The opening statement "Several Armenian women become sufferers of domestic abuse and violence". Does not read encyclopedic. You mean became? Over what period? Out of how many screened? I'm sure many more have died. Materialscientist ( talk) 00:21, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Armenian woman in national costume (crop).jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on January 22, 2015. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2015-01-22. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 15:37, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
This early color photograph was created through the three-color separation process. Three black-and-white exposures were taken, using red, blue, and yellow filters. These exposures were then projected with similar colored filters to create a full-color image.Photo: Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky; restoration: Keraunoscopia
The infobox image should not be a fantasy painting — it should be an image of a real woman. It took me a lot of time to find one that met the license requirements, please do not continue to restore the fantasy painting. Are there any other options? Seraphim System ( talk) 00:36, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
reinforces western sterotypes. It's an Armenian woman in a traditional outfit holding a traditional Armenian instrument. It has much more encyclopedic value than a random picture of some girl with her back turned to us and is covered in a shadow. At any rate, I just added a FP that I, myself, had successfully nominated a long time ago. Let me know what you think. Étienne Dolet ( talk) 01:13, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
random girl— girl? "it's more relevant to an article on the human back?" – You are removing an image of a woman because it shows her back? That is completely unacceptable. Seraphim System ( talk) 01:45, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
obviously inappropriate— it's a picture of an Armenian woman. I'm pretty much categorically opposed to using photos of celebrities as representative of women in a particular country. Kim Kardashian is Armenian but she is not a Woman in Armenia, she resides in the United States. The current image was also not taken in Armenia. Orientalist art is absolutely unacceptable for an article about women — it would be like changing the Women in Turkey photo to a french painting of harem slaves. If this is not obvious, I suggest that editors review the copious literature that has been written about Orientalist art. This discussion should really focus on finding an appropriate image if they don't like the available photo. Seraphim System ( talk) 04:07, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
Following WP:BB, I removed a paragraph of what appeared to be original research or uncited academic work. There was a single citation pointing to a link behind a university login so as to be un-viewable. If someone wishes to restore the section, please just do so with working, viewable citations readable by other readers and editors. I’m not making a judgement on the veracity of the material however we cannot include large passages of unsourced, uncited text, especially if it’s OR. Please revert my edit if you can add the citations and/or would like to rewrite that graph. Would love for this article to be as good as it can be. Thanks in advance, Jm3 ( talk) 13:45, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
