Statement by Tabib
I am appealing to arbitration as a last resort to deal with continuous personal attacks, insults and extremely disruptive behavior by a person currently hiding behind the User:Baku Ibne (contrib.) and User:Twinkletoes (contrib.) This is the same person as previously banned User:Osmanoglou (contrib.) also operating under various anon IPs 84.154.xx.xx, who was “distinguished” by continuous and deliberate acts of vandalism and personal insults, mostly directed against me. (For details on these banned users, or user (one person), to be more precise, please see, Vandalism in progress page). His actions and deeds are so blatant and outrageous, and his insults have gone so far, that arbitration is the only way to deal with this unprecedented case.

At the moment I was preparing this appeal, I noticed a new user emerged today (March 2) named User: Twinkletoes (contrib.) who posted another provocative and senseless comment in Nagorno-Karabakh talkpage. I am confident that this is a new username used by the same one person as part of a unprecedented farce and campaign against me, a farce never seen in Wikipedia so far. I came to this conclusion because of the style of his post and most importantly the “slogan” in his userpage “Dancing is my life”. I want to drag the attention of the arbitration committee that anon 84.154.xx.xx when vandalizing the page always added “dancer” to the page content. (pls, see, my report on anon 84.154.xx.xx in Vandalism in progress and see the similarities between this vandal and User:Twinkletoes, esp. with regard to “dancing”. In particular, see, 2nd vandalism notice by anon 84.154, in which he adds “dance” virtually everywhere and also uses word “Twinkletoes(!) at one place. Similar repeated mention of “dance” (this time w/o “Twinkletoes”) can be found also in third and fourth vandalisms by banned anon 84.154.xx.xx aka User:Osmanoglou).

Background

The roots of the present unprecedented conflict between me and the person operating currently under name “Baku Ibne” (who as I said, previously operated as anon 84.154.xx.xx and then User:Osmanoglou) started in mid February with a dispute over Safavids page content. At that time there was a fierce discussion and a revert war between myself and User:Pantherarosa. Subsequently, my arguments were proven more convincing and were supported by third party editors, first of them being User: John Kenney (see, his initial post in Safavids talkpage here). Immediately after this turning point in Safavids discussion, a whole new group of previously non-existing users appeared (including, User:LIGerasimova, User:StuffedTurkey, User:Osmanoglou). Seeing that their arguments were proven wrong and their real intentions were exposed, these users resorted to continuous vandalisms and/or personal attacks (mostly, User:Osmanoglou also acting under anon IP) and/or groundless accusations (mostly User:LIGerasimova and User:StuffedTurkey). In fact their actions continue up to day. If interested, please, view my post here, in which I expose this group of “avengers” one by one. However, this request concerns only one of them, User:Baku Ibne aka User:Twinkletoes aka User:Osmanoglou (banned) aka anon 84.154.xx.xx (banned). My complaint about another User:LIGerasimova is pending in Requests for comment. Just for info, I want to stress that in the future I may also appeal to arbitration committee with regard to User:StuffedTurkey and User:Rovoam (banned temporarily). (I want everyone, including these users, to know this in advance and be prepared).

Evidence of violations

Below I give incomplete list of Wikipedia violations by the person specifically acting under username Baku Ibne


 *  Personal Insults: calling me “ibne”, which means “homosexual” in Turkish (“YOU ARE 100 percent “IBNE”, Tabib”) (, repeated in my talkpage ). On another occasion he also wrote something like “…your [i.e. mine] apparent unsavory preoccupation with homosexuality”.

It’s important to note that previously same person acting under banned User:Osmanoglou and anon 84.154.xx.xx used the SAME word when attacking me (you can still see extremely rude curse in Turkish in User talk:Osmanoglou).

Moreover, this person libelously called me “vandal” at least five times, in my userpage and in his own userpage, without any grounds for that whatsoever.


 * Using sock puppets for circumventing Wikipedia policies (esp. block evasion), deception and impersonation (details on the person hiding behind User:Baku Ibne, as well as User:Osmanoglou aka anon 84.154.xx.xx can be found in [Vandalism in progress]. Also, when this appeal was written a new sock-puppet User:Twinkletoes emerged, to further complicate the issue, deceive public opinion and undermine my position in Wikipedia.


