Talk:Battle of Yeghevārd

Kaveh Farrokh
Per the work and statement made by Doug Weller, Farrokh is not a reliable source since he is simply a college counselor.
 * "He really is just a counsellor, despite what some websites say. No qualifications in history, etc." Doug Weller.
 * "If he[Farrokh] wrote a book on college counselling we might use it as he has qualifications in that field, but not for politics or history." Doug Weller. --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:02, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

The name of the town this battle was fought at might be called "Yeghevard", but we need to adhere to the rules of WP:COMMONNAME I believe. There was/is no "Battle of Yeghevard" as far as I can see, and nor do any of the quoted sources on this article mention anything about "Yeghevard". They all only mention Baghavard regarding this battle. - LouisAragon (talk) 00:13, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
