Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Çayqovuşan, Kalbajar, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 06:03, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Again, I only made a minor edit; I removed a source that did not support the claim that it was supposed to. AlenVaneci (talk) 20:22, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed required
It has come to my attention that you have recently started to edit in articles related to Armenia and Azerbaijan, this editing area is under a community imposed extended-confirmed restriction. Your number of edits is below the threshold for editing in the area, thus you cannot currently edit in articles and content related to Armenia or Azerbaijan, please refrain from doing so, any edits you have done since this restriction was implemented should be reverted, I will take the liberty of reverting wherever it's appropriate.

 * Why should this be the case? Was my edit not factual or in any way inappropriate? The reference I removed in fact did not contain such information, I own a copy. You can view my edit history and see that I haven't made any controversial edits in the past. AlenVaneci (talk) 20:19, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, I might add, I have not "recently started to edit in articles related to Armenia and Azerbaijan". I have made a few edits here and there, not much, for over one-and-a-half years. Most of what I've done is writing sections on discussion pages, editing typos and adding Armenian names to certain articles; really nothing out of the ordinary. If I'm not mistaken, I made a total of one other edit since the implementation of the restriction. AlenVaneci (talk) 20:52, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter. You are not allowed to edit here. Read: WP:GS/AA Nemoralis (talk) 06:43, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * If it doesn't matter, don't make false statements about me. That you think it is worthy to discuss the removal of one questionable source from one article is beyond ridiculous to me. AlenVaneci (talk) 10:10, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Index Anatolicus
Hey,

Thank you for your recent contributions to Wikipedia. I have noticed that you've used Nişanyan's Index Anatolicus as source for several times. Since Index Anatolicus can be edited by anyone signed up, and Nişanyan himself is not an established scholar, I would appreciate if you could refrain from using that site in the future.

Thanks, Aintabli (talk) 18:37, 25 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey,
 * Yeah, I noticed you removed a reference to it at least once (did you check out my contributions because you thought I'm griefing?). I'm currently not aware of any reliable source to add contemporary ethnographical information to settlements in the Rep. of Turkey. Are you aware of any alternative?
 * Can it be edited though? If so, I was unaware of that; could you tell me how? I wouldn't say Nişanyan isn't an established scholar, he definitely is, but I get that demographics isn't his area of expertise. AlenVaneci (talk) 22:56, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I remember removing that source before, but another editor has also recently removed a reference you've added for the same reason, so that's why I am writing to let you know that you shouldn't use Index Anatolicus. If you hadn't noticed, there are comments made by signed up users there. Often times, they'll be mixed up with Nişanyan's own comments. There are a few more things to note about that site, but long story short, please refrain from using it, since it is clearly not WP:RS.
 * There are many sources for demographics. It depends on what you're looking for. Aintabli (talk) 03:58, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh, I checked and saw that you and Semsûrî basically went over all my recent edits lol. Thanks for telling me, I appreciate it a lot! Okay, I just now found the button to make changes, how embarrassing ahahahaha. I will stop using it.
 * If you have time: Can you recommend any work on Kurdish (or even Arab) demographics in the Republic of Turkey? Unfortunately there is a lot of conflicting information around because of unfortunate reasons. AlenVaneci (talk) 05:36, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