 * Adding false and fraudulent/misleading comments to Talk pages (e.g. having called me “ibne” which means “homosexual”, he now pretends that it is actually myself who called him “homosexual” (?!), see,, same as (accusing me in allegedly “implicating [him] with HOMOSEXUAL connotation to [me]” (?!) whereas it is exactly the opposite, it was him who called me “ibne” –homosexual. These manipulations were aimed at confusing other editors and hiding from responsibility.)


 * Advancing groundless and deceitful vandalism reports directed against me. See Vandalism in progress page. This report was deleted twice, as other editors (namely User:SWAdair and User:Tony Sidaway warned this “user” not to push with this unfounded accusation. User:SWAdair even left a warning message in his talkpage


 * Attempting to delete and hide the criticism coming from other users. This person tried to delete the warning message by User:SWAdair who as I mentioned above, warned him not to file false vandalism complaints. I restored this message, which this "user" tried to delete and hide. As a reaction, this “user” started to accuse me in “vandalism”, spammed my talkpage with his groundless accusations and filed a false complaint against me in Vandalism in progress page.

This list may enlarge even further considering this person’s obsession to harass me by any means possible. I ask the arbitration committee to deal with this unprecedented case with the utmost seriousness.--Tabib 19:51, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)

Statement by Dubistdas Letztearschloch
All user Tabib seems to be interested in, is spreading personal insults and slandering fellow editors. The pattern of his actions is repetitive:


 * 1. He starts editing articles with the sole purpose of obtruding his very personal "Turkish" perspective on every subject.
 * 2. As soon as he meets intellectual resistance, he starts to polemize and seek "mediation" "arbitration" and other means of pressure on the other editor.
 * 3. He starts whole epics on the objectors' supposed evil, for which he avails himself to a lot(!) of space. This, in addition, on the respective articles' Talk pages, turning them into a mess. Instead of keeping this to himself and the respective fellow editor, he seems to try and drag everybody chancing on those pages into the dirty (filthy?) laundry he is publicly washing.
 * 4. His abnormal conduct evokes revulsion with the innocent readers consulting Wikipedia. For weeks at end the articles he has started to meddle with carry a "DISPUTE" template, not exactly helpful, e.g. for students trying to derive data for their reports (as happened before on "SAFAVIDS" Talk page).
 * 5. The lack of public respect for his despicable conduct will leave a mark on Wikipedia in general: It draws the carpet from underneath serious editors and their work (suffering as a whole from his smear campaigns) as well as the readers, seeking reliable information and doubting Wikipedia's dependability, due to the prevailing confusion.

It is high time for any responsible ARBCOM to rid us all from a psychopath running amok on this wonderful site!!!!! He should be a man and call it quits, instead of forcing us to watch this undignified romping and stomping of his, indefinitely.--Dubistdas Letztearschloch 11:49, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Statement by Rovoam (Andrew Kirsanoff)
I said it before, and I say it now:


 * I am not going to deal with this uneducated and uncivilized user any longer. I don't care about him and about his Turkic problems. Wikipedia is no longer my favorite site (thanks to him!).- If I need information, I would rather visit some other trusted Internet sites, like Encyclopædia Britannica 11th Edition (1910-1911), Jewish Encyclopedia (1901-1906) or Catholic Encyclopedia, but not Wikipedia, which contains obscure and undeserving trust articles, written or edited by persons like User:Tabib.


 * As far as mediation/arbitration/etc. process(es), let him write in his articles whatever he wants to write. From his Turkic point of view, Turks invented first alphabet, they founded Troy, they wrote Bible, Jesus Christ, Karl Marks, William Shakespeare and Friedrich Nietzsche were all Turks, and even Wikipedia was developed by Turks. If you are not disturbed with quality of articles, written for Wikipedia, neither shall I. I am not going to argue with all his nonsense. Just because I respect myself and I value my time.


 * As far as I know, he has already requested dozens of mediation/arbitration requests with other users. If he continues, you will have to spend all your life, resolving his numerous complaints.


 * I am sorry, but you have to deal with this user without my help . I had enough of User:Tabib already! And I believe he is seriously sick and needs to visit his psychiatrist, but I am not a doctor. Sorry!


