2012 Istanbul rally to commemorate the Khojaly massacre
Salam Grandmaster. 2012 Istanbul rally to commemorate the Khojaly massacre səhifəsində External links bölməsində erməni jurnalistin yürüşdən özlərinin çəkdiyi videonu yerləşdiriblər, belə burda pis şey yoxdu ama video yerləşdirməkdə məqsəd yürüşü göstərmək deyil, videoya özünüz baxsanız hər şeyi başa düşəcəksiniz, video hətta yürüş iştirakçılarını ələ salır. Mən bu videonu daha obyektiv video ilə dəyişdim ama erməni user Undid edir. Yardımçı olacağınıza inanıram (talk) 23:45, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

List of architects of Baku
Can you keep check of the article List of architects of Baku due to POV reasons. This article has been hijacked and edited almost exclusively as an article of Armenian architects of Baku, even though the article according to its title is not intended as such.

Russian Caucasus map of 1903
Hello Grandmaster, I saw that you created List of mosques in Armenia. But I would like to find out the other locations besides Yerevan. I found this Russian map of 1903. Can you help me and tell what the symbols mean? I think the symbols with crescents signifies mosques or islamic monuments and the crosses churches, is this true? Bakayna (talk) 20:18, 20 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Not really. According to the legend, the map shows monasteries and villages with more than 100 houses. Mosques are not marked. Grand  master  22:15, 13 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I thought the crescent symbols could have been mosques then I could make a map based on this. Thanks for answer. Bakayna (talk) 09:33, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Could all Azeri users check and prevent the incorrect name change of the article Ermenikend into the incorrect name of "Armenikend".
Could all Azeri users check and prevent the incorrect name change of the article Ermenikend into the incorrect name of "Armenikend".

These users constantly change the correct article name of Ermenikend into the incorrect name of "Armenikend".

This was done unilaterally without any discussion and whithout any (widespread) agreement whatsoever.

Could all Azeri users also prevent the taking over of articles about Azerbaijan by Armenian users with their biased nationalistic POV agenda.

Is the Azeri wiki unsalvageable for NK topics?
Hi Grandmaster, out of interest I compared machine translated copies of the Armenian and Azeri wiki pages on Shusha – obviously both are heavily biased towards their group's narrative. On the Azeri page, I noticed 44 different cites to this piece of blatant anti-Armenian propaganda (cite 9 on the wiki page), which includes a bunch of highly dubious claims (e.g. the Armenians oppressed the Azeris in period 1920-37 – obviously implausible, as the Armenians were expelled in 1920). I see you've made a handful of edits to Azeri wiki in the past, and I was curious what your thoughts on the health of that wiki are. For example, if you attempted to remove the source on the basis that it's obviously unreliable, would editors there accept this and try to at least pay lip-service to basic standards of accuracy, or (as I fear/expect is probably the case) do you think you'd likely be reverted by the Azeri wiki community and its admins? Jr8825 •  Talk  01:09, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi Jr8825. To be honest, I have very little knowledge of what's going in az:wiki. I edit only occasionally there, mostly to fix some small errors. In general, I think the quality of az and ar wikis is not that good, because they can push their narratives without any opposition or oversight from third party editors. The same goes for the quality of sourcing. Very often it falls short of academic standards. I don't know who the admins are there, and what their reaction would be. But if you wish, you could try to make a few edits and see how their community reacts. I think that is the only way to know. Grand  master  08:48, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Admin of azwiki here. I can totally say that azwiki community POV-pushing in Azerbaijan-Armenia topic. Grandmaster is right. There was even a discussion in the Meta because of these. One of our admins abused his admin tools to block/ban the user who deleted the biased/non-neutral and copyrighted content from the articles. He is no longer an admin and left the wiki that year. You can also read this discussion about Shusha fortress. One of users tried to remove photo from article because it has Armenia flag (not even 10px). Read sefer azeri's comments. He tried to explain but they didn't want to listen him. NMW03 (talk) 11:27, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Erivan Khanate
Hi Grandmaster. What was the reason for the removal of this sourced content? - LouisAragon (talk) 23:23, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi. In the Russian empire, the term Tatar was used to refer exclusively to the Turkic people. In addition, a traveler is not a good source on statistics, because he in fact quotes Russian imperial census of 1897, but slightly distorts the figures. I quoted them referring to Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary. I think the best source on Russian imperial statistics are Russian imperial sources, and Russians knew very well the difference between the Turks and the Persians. They were counted as separate groups in the census. Grand  master  23:35, 9 November 2021 (UTC)


 * 1890’s was half-Armenian, half-Tatar (i.e. Azeri, although Lynch thought that many among the Muslims were actually Persians)"


 * The correct figure is 49% Azeri, 48% Armenian, as per census data, and I think it would be good to attribute Lynch's opinion to him. like traveler Lynch thought that... Grand  master  23:50, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

, I also checked the original source, and this is what Lynch writes:

When it is remembered that the Tartars compose one-half of the inhabitants and are numerous in the districts about Erivan, the poor show which they make among the inmates of this important school is a very significant fact.

''The Tartars of Erivan are for the most part of Turkish descent, and of kindred race to the bulk of the inhabitants of the neighbouring Persian province of Azerbaijan. But some of the number included under this name in the statistics may more properly be designated as Persians. All profess the Shiah tenets.''

