'll send you the online-accessible version of Mr. Feskov's book. Buckshot06 (talk) 21:54, 13 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Replied. Thanks much. Tuscumbia (talk) 22:01, 13 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Could you please amend Barshadly's dates in office to a consistent set? Azerbaijani Armed Forces and Minister of Defense (Azerbaijan) list only late 1991-early 1992, while his article lists almost a full year. Could you explain the difference (acting? deputy? whatever) in the relevant articles and make them all consistent? Buckshot06 (talk) 22:55, 13 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Buckshot, you have an eagle eye :) You are absolutely correct. His term lasted until December 1991 (specific date unknown) and he was then appointed Deputy Minister and Chief of Staff. The source that shows the presidential decree actually says president relieved him of his duties as Deputy Minister and Chief of Staff, not Minister. Good catch Buckshot. I corrected it in the article. As far as the difference between acting and deputy goes, deputy is self-explanatory; it's the person next in charge to the minister. Ministers have several deputies (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc) and when the minister is not in position to work for any reasons (travelling, sick, assassinated, etc), then the deputy temporarily assumes his duties and becomes acting (I wikilinked it to explanation). Sort of what US Vice President would do if President could not work Tuscumbia (talk) 13:38, 14 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Tuscumbia. I well understand what 'deputy' and 'acting' are, but wanted to have it made clear in the articles as to what exactly Bashadly's post was during the period. Can you please check the list of Ministers of Defence at Azerbaijani Armed Forces, which has been missing a citation for a long time, and provide a citation? Also, do you have a list of the Azerbaijani Chief of General Staff after Bashadly? Buckshot06 (talk) 23:11, 14 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

No problem. I provided citations for the Ministers of Defense article and will keep adding sources as they appear online. Yes, Buckshot, here is the list of chiefs of staff [6] for now but it seems to be incomplete date-wise. So, I'm still looking for concrete dates of their terms. Please let me know if you find any as well. This is the list: Silahlı Qüvvələrin Baş Qərargah rəisləri: (Chiefs of Staff)

  • 1918-1920 Həbib bəy Səlimov
  • 1918-1920 Məmməd bəy Sulkeviç
  • 09.1991-05.1992 Polkovnik Şahin Musayev
  • 05.1992-10.1992 General-leytenant Valeh Bərşadlı
  • 1992-1993 Polkovnik Səfər Əbiyev
  • 1993-... Polkovnik Rüfət Əmirov
  • ...-... Gen.-may. Nurəddin Sadıqov
  • ...- Gen.-polk. Nəcməddin Sadıqov

Hərbi Dəniz Qüvvələrinin komandanları: (Commanders of the Navy)

  • 1992-2000 birinci dərəcəli kapitan Rafik Əskərov
  • 2000-2003 birinci dərəcəli kapitan Fuad Yusifov
  • 2003- vitse-admiral Şahin Sultanov

Although, some sources are a little off. Valeh Barshadly is shown as Chief of Staff from May to October 1992, when he was removed on September 4, 1992 as per another source Presidential Decree. The dates from those times of political turmoil are really hard to track. Tuscumbia (talk) 20:35, 15 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

coup in Azerbaijan (1992) edit

You can write an article coup in Azerbaijan (1992). Here is the text describing these events to the Russian version of article Mutalibov. For such events should be detailed description.

После того как 8 мая пала Шуша у здания Верховного Совета сторонники Муталибова организуют митинг с требованием восстановления его на посту президента. 14 мая на сессии Верховного Совета за восстановление Аяза Муталибова в качестве президента проголосовали 219 из 250 присутствующих в зале депутатов (оппозиция отсутствовала)[1]. В тот же день первым своим указом восстановленый президент ввёл в Баку чрезвычайное положение и комендантский час, запрещены митинги и демонстрации с 0 часов 15 мая[1]. В ответ на восстановление Муталибова на посту президента страны начался митинг сторонников оппозиции у здания НФА. Утром 15 мая руководство Народного фронта выдвинуло Муталибову ультиматум с требованием добровольно уйта до 15.00 с поста президента[1]. С истечением срока ультиматума оппозиция начала марш к президентской резиденции и вскоре захватила власть в городе. Председатель военной комиссии Народного фронта Азербайджана Фахмин Гаджиев в 18.00 по телевидению объявил, что город, кроме президентского дворца, контролируется силами оппозиции, и продлил срок ультиматума президенту до 20.00[1].В 19 часов объявляется, что все войска переходят под контроль НФА, а в 21 часа без штурма был занят президентский дворец[2].