 * With best regards,
 * Rovoam 22:11, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * For a person who "respect[s] [himself] and value[s] [his] time" you've gone too far., --Tabib 07:48, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

User:Tabib vs Strabo, Plinius Secundos, Clavdius Ptolemeus
Let me understand one thing here.

While we edit and/or discuss articles in Wikipedia, are we allowed to go down deep into the ancient history (as I was trying to do for the article about Karabakh) and provide more information even if this information contradicts with some other POV? Is it prohibited to make a reference to the historical sources?

User User:Tabib periodically deletes the whole history section, accusing me in vandalism. Here is this section:


 * For the first time Artsakh appeared under the name "Urtehke" or "Urtehini" as it is mentioned in Urartianian cuneiform writings.


 * In the I century BC Artsakh is mentioned under the name of "Orhistene". Strabo (born 63 BC or 64 BC, died ca. 24 AD) mentions Orhistene among the Armenian provinces (as well as Phavneni and Kombiseni).


 * Clavdius Ptolemeus (&#922;&#955;&#945;&#973;&#948;&#953;&#959;&#962; &#928;&#964;&#959;&#955;&#949;&#956;&#945;&#943;&#959;&#962;; c. 85 &#8211; c. 165) in his "Geography" informs, that "Great Armenia is located from the north to a part of Colchida, Iberia and Albania alone the line, which goes through the river Kir (Kura)" (see: Ptolemaios Klaudios, "Geography", V, XII).


 * Plinius Secundos (23&#8211;79 AD, better known as Pliny the Elder) writes, that "the tribe of Albanians settled on the Caucasian mountains, reaches &#8230; the river Kir making border of Armenia and Iberia" (see Plinius the Second, "The Natural history ", VI, 39).


 * Movses Khorensky (V century AD) names Artsakh "Small Sunik" (Armenian "Pokr Sunik"). According to Moses, here, in Artsakh, young Grigorius (grandson of Gregory the Illuminator) was buried after he was killed on the field of Vatnyan (see Moves Khorensky, "History of Armenia", III, chapter 3).


 * Other Armenian historian of V century - Egishe (Elishe) writes, that after defeat in battle (451 AD) many of the Armenians rising against Persians, ran "in the impassable countries Tmorika and in dense woods of Arstakh" (see Egishe, "The Word about Armenian War", sec 6-th).


 * Busand (V century BC) tells, that Musheh Mamikonian has restored border between Armenia and Albania on the river Kura (Kir).


 * In "The Armenian Geography" (VII cent. AD) Artzakh is mentioned as 9-th of 15 provinces of Great Armenia.


 * Since X century AD in historical works and sources Artzakh is mentioned under the name Khachen (the named of fortresses, the residence of the Armenian prince Sahla Smbatjan). The Byzantian emperor Konstantin Bagrjanorodny addressed his letters "to prince of Hachen - to Armenia".


 * The name Karabakh for the first time is mentioned on XIV century. At this time Artzakh has been broken up to tens Armenian princedoms, with the center in Gandzasar, under the Catholicos ruling. In 1672 Catholicos Pyotr in the letter to Russian tsar Alexey (Mihajlovich) names himself "the Catholicos of all Armenians".

I would like to understand, what's wrong with the above references to the historical sources of Strabo, Plinius Secundos, Clavdius Ptolemeus, Movses Khorensky, etc. etc. Am I not allowed to refer to any name or source of information since it is not approved by user User:Tabib?

All the above ancient writes stated that the area known today as Karabakh was a part of Ancient Armenia. Everyone can easily verify this by reading the above mentioned books and sources.

I really want to understand why we should follow Tabib's opinion on this subject and ignore Strabo, Plinius Secundos, Clavdius Ptolemeus?!

The historical information presented by ancient writers is obviously neutral, but it contradicts with Tabib's pro-Turkic point of view. Is this a good reason for us to destroy the above sources and read User:Tabib's "historical research" instead?!

Rovoam 18:40, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * P.S. It is really difficult for me to even talk to User:Tabib. Not because he is too smart, but because he is trying to abuse me calling me Armenian, a lyer, accusing me in playing dirty tricks, and so on. I tried to talk with about the History, but he replies with personal attacks providing no answers to my neutral questions:


 * See Talk:Caucasian Albania as an example of this kind of "talk":


 * Rovoam. Artsakh and Albania. What Albanians have in Artsakh? - There are no traces of their presence!
 * Tabib. Rovoam&#8217;s provocative vandalism and POV pushing


 * Am I provoking a vandalism by simply asking questions, for which user User:Tabib has no answers? Is it good enough reason to call me Armenian (while I am not)? And, after all, being an Armenian is the same as being a criminal? If it's so, why?


