Recent edits by an IP user( /info/en/?search=Special:Contributions/2602:306:31B4:1C10:FDD8:D71B:A0BB:984E) to this and several other pages consistently make Chaldean Christians their own ethnic group rather than being Assyrian. I don't know enough about the subject matter to know if this is correct. However, similar past edits were reverted, and the current edits also make claims beyond what is in the cited sources.

User:AntonSamuel you seem obsessed with Chaldeans who are our own ethnic group. You keep filling up our Wikipedia pages with false information and propaganda labeling us as Assyrians. Seems like until we file hate charges against you, you will refuse to stop. You are mentally sick, Anton, and need help. Chaldeans are not ethnic Assyrians, this is propaganda being pushed by Assyrian nationalists such as User:AntonSamuel and User:LacrimosaDiesilla. Chaldeans are the majority of Iraqi Christians. Assyrians are a very small minority in Iraq and overall, the Assyrian population is no more than 350,000. While Chaldeans are 1.5 million. Users such as User:AntonSamuel are the ones causing problems by falsely filling and changing all Chaldean pages to refer to us as Assyrians, which is false propaganda. The "ethnic Assyrian" identity was created by the British Anglican Church in the late 19th century in Urmia, Iran and Hakkari, Turkey and does not correlate to the true history of Neo-Aramaic speakers.
Hi Anton. I have some concerns regarding such removals [1]. Of course, the term "Assyrian" is an umbrella term for all Eastern Neo-Aramaic speakers, there is nothing wrong with that. However, censoring "Syriac" and using simply "Assyrian" is not constructive. I am partly Syro-Aramean living in Turkey (now using VPN, because Erdogan blocked Wikipedia). Syro-Arameans have different culture, clothes, etc. For example, Iraqi Assyrians celebrate Akitu, we do not. Things like that. Language and ethnogenesis are also not the same at all. Assyrian Neo-Aramaic has Akkadian substratum, Turoyo and other Syro-Aramean dialects do not. They are purely Aramean. I am against removing "Assyrian" and using only "Syriac". HOWEVER, I am also against censoring "Syriac"!! It is aggressive and not constructive. Syriac is commonly used for describing Syro-Arameans living in Tur Abdin. Even in Turkey, where the Tur Abdin is located, we are known as "Süryani" which means "Syriac". It is common name for those from Tur Abdin. "Assyrian" is also shared identity as well. So, to compromise, can we use both, instead of pushing only one term? "Syriac/Assyrian" is a good term and reflects both Assyrian and Syro-Aramean identities. (The term "Assyrian" includes many sub-groups, e.g. Chaldeans. The readers must know that those from Tur Abdin and North Syria are not Chaldeans, etc.) 107.190.38.35 ( talk) 16:59, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Really sigh [2]. Can you find sources that mention "Syriac/Assyrians" "Aramean", "Syro-Aramean", etc. Because it is his only excuse to remove the content. Also there is no consensus on the talk page. Also I think the article should be moved to "Democratic Federation of Northern Syria". Because according to their constitution, they OFFICALLY define themselves as such. Also, the area has been expanded and many of the places are not considered within the pre-Syrian War definition of Rojava. For example Manbij, Raqqa,... They are not considered as Rojava. So it is misleading to mention them under the Rojava. Even PYD/YPG/SDF does not define the area as Rojava anymore. So can you please move the page? 107.190.38.35 ( talk) 12:50, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
Thank you friend. Because some of the sources the user cited are also confusing. For example Encylopedia of the World's minorities by Carl Skutsch states “The modern group known as the Assyrians traditionally incorporated those affiliated with the Assyrian Chruch of the East (or simply church of the East). At the dawn of Christianity, these people lived in Mesopotamia (an area modern-day Iraq)...Among a portion of Assyians there has also developed a nationalistic type sentiment, one that includes other Syriac-speaking peoples (Jacobites/Syrian Orthodox, Syrian Catholics, Chaldeans and Maronites) under the definition of Assyrian”. It is confusing and using "Syriac/Assyrian" is better for NPOV. 70.26.205.84 ( talk) 19:39, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I understand that you let you lead by the 2017 summer announcements for the DFNS subdivision system. They indeed 'delayed' mentioning the newly liberated area's to ease possible Turkisch outrage. But in all new more recent and ohter sources Manbij area ruling members of the DFNS call Manbij part of Shabha Canton/region and the de facto representation is also present in this way. Newer sources overrule olders ones saying 'not yet'. I'll hope you'll understand.