Khosrov bey Sultanov edit

Hello. Recently you added a citation to a book from the "Webster's Quotations, Facts and Phrases" series published by Icon Group International to this article. Unfortunately, Icon Group International is not a reliable source - their books are computer-generated, with most of the text copied from Wikipedia (most entries have [WP] by them to indicate this, see e.g. [9]). I've only removed the reference, not the text it was referencing. I'm removing a lot of similar references as they are circular references; many other editors have also been duped by these sources. Despite giving an appearance of reliability, the name "Webster's" has been public domain since the late 19th century. Another publisher to be wary of as they reuse Wikipedia articles is Alphascript Publishing. Fences&Windows 19:06, 25 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the caption correction, and for the article itself, which is a nice start. To answer your questions:

My source was [14]. Of course, that's a wiki, so it may not be reliable, although if they actually did use Scurtu and Neagoe, it should be pretty good. Anyway, feel free to rework the template as you see fit, at least until one of us accesses a reliable source listing the ministers. - Biruitorul Talk 20:56, 20 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
OK, I'll make some edits to the template linking it with new articles I already created. However, the list I from Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Romania) seems to be incomplete as well. For instance, Ion Stoian is missing even though he served as the minister for a very short time while he is in your template. I'll be making additions and corrections.

re: Avram Bunaciu edit

Sorry, I wasn't able to find a date. The few Romanian sources I've found on the web generally confirm what is already written in the article, and I have some doubts about their use as reliable sources, so I decided to leave the article as it is now.

Again thanks and have a good time. --TIAYN (talk) 17:03, 8 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

First I want to know one thing; why are you so interested in Norway and Azerbajian... Is it because both are oil rich nations?? If i'm intruding sorry, Its just that i've never met another none-Norwegian here who is interested in either of these countries!... On second note, are there any specific platform images I should upload?? + I doubt there are any free images there; Norway is very strict when it comes to material and possible copyright status, why? I don't know. --TIAYN (talk) 19:35, 8 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
Good question but no specific reason :) Both countries are oil rich but being a long time oil and gas exporter, Norway didn't have too many articles on its fields or they were underdeveloped in Wikipedia, such as Oseberg oil field that I expanded. That's why I created several articles on Norwegian oil and gas fields. However, there is a lot to be done. There are still many fields and terminals which need articles in Wikipedia. One can go nuts just by looking at the list in NPD :) No, I think any good pictures from public domains or maybe with permission from NPD, can be uploaded. They would just make the articles better. Too bad I don't speak Norwegian, there are lots of sources that are available in Norwegian only. :) Tuscumbia (talk) 20:09, 8 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
I must admit; I have no clue what an NDP is!... Second, I didn't find any public domains photos.. Third, I could probably help you on some articles which are lacking in info, that is if you want of course. --TIAYN (talk) 18:04, 9 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
NDP is OLJEDIREKTORATET and stands for Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (website: http://www.npd.no/engelsk/cwi/pbl/en/index.htm). It provides information about all Norwegian oil and gas fields, i.e. abandoned, active, prospects, etc. Do you think maybe you can download the photos from flickr, if there are any on the Norwegian fields? But of course, if you have time :) Tuscumbia (talk) 18:54, 9 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
Its awkward to admit but you know much more about Norwegian petroleum and oil industry than i do ;) I should give more attention to the subject, but I am presently working on Soviet-related articles, so it may take some time. About those images of Flickr i can check, but it may take a while seeing that I don't know many of these Flickr uploading criterias.. Second, you can probably upload fair-use images on oil rig/platform pages which are inactive (seeing that there probably exist very few public domain photages of these.