 * I am trying to understand why Turkic people hate Armenians, killing them in the past and even today, denying Genocide, which they comitted in 1915, etc. etc.


 * Rovoam 19:43, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Dear ArbCom members and all neutral editors,

User:Rovoam once again tries to confuse you by manipulating with facts and names of well-known historians of antiquity. Unlike User:Rovoam, who called me "Turkish vandal", "sick" who "needs to see his phychiatrist", "uncivilized and uneducated person" etc.; who acted behind anon IPs to circumvent Wikipedia policies; who from the beginning pushed for his biased POV without discussion them in talkpage first, thus provoking me to revert his changes; who placed deceitful edit summaries in order to confuse public opinion; who repeatedly brought over and over again his old claims despite the fact that they were addressed (e.g. Artsakh and Albania); who repeatedly tried to derail the discussion from the page content to various irrelevant issues (e.g. throwing out provocative comments about links b/w Albanians and modern Azeris); I never lowered myself to personal attacks and insults based on someone's ethnicity, I never acted behind anon IPs, I never provoked edit war, but always acted in response, and I never put deceptive edit summaries trying to confuse public.

Rovoam, knows perfectly well he is wrong, because he knows history very well. But his biased pro-Armenian propaganda (this is not an "attack" but a statement of fact, another moderate Armenian editor User:Aramgutang also would agree with me) combined with his personal aversion of me personally are the two forces that drive him in his actions. As a single example, above Rovoam repeats one of his "question-arguments" "What Albanians have in Artsakh? - There are no traces of their presence!", but he himself actually had no choise but to confess that Artsakh was in fact part of Caucasus Albania. Now he choses to deny this commonly known fact once again. This is his strategy of confusing people, aggravating this mess further and eventually discrediting me along with himself (because he knows that he is already discredited). The question is, will you be deceived by his actions, and will you punish me along side with him for the sake of "neutrality" and "even-handedness", or will you really go deep into the issue and discern and then punish the extremely disruptive and malicious editing and discussion behaviour by User:Rovoam... --Tabib 20:50, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)


 * So, Tabib, if I understand you correctly, references to Strabo, Plinius Secundos, Clavdius Ptolemeus is what you call "biased pro-Armenian propaganda" ? This makes me angry once again, and I may loose my temper. Because it is really difficult to handle such an uncivilized and uneducated person like you.Rovoam 22:11, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

'''Why are so many people busy sorting selfgenerated mess of USER TABIB???? This "person" should not edit at all here, given his lack of knowledge and uncouth behaviour. Lest steal everybody's time. Admin editors are overburdened already with other trivia! No sense in adding to their load, by coming here with all that ethnically seasoned GARBAGE'''!!!!!! I am not a vandal/sockpuppet! I am only fed up!!!!!--Sillymufty 03:24, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Statement by LIGerasimova (previously presented as evidence!)
Upon user Tabib's request for mediation, I looked into the SAFAVIDS article and Talk and found him clearly pushing a "Turkish" agenda. Very agressively and very much POV. I detected him teaming up with two other "Turkish" sympathizers, whom he enticed to blow into his horn mutually (User Deli-Eshek talk page) I confronted him with the facts, to which he responded vitriously (see user Tabib Talk page/my Talk page). From the Nagorno Karabakh Talk, I could discern a very clear POV pattern in his argumentation, which I consider inapropriate, and the fashion in which the POV is presented rude and inconsiderately racist. There the mediator, user Davenbelle, was kind enough to leave some entries of mine, to this end unreverted in which I had explained my concerns about racist agenda pushing and generally unaceptable conduct toward fellow editors. User Tabib shows to have very deeply rooted aversions toward Persians and Armenians, as well as ANYBODY not exactly in line with his POV. In general I feel very much taken aback by the claimant's manic obsession with fending off and discrediting any objector and taking him straight to ARBComs, et al. As if thus HISTORY and REALITY were set straight on their ordained "Turkish" Track.
