I've undone your recent edit to turquoise. Please don't remove reliable sources and replace them with commercial links. Vsmith (talk) 02:46, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

thanks.--Alpha Beta Gaga (talk) 12:47, 3 October 2010 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. However, the website you added just now is a tourism promotion site and not an WP:RS, further the site does not say turquoise is from Central Asia - rather from Persia, and that fact is already well sourced. Vsmith (talk) 12:58, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for attempting to harass other users. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Sandstein  07:32, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

The above block is in reaction to this message by you, which violates abot every rule of conduct not only on Wikipedia (see WP:NPA, WP:CIVIL, WP:BATTLE, WP:EQ) but also of polite society altogether. It is unacceptable to misuse Wikipedia as a forum in which to pursue real-world conflicts or grievances.  Sandstein  07:35, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

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 Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan 2.  Sandstein  07:35, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for personal attacks and harrassment as explained here. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Sandstein  21:05, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

As explained here, as an arbitration enforcement action, per WP:ARBAA2, you are topic-banned (see WP:TBAN) from everything to do with Armenia and Armenians for the duration of six months. In addition, as a normal administrator action, you are indefinitely blocked for your incredibly severe personal attacks against. Any administrator may unblock you, in response to an unblock request (see WP:GAB), if they are convinced that you understand what you did wrong and that you will not do it again.

 * Your unblock request above does not work because you wrote it into my message. I've copied it out for you below so that it appears correctly. In addition I have blocked your apparent additional account .  Sandstein   06:26, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