DYK for National Assembly of Azerbaijan edit

Gatoclass (talk) 06:04, 9 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

New section edit

I would not mind seeing at least one source (in Azerbaijani) in that section, no. An overall history, a collection of official documents, speeches and statements, an account of the war during a certain time period, etc.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 20:03, 15 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

But having that in the article is not necessary, especially since you were concerned about the size of the article. Tuscumbia (talk) 20:06, 15 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
I was concerned about the content of the body, not ancillary links and sources. If one were to add an external link or two in the External Links section, provided that they were relevant, I don't believe that I would have any objections. Likewise, I do not think that the addition of a source or two would overly encumber that area, especially considering that it has been sub-divided into sections.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 20:11, 15 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
You were concerned about the grammar, then about the size, then about the content, after each instance was met with compromise but that's irrelevant now. The book "Encyclopedia of the Karabakh Liberation War: 1988-1994" by Ayvazian you're adding has a POV title. It's like me adding Armenia: The Secrets of a "Christian" Terrorist State by Samuel Weems. How would you react to that? Tuscumbia (talk) 20:19, 15 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
An encyclopedia or a collection of documents are miles, (lightyears actually), away from a racist tract which says that Armenians have "infiltrated" the United States and "established colonies" there and accuses Armenians of trying to "fleece" Christian nations of money for their "genocide industry" (which he in either case crudely discounts as a fabrication). I'm sorry that you are unable to distinguish the difference between a source which attempts to genuinely explain its version of the events and a source which is clearly propaganda in aim and nature.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 20:51, 15 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
Well, there you go. That's the reaction. I expected nothing less. And it's fine because that's what you choose to believe in. Everyone has a right for an opinion. It's not the actual book Armenia: The Secrets of a "Christian" Terrorist State which I offered to cite, it's the reaction I wanted to see from you. Any Azerbaijani source I would add, would be met with words like "fabrication", "falsifying", "racist", etc. And what does Ayvazian present? Is it anything less than that? I doubt that. By the same token, I could say ethnic cleansing of nearly 1 million ethnic Azerbaijanis from their homes can't be possibly called Karabakh "liberation", because it does sound pretty racist, inconsiderate and inhumane to me. I'm sorry, but your POV book you want to cite in the article is not acceptable. Tuscumbia (talk) 21:14, 15 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Ah, good show, then, sir. You can pat yourself on the back all you like now that you know you tricked me into saying what you wanted.

For all that, Ayvazyan is the editor to an encyclopedia which has entries written by multiple authors, including historians and military figures who participated in the conflict. If the views expressed in the Azerbaijani source are done without the typical agit-prop nonsense and character assassinations against entire peoples and tarring them with such damaging nouns and adjectives as "barbarians" and "deceptive", I would have no reason to exclude them. What an Azerbaijani is going to feel is, naturally, going to differ with an Armenian's sentiments. Armenians felt that the Karabakh war was one of liberation against seventy years of Azerbaijani oppression and a life or death struggle that was trying to combat a repeat of what took place in Nakhichevan over that same period. Perspective matters.

I'm sorry you're so ill-disposed to even good-faith suggestions. It only seems to make the editing environment here all the more hostile. --Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 21:33, 15 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

