Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Dougweller (talk) 15:31, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Your edits
Christianity in Turkey - in the text describing an image of ruins, despite the fact that the image states the ruins are Georgian you changed that to Armenian. Garry Kasparov - you changed " forcing thousands of ethnic Armenians to flee Azerbaijan" to "forcing hundreds of thousands of ethnic Armenians to flee Azerbaijan" despite the fact that the source didn't back your change.

At Georgia (country) you removed an image of the Ancient Georgian States of [[Colchis and Caucasian Iberia to replace it with a version of Herdotus's world map that doesn't mention these ancient states.

At Kiş, Khojavend you removed the identification of it being in Azerbaijan - the correct thing to do was to note that it is controlled by the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, not remove any mention of Azerbaijan.

I am now asking you please to use WP:Edit summaries to explain your edits. Please understand that you can be banned from any articles dealing with Armenia or Azerbaijan if you seem to be showing a pattern of disruptive editing, eg edits that systematically put one country in a worse light than another.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Armenia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Iryna Harpy (talk) 06:50, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 15:16, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Aleko, you are risking a block unless you respond to the complaints and agree to follow consensus. Articles related to Armenia are heavily monitored due to past disputes. Anyone who seems to be pursuing a personal agenda (and makes no reference to sources when changing articles) will probably draw unfavorable attention from administrators. You have now made the same revert three times at Armenia. This may suggest that your change is not supported by others. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 15:27, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

To enforce an arbitration decision, and for edit warring at Armenia, you have been blocked from editing for a period of 36 hours. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing arbitration enforcement blocks and then appeal your block using the instructions there. Bbb23 (talk) 19:36, 26 July 2014 (UTC)  Reminder to administrators: In March 2010, ArbCom adopted a procedure instructing administrators as follows: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped." Administrators who reverse this block without the clear authorisation described in that procedure will be summarily desysopped. In response to your comments at WP:AN3, accounts cannot be removed. The easiest thing to do is to stop editing here. If you wish, you can put a retire notice at the top of this page to indicate that you are no longer actively editing.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:39, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
