Mentorship of Andranikpasha
Per the message left (and removed) from my talkpage - if you are mentoring this user, you may wish to discuss ways he can avoid repeating the same faux pas instead of chastising other editors asking for help to stop the problematic behavior. Clearly there are strong feelings about A/A topics and that they are spilling out into loosely related articles is not a good sign. Shell  babelfish 01:58, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Armenian genocide fotos on WikiCommons
Note: A Turkish user named Молох on WikiCommons has nominated some Armenian World War I genocide images for deletion. I suppose if the images are deleted, he can claim the event never happened. See here:,  ,  and  Very sad situation. Just to let you know. --Artene50 (talk) 09:40, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. It was terrible to see Молох nominate all these Armenian genocide images for deletion when they were all in the public domain. Молох's agenda was clearly anti-Armenian and his behaviour was rather pathethic when practically everyone who is not Turkish knows about the Armenian genocide of World War I. I could see Молох was Turkish from his contributions on WikiCommons. The pictures he nominated for deletion should be safe this year now. Goodbye, sir. --Artene50 (talk) 01:25, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Current Arbitration enforcement request involving you
At the current enforcement request against Parishan at Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement, I've found a long term, apparently sterile dispute (no productive discussion) at Lingua franca between Parishan, Fedayee, and yourself, over whether Azeri was ever a regional lingua franca. I have proposed banning all three of you from editing the article until you reach a compromise on the subject. You may wish to comment. Thatcher 01:59, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Would like an Armenian's input on the Semitic page
Hi. I was wondering if you would mind giving your opinion on the Semitic. Most Armenians and Most ethnic Iranians are an Indo-European Aryan people. The user Ian.thomson (talk) has a particular vendetta against me from the Magi page, and basically stalked me onto the Semitic page. I removed the information about Iranians, Armenians and Anatolians as being Semitic. The references used were based on one study done, which doesn't even take into consideration that many ethnic Aryan Iranians are now living in Europe and the U.S. due to the Revolution. Also, ethnic Iranians now barely make up 51% of the population, and the Kurdish Iranians are different than Kurds living in Arab countries. The study attempts to show that people of our countries have semitic ties due to similar mediterranean strains in the DNA. However, this is not widely accepted among scholars and anthropologists, and the mediterranean strain in Arab DNA is just that, from the mediterranean peoples. You could make the stretch that Spanish, French, and Greek are semitic as well by this guy's logic. Iranians are 88% or higher Indo-European, with some Mongol admixture here and there, but that can be said for Eastern Europe and some other European countries as well. Caucasians, Indo-Europeans come from the Caucus Steppes. Aryans are from the Ukraine region. Most of us, Iranians and Armenians are like Macedonians, Greeks, Anatolians - we are white, but Eurasian if you will, technically speaking. We are both cousins to Celts, Germans, Slavs, Greeks, etc. We are a mix of Nordic, mediterranean, Alpine, etc. We have less Nordic DNA than Northern European countries, but we're Indo-European. Also, many in the far west of Iran are not even ethnic Iranians but Arabs living in Iran or Arab-Iranians. Some of the far Southern Iranians are descendants of slaves and are not ethnic Iranians. Northern and Central Iranians are Aryan. Ian.thomson seems to think there is no big deal when discussing culture vs race, but you probably know that both our communities are very insular.

It would be nice to get an Armenian point of view since this concerns Armenians as well as Iranians. Semitic people are Arab or Jewish, not Iranian, Armenian, Greek, etc. Thanks for taking the time to read this. --CreativeSoul7981 (talk) 21:14, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