No tricks. Just solid expectations which you proved right. The stories written on the subject by Ayvazian or whichever author from Armenia will most likely not differ from each other. I don't think any of them did, are or will hesitate to suppress the information about Azerbaijani heritage of not only Karabakh but also that of Armenia. So, yes what an Armenian feels will differ from Azerbaijani sentiments. Azerbaijanis feel they were forcibly driven out from their homes in Armenia in mass deportations and ethnic cleansing. Armenians in Karabakh are free to feel they were oppressed although how can a minority be oppressed if it's provided with substantial funding from the government of the republic, has its own autonomy parliament, has several parliamentarians representing the minority in the parliament of the country and has had Armenian schools, TV and radio all along. Look at Ottoman Empire where Armenian minority lived in peace for 600 years practising their language and religion while other empires suppressed the minorities to their will, converting and restricting use of minority languages. And at the end, the Armenian revolt :)

State Commission for Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of Occupied Territories edit

This is apparently a Azerbaijani government agency. Is there anything about it on the Arm or Az wikis, or elsewhere on the net, that you could point me to? I'd like to create a stub with the mine action authority information that people have added to Azerbaijani Armed Forces that simply doesn't belong there. Buckshot06 (talk) 07:21, 2 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi Buckshot. No, it's not an independent government agency per se. From what I see from Azerbaijani sources (mostly orders and decrees of the government in Azeri), it's a commission, but not an agency. It is often mentioned along with State Committee for Refugees and IDPs, so it must be its component agency or something.
I don't know if they are conducting any mine action but I'll keep searching and will definitely let you know if I come across anything substantial. Thanks! Tuscumbia (talk) 14:22, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
What I was trying to make clear was that this removed section on mine clearance could form the basis for an article on the commission or a section in whatever larger-scope article (Az Min of Internal Affairs?) covers it. Please wind it in if you see the opportunity. Buckshot06 (talk) 22:16, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
Oh I see now. OK, I'll search around and if I find anything, I'll let you know. Thanks! Tuscumbia (talk) 22:47, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi Tuscumbia. I first heard about these three articles from User:Takabeg a week or two ago - you'll see on my talkpage. I then was re-warned by User:MarshallBagramyan about them yesterday. He asked me to evaluate the sources they were citing because he said the sources cited did not appear to prove the actual existence of the massacres. (He said) the articles were written in such a way as present allegations as facts. Before starting my investigation I bore in mind that MarshallBagramyan had raised the NK War article to FA standard, thus was relatively likely to be able to give some controversial subjects dispassionate treatment. Having checked the English-language sources I saw that they did not prove that actual massacres had taken place. Yes, attacks upon retreating civilians by irregulars had definitely occurred, but whether large numbers of civilians had been deliberately killed in cold blood was not proven. Therefore I decided to delete the articles, without prejudice to their recreation should they appear to present the events in a slightly more balanced fashion. Does that explain my actions more fully? Regards Buckshot06 (talk) 23:14, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

New section edit

My imagination does have to go too far to venture out the guess that this edit was done in retaliation for the edits carried out on the massacre articles today. Regardless of what took place, to add frivolous tags in retaliation on another article is a violation of WP:POINT. The same three tags that were found on those articles were all placed in the same order on the Maraghar Massacre article. Since when, pray tell, did sources like BBC News, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch constitute "unreliable" sources? I can see the point of Caroline Cox being an individual who has great affection for Armenians but, again, to add the unreliability tag seems to not only belabor the point but to emphasize an entirely new one. There was no inherent POV expressed in the article as far as I can tell and everything was properly attributed. That finally brings us to the question of notability. Maraghar may have been poorly-covered in contemporary news sources but its importance in the conflict seems to be warranted by the coverage it has received by the above-mentioned human rights organizations, journalists like Mr. Thomas de Waal, and the editors at BBC.

