User talk:Smpad

February 2023
Hello, I'm Ayıntaplı. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kahramanmaraş, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Ayıntaplı (talk) 17:44, 25 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for pointing this out to me. Smpad (talk) 14:48, 26 February 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. NMW03 (talk) 13:20, 18 August 2023 (UTC)


 * NMW03, this sounds strange to me. And how many more edits do I have to do so that I can edit articles related to Armenia or Azerbaijan? Smpad (talk) 14:39, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Read WP:ECP NMW03 (talk) 15:20, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed is required
Hi. You recently made some edits on "Ilham Aliyev" article. I reverted them, because your edit count is below the threshold. I see that you have been warned already, but you still keep doing it. Please refrain to do so. Aredoros87 (talk) 18:00, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Aredoros87, colleague, can I ask you as EC user to do my edits again? Smpad (talk) 22:03, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your understanding! But sorry I cannot. Because I don't agree with that edit, since the term "Azerbaijani" is not only ethnicity, but national identity too. Anyway, this is not a right place to discuss it. And I'm actively working on another article. It would be better if you would start a discussion on the articles talk page. Good luck. Aredoros87 (talk) 11:34, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Aredoros87, yes, "Azerbaijani" is also national identity, but text states "ethnic Azerbaijanis", so the ethnicity is meant clearly. So, do you have the source that killed Azeri citizens were all ethnically Azeri Turks? Smpad (talk) 15:46, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You're right. I updated the sentence. Again, if you have further concerns please create a new thread in Talk page. Thanks. Aredoros87 (talk) 16:38, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Re: Question
I could try it myself: unlike archaic and modern English, archaic Italian is intelligible compared to modern Italian. --LukeWiller (talk) 14:00, 19 January 2024 (UTC).
 * But I have a problem: my English isn't very good, and this text is too complicated for me. At most, try writing to the Wikipedia in Italian literature project (it:Progetto:Letteratura). --LukeWiller (talk) 14:29, 19 January 2024 (UTC).
 * Thank you, colleague. With respect. Smpad (talk) 14:38, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Sources about Talysh
Hi Smpad, hope you're doing well. I can see you're still active in Talysh related stuff. Are you aware of these sources? I'm sure they will prove useful. If you can't access the pdf files, I can send them to you. HistoryofIran (talk) 22:07, 30 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Colleague, thank you for the sources! Yes, I was aware of them, but not all of them I could access until recently.
 * I am more active in Talysh topic on Russian Wikipedia, where soon at my request a mediation on the peoples of the Republic of Azerbaijan will be created, and these sources will be very useful to me. With respect, colleague. Smpad (talk) 15:33, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