Do you think this could be considered a reliable source on ethnic composition of Erivan? Grand master  00:03, 10 November 2021 (UTC)


 * "Do you think this could be considered a reliable source on ethnic composition of Erivan?"
 * Unfortunately we can't use primary sources to discredit secondary/tertiary sources. If thats what you meant of course; if not, then please do let me know.
 * We'd need proper secondary (or tertiary) sources stating that Lynch's claim about Persians is bullocks. Primary sources can't be used for that. Per WP:RSPRIMARY: "All interpretive claims, analyses, or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary source, rather than original analysis of the primary-source material by Wikipedia editors." The Lynch material I mentioned is from a good source (Iranica), in an entry written by specialists. - LouisAragon (talk) 00:38, 10 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Suggestion:
 * "According to the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary, published in the final decades of the Russian Empire, Russians made up 2 %, Armenians 48 % and Aderbeijani Tatars 49 % of the population of Erivan in the 1890s. The traveller H. F. B. Lynch however thought that many among the Muslims were actually Persians when he visited the city within the same decade."
 * Thoughts? - LouisAragon (talk) 00:38, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * That would work. The only thing is that Lynch says "some", not many. Grand  master  01:04, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Final version:
 * "According to the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary, published in the final few decades of the Russian Empire, Russians made up 2 %, Armenians 48 % and Aderbeijani Tatars[j] 49 % of the population of Erivan in the 1890s.[38] The traveller H. F. B. Lynch however thought that some among the Muslims were actually Persians when he visited the city within the same decade.[39] Whereas according to modern historians Erich Kettenhofen, George Bournoutian and Robert H. Hewsen, Lynch thought many were Persian.[2]"
 * - LouisAragon (talk) 23:04, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * That is good. But Erich Kettenhofen wrote the first section in Iranica article. It is signed with his name. 2nd section was written by either Bournoutian (most likely) or Hewsen. Grand  master  23:13, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, maybe it is Ok just to refer to original work of Lynch? It is not that old to require interpretation by a modern scholar. Grand  master  23:15, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Sure. See here:  Grand  master  18:02, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that that linked discussion supports your claim ("Armenian Foreign Ministry is not a goof source for this claim").

Your edit
is not helpful. I have reverted it since not only it's WP:OR considering WP:RS literally reported low/lost supplies,, , there is another issue:

The problem described in the section is the lack of access to X and Y and Z, not their abundance. You’re confusing the words lack and absence – there is no such thing in English language as complete lack. ZaniGiovanni (talk) 17:41, 2 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Then it is better to use the words "shortage of supplies", or something similar. Grand  master  17:52, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * There is no purpose in your suggestion as Lack is already suitable:
 * lack
 * in British English
 * (læk)
 * NOUN
 * 1. an insufficiency, shortage, or absence of something required or desired
 * 2. something that is required but is absent or in short supply
 * Sources say some supplies are absent (people are unable to find certain foods, medicines, etc) and some supplies are in severe shortage. ZaniGiovanni (talk) 21:59, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * By your own example, absence is one of the meanings. Why not use then the word shortage that is more precise, and cannot imply a complete absence of supplies? If some supplies are absent, others are not, but the title implies that everything could be absent. Grand  master  23:18, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Grandmaster, some supplies are absent, and others are in shortage, and the title “lack” means (not “implies”) exactly that - not more, and not less. The section is about the problem the blockade created - lack of many things. I don't see much in continuing this discussion - you can keep arguing if you like or you may want to ask someone else, whose native language is English.

The OSCE Minsk Group is effectively defunct
Hello.

After the rest of Nagorno-Karabakh was taken over by Azerbaijan in late September/early October of 2023, the OSCE Minsk Group, which was established to solve the conflict, has been rendered defunct. One could argue that it became defunct after the end of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War with the ceasefire and provisions agreed by Azerbaijan, Armenia, Russia. That the OSCE Minsk Group is for all purposes dead, needs to be mentioned in the article.

Yours sincerely, Multituberculata (talk) 07:32, 27 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi. I agree that MG is defunct, and has been defunct since 2020 war. But do we have a reliable source to support that information? You know the rules, we can only write in the articles what reliable sources say. Grand  master  09:28, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello. I have not found any announcements and news sources about this. Perhaps there are news about this in Azerbaijani and Russian news websites, but I don't know these languages. Multituberculata (talk) 10:59, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I will look for sources. But to my knowledge news sources do not state that MG is defunct, it is usually an analysis given by experts. I'll see what I can find. Grand  master  08:59, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Multituberculata (talk) 14:16, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Officially MG did not cease to exist, since it made no declaration of its dissolution. But the Russian foreign minister said that MG was dead, and it is one of the co-chair states, and the MG was inactive for the last couple of years, especially after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. And well-known analysts like Paul Goble talk about "suspension, if not complete collapse" of the MG . So I believe we could probably cite the opinions of analysts who consider the MG to be defunct, and say that some believe the MG to be suspended. But I think it is better to continue this discussion at the talk of the article and see what other users say. Grand  master  23:09, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, this should be discussed in the talk page. For all purposes, the OSCE Minsk Group is dead rather than suspended, even though no formal declaration has been made about officially dissolving it. For example, when Putin announced that the Minsk Agreements were dead and launched the invasion of Ukraine, that article has been written in the past tense ever since. There has been no formal declaration about a formal dissolution of the Minsk Agreements, but they are dead. Regardless, of the status and technicality, this article too should eventually be written in the past tense, after this is discussed in the talk page and agreed upon. I wish you a Happy New Year. Multituberculata (talk) 09:42, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much, I wish the same to you. I will post my comment at talk of the article. Grand  master  09:57, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Grandmaster.

In the Shusha article, can you add this sentence about the T-72 tank in the text below the photo of this tank?

« When the rest of Nagorno-Karabakh was taken over by Azerbaijan after the Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh on 19–20 September 2023 and the de facto Nagorno-Karabakh Republic was dissolved, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces advanced to the outskirts of Khankendi where the tank was located, and it was removed on 22 September 2023 and subsequently destroyed. »

Thank you.