With that said, I ask you not to make such ill-faith edits nor to retaliate again against other articles when you are having discussions on others elsewhere. Thank you.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 03:19, 21 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

My addition of tags on the Maraghar Massacre article are in line with Wikipedia policies. They have no interference with anything else. Following Atabey's comment on comparison of Maraghar and those three massacres, I took a look at the Maraghar Massacre and added tags.
Please note that this your final warning for crossing the line with your comments like "make such ill-faith edits ". Mind WP:CIVIL or you will be reported. Tuscumbia (talk) 14:47, 21 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Your recent reverting of some of my edits edit

Please stop wholesale reverting another editor's edits. I have added explanations on the talk pages on the Sayat-Nova and Ghazanchetsots Cathedral pages. The content that you have been reinserting indicates that I am justified in calling them blind reverts: you are restoring material that is clearly wrong, such as mistakes in grammar and wording, and in your recent revert to the Zar page you reinserted the incorrect term "calqued", even though it is obviously the wrong term to use in this situation (did you read the wikipedia article it linked to?). 93.97.143.19 (talk) 14:11, 21 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Warning on edit-warring and disruptive editing edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful, then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Vandorenfm (talk) 02:51, 12 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Notice of sanctions edit

  The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose, at their own discretion, sanctions on any editor working on pages broadly related to Armenia-Azerbaijan and related conflicts if the editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in further inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions including blocks, a revert limitation or an article ban. The committee's full decision can be read at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan 2#Final decision. While I'm not necessarily implying you've yet risen to this level, I do see some edit warring and civility issues in your recent past (e.g., an accusation of purposeful misleading [17]). As such, this is a reminder to please pay attention to general civility and WP:BRD guidelines. Thanks. Magog the Ogre (talk) 12:38, 13 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry but you have been misled yourself. The diff you posted above is misleading by itself.

Please follow to the linked articles on those villages and you will see where they are located. Tuscumbia (talk) 14:12, 13 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I am assuming good faith and simply battling with POV which newly created accounts (obviously coordinated effort) add to the articles. So, it's either an agenda to pull me into sanctions by provoking to get engaged in edit-warring, or a mass effort to re-write the history. Tuscumbia (talk) 14:23, 13 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Arbitration enforcement topic ban edit

In enforcement and application of Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan 2#Amended Remedies and Enforcement, you are topic-banned from Armenia and Azerbaijan, including notably any conflicts with other countries or peoples, as defined at WP:TBAN.

January 2011 edit

 
To enforce an arbitration decision, you have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for violating your topic ban regarding Armenia and Azerbaijan at [18]. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing arbitration enforcement blocks and follow the instructions there to appeal your block.  Sandstein  15:34, 31 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Notice to administrators: In a March 2010 decision, the Committee held that "Administrators are prohibited from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except: (a) with the written authorization of the Committee, or (b) following a clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors at a community discussion noticeboard (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI). If consensus in such discussions is hard to judge or unclear, the parties should submit a request for clarification on the proper page. Any administrator that overturns an enforcement action outside of these circumstances shall be subject to appropriate sanctions, up to and including desysopping, at the discretion of the Committee."

Hi Tuscumbia, I've reviewed your DYK nomination but there is a problem. Could you take a look at T:TDYK#Borjomi (water)? Thanks SmartSE (talk) 16:15, 20 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Sorry that it didn't fly. While there may have been other issues w/ article, its dispatch of the above from DYK was curious. While it may be have been speculation on Georgia's part, the refs do say that the Russian implementation of the ban was to assert itself, and was seen as a manipulation and/or punishment.

Ref 7 "Russia extended its economic pressure on Georgia, banning the import of the popular Borjomi mineral water to Russian markets...Georgia has dismissed the claim as a pretext for manipulating access to Russia's huge consumer markets as a means to punish neighbors not deemed sufficiently compliant or loyal."
Ref 8 "Kremlin critics, however, see the announcement as part of a developing de facto economic blockade in response to Georgia's alignment with the West."

Seems like a missed opportunity to make DYK less USA-centric. It's a nice article. Djflem (talk) 09:04, 25 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Your GA nomination of Borjomi (water) edit

The article Borjomi (water) 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 seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Borjomi (water) for things which need to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:49, 28 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Jezhotwells, I appreciate your response. I'll work on those itemized points in a minute. Basically, the tagged portions all are sourced to the main website of the company. I'll add the source to each sentence you tagged for citation. I'll also ask the Georgian users for help since I don't speak any Georgian. Perhaps, there are sources in Georgian which could possibly improve the article. Stay tuned. I'll get back with you. Thanks a lot. Tuscumbia (talk) 14:08, 29 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Formal mediation has been requested edit

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Karabakh". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 12 December 2011.

Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.
Message delivered by MediationBot (talk) on behalf of the Mediation Committee. 18:44, 5 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Request for mediation accepted edit

The request for formal mediation of the dispute concerning Karabakh, in which you were listed as a party, has been accepted by the Mediation Committee. The case will be assigned to an active mediator within two weeks, and mediation proceedings should begin shortly thereafter. Proceedings will begin at the case information page, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Karabakh, so please add this to your watchlist. Formal mediation is governed by the Mediation Committee and its Policy. The Policy, and especially the first two sections of the "Mediation" section, should be read if you have never participated in formal mediation. For a short guide to accepted cases, see the "Accepted requests" section of the Guide to formal mediation. You may also want to familiarise yourself with the internal Procedures of the Committee.

As mediation proceedings begin, be aware that formal mediation can only be successful if every participant approaches discussion in a professional and civil way, and is completely prepared to compromise. Please contact the Committee if anything is unclear.

You've been calling me a sockpuppet for months, I think its only fair if I returned the favor. --George Spurlin (talk) 19:38, 4 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have heard that "I am no sockpuppet" statement for a number of times. Open the pages on Meowy, Hetoum I, Xebulon. That's where most of them ended up. Secondly, sockpuppet is not to be compared to your derogatory word "chauvinist". I hope you got the warning. Thank you. Tuscumbia (talk) 19:43, 4 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
For the ninth time, why don't you file a report? and FYI Chauvinist: "excessive or blind patriotism" is not a derogatory word. Someone who spends hours on wikipedia is either a chauvinist, or is being paid by the Azerbaijani government. I hope its the latter, because the first one is unhealthy. --George Spurlin (talk) 19:56, 4 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
There is no use of report in this case since the last several socks were evading block by switching locations and were eventually caught for the reasons only admins will know. Like I said, scroll through those reports and you'll see, if you like to pretend. I spend hours because I am a normal editor contributing to Wikipedia. Patriotism? Excuse me, but try that on someone who is an Azeri.
Right, I get paid by the Azerbaijani government, I own a villa in the suburb of Baku and eat black caviar for dinner. :) Tuscumbia (talk) 20:06, 4 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Could you check the user Yerevanci who insists in changing the article Ermenikend to Armenikend? edit

Could you check the user Yerevanci who insists in changing the article Ermenikend to Armenikend? The user reverts the Redirect page to the article Ermenikend and reverts the text in the redirected Armenikend version, thus becoming a duplicate of the original Ermenikend article.

The name is Azerbaijani, and there is no justification and any credible arguement by this user to change it into the false spelling of Armenikend in the English language Wikipedia, especially using the corruption of the name from third languages (in this case Russian). I addressed this in the talk page of the article. I reverted them to the original state as well as reverted the internal wiki link to that article in the Armenians in Baku article. But the user still violates it.

Saguamundi (talk) 02:35, 31 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I am aware and I have repeatedly said that; however, my point is being ignored. I even said the same thing when a number of sockpuppets battled over renaming the article at the very beginning. With their logic, an Azerbaijani location name can be transliterated into Russian and from then on, to English and used as the main name. Tuscumbia (talk) 15:51, 31 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Discretionary Sanctions - Armenia/Azerbaijan Topic Ban edit

Persuant to the conversation at Talk:Murovdag and my repeated warnings to your there, your refusal to cease tendentious editing and statement of intent to continue doing so on the article and talk page, you are topic banned from articles related to Armenia and Azerbaijan, broadly construed including conflicts with any other countries or people across all talk pages and article spaces. Given your previous topic bans in this area, and your last ban having been six months, this ban will be in effect for one year. Violation of this ban will lead to blocks. --WGFinley (talk) 19:26, 1 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

It's a shame people like you are given administrative authority which you obviously misuse. I'll see you in one of the boards soon. Thanks for taking sides, especially with a bunch of socks (excluding Vacio and some established users). Tuscumbia (talk) 19:37, 1 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Tuscumbia, I think you should appeal this decision. It seems to be a rather inappropriate ban under the circumstances. Wg was getting a little too involved in the dispute to reasonably justify using his administrative authority outside the regular AE process in a situation where, as far as I can tell, you were not actually violating any policies. I don't think he is a bad admin most of the time, but sometimes he gets a little too heated.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 17:32, 1 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Hi The Devil's Advocate. Apologies if I am replying late. Just read the email notification about your post on my talk page. I really appreciate your comment. I do agree with you that the topic ban was not warranted. I didn't violate any rules. On contrary, a number of newly registered socks or ducks whatever one may call them, ambushed me and the article. Neither they nor he were able to answer the questions I posted for dispute resolution. Even WGFinley himself had suggested to place a topic ban on those new accounts which suspiciously appeared during the same period and started professional editing of controversial pages. But instead, he chose to topic ban me, a long time user, who has edited and created hundreds of articles on many topics, many even unrelated to the area in which I was banned. And those 4-5 socks went unpunished. So, this admin chose to block an experienced and established contributor to Wikipedia project with a well-established record over a bunch of socks who were brought just to drag established users into arbitrations and reports and mess up articles. Those will never be caught, because they now know how to evade bans and game the system. This kind of behavior by an admin discourages editors contributing on daily basis. That's the reason, I shut down my Wikipedia activity, at least temporarily. I appreciate your post though. :) Tuscumbia (talk) 21:29, 2 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Well, just saying that an appeal could be looked at favorably given that this happened outside the normal process and under rather inappropriate circumstances. You can go to AE with an appeal and since you are a month in on a year-long topic ban it shouldn't be too much of a problem.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 21:40, 2 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

This situation reminds me very much of what happened to another user. The sock account managed to place an established user on a 1 year topic ban: [20] Note the complaint of the sock: The immediate concern is his editing of the article on Caucasian Albania, where User:Twilight Chill continues waging an edit war against 5 (five) other unrelated editors (Aram-van, Gorzaim, Vandorenfm, MarshallBagramyan, Xebulon). 4 of 5 accounts that he mentioned turned out later to be socks (User:Aram-van, User:Gorzaim, User:Vandorenfm, and User:Xebulon). Yet the established user with tons of excellent contributions in various areas (not just AA) was placed on a 1 year topic ban, which he had served by now. The tactic of baiting the established users and placing them under sanctions works well. Grandmaster 22:06, 2 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Request for help concerning energy... edit

Hi,

I noticed you listed yourself as a participant of the Energy WikiProject.

There are 2 new outlines in this area that attempt to consolidate Wikipedia's coverage of their respective subjects, gathering and organizing the articles about them into one place and including descriptions for convenience. The purposes of these outlines are to make it easier for readers to survey or review a whole subject, and to choose from Wikipedia's many articles about it.

The new energy outlines are:

Please take a look at them, and....

if you spot missing topics, add them in.
if you can, improve the descriptions.
add missing descriptions.
show parent-offspring relationships (with indents).
fix errors.

For more information about the format and functions of outlines, see Wikipedia:Outlines.

Building outlines of existing material (such as Wikipedia) is called "reverse outlining". Reverse outlines are useful as a revision tool, for identifying gaps in coverage and for spotting poor structuring.

Revising a work with multiple articles (such as Wikipedia) is a little different than revising a paper. But the general principles are the same...

As you develop these outlines, you may notice things about the articles they organize. Like what topics are not adequately covered, better ways to structure and present the material, awkward titles, articles that need splitting, article sections lacking {{Main}} links, etc.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Outlines.

Thank you. Sincerely, The Transhumanist 00:58, 2 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