Thank you for your contributions. But please only add Assyrian villages or towns that have substantial Assyrian inhabitants in the list of Assyrian settlements page. Do not add ancient Assyrian tribes that have little or Assyrians in present day. You added a number of Western Assyrian settlements in Turkey that had no links. If they are ancient tribes associated with Suroyos, please feel free to relocate them in the List of Assyrian tribes page where they would belong. No, it's not controversial. It's just that there should be a clear distinction between the two articles as they convey a different subject matter, but people have conflated them by adding tribes and cities in both articles, confusing a lot of readers. But I don't blame them, because the titles are similar. I'd suggest a change in their titles for this to be resolved. ~ Meganesia ( talk) 13:45, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Assyrian vs. Syrian naming controversy First of all the medievals and other people when calling the assyrians syriacs, didnt mean aramean. Sure, the assyrians were both called by and outside the ethnic group aramean and assyrian, maybe you should state that the syriac word mean assyrian? We now know the word syrian means assyrian, cineköy stone, were ashur meant sur, in the cineköy stone, with two different languages with the same meaning. By the way, the source he gives you said the exact same thing, that assur meant sur, assyrians meant syrians. Check the source he gave you from aina. Please change aramean to assyrian.
It isnt linguistically, historically true that we are "arameans", we are assyrians, we come from northern mesopotamia (assyria) and we speak east aramaic, the official language of the assyrian empire! While the melkites, the real arameans, speak western aramaic, the closets language to what jesus spoke and the closets language to the aramean language. West aramaic was developed in syria, the heartland of aram, while the east aramaic was developed in mesopotamia. We must also not forget that the chaldeans and persians spoke aramaic, does it make them arameans then? Also we are not genetically related to syrians (arameans), we are more related to marsh arabs in southern iraq, which is considered to be descendants of the sumerians, all is written in genetics of assyrians in wikipedia. Please change aramean to assyrian.

Hello, I see that you have worked actively on the Yazidis page and that you have greatly improved it. I think a vandal is intentionally inserting incorrect or problematic information into the article. You may be able to remove the information "Armenian Apostolic Church, Evangelicalism and Islam" from the Infobox and paste it into the "Religion" section instead. A small sentence such as "A minority of Yazidis converted to Armenian Apostolic Church, Evangelicalism and Islam." is quite sufficient in the section "Religion".

I think there has been a misunderstanding regarding my edit of the article Pahonia. I meant no offence in using the word “defaced”. In vexillology, the study of flags, the word “defaced” is the correct term to use when a coat of arms or similar device is placed onto an existing flag. Therefore I did not breach any NPOV policies as I did not use the word “defaced” in a derogatory manner, I was just using the correct technical term.

Hi Anton, please don't let Azeri people distort the reality by editing the articles about Artsakh villages, most of them are not under Azerbaijani control, don't let that Aliyev or Azerbaijani sources mislead you. For example.. Hadrut is not under Azerbaijan control by today. Villages like Mataghis aren't either, the Armenian sources are totally ignored and whole Wikipedia articles rely only in Azeri sources which is laughable, due to the high risk of propaganda and falsification (this is not me who say it, also you can check press freedom index of Azerbaijan) Please mind the Armenian sources aswell which is usually more partial than Azeri.

Hi there, I have recently noticed that a user has added the Azerbaijani translations of Armenian cities (within the territory of Armenia) to several articles including Goris, Sisian, Pambak, Gegharkunik, Shatvan, and Kapan (possibly others as well). To me, this makes no sense since these cities are within Armenia proper, the Azerbaijani names are not official names of the cities, they are not used by the current populations of these cities, nor are they used by government officials. I was hoping you can provide some advice/feedback on what would be an appropriate course of action (if any?). @ Laurel Lodged: This may be of interest to you as well. Any advice is appreciated! Regards, Archives908 ( talk) 20:37, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
@ Archives908: @ Laurel Lodged: I've explained a bit of what I interpret Wikipedia guidelines to recommend regarding including alternative names, in the debate regarding including the Armenian place name Shushi in the lede of the Shusha article: [14]
To summarize: Wikipedia guidelines recommend per MOS:LEADALT that "...Significant alternative names for the topic should be mentioned in the article, usually in the first sentence or paragraph. These may include alternative spellings, longer or shorter forms, historical names, and significant names in other languages. Per WP:OTHERNAMES/ WP:NCPLACE that "The lead: The title can be followed in the first line by a list of alternative names in parentheses, Relevant foreign language names (one used by at least 10% of sources in the English language or that is used by a group of people which used to inhabit this geographical place) are permitted."
I interpret these as inclusive guidelines - that historical and significant alternative place names may be placed in the lede of an article, or in its etymology section if the amount of names become too numerous for readability, if either 10% of English language sources use the name or if it's used by a people that used to live in the locality - the existence of a large diaspora community from the specific place for example. Historical context should also be taken into consideration - what significance/connection a city has for a people historically, culturally/religiously, while recognizing the various national narratives that exist and staying inclusive. The matter of including material that is controversial should be raised and discussed individually on the talk pages of the articles. Sometimes a Request for Comment (RfC) may be advisable.

Hey, I appreciate your recent contributions, adding the Armenian-majority. Though, can the wording be changed since the current one is a bit unclear for the users to understand? Perhaps it can be changed from The village has an ethnic Armenian population, and had an Armenian majority in 1989
to simply The village has an Armenian-majority
since none of the villages that were Armenian-majority in 1989, that are now controlled by Armenians has changed its majority, they're all still Armenian-majority. Or you can change it to something else, that's clearer and easier flowing than what it is now. Cheers. —

Hello Anton. The Azerbaijani flag was raised in Lachin. Why is there the name of Artsakh on Lachin page? Yesterday, the Azerbaijani army blocked 3 Armenian army buses in the Lachin corridor. In my opinion, we should remove the name Artsakh from the Lachin page. EljanM (TALK) 16:39, 24 December 2020

Thank you Anton, in the meantime, I'll find a way to gather better sources, Afghanistan has indeed changed over the last 30 years so there's a chance those numbers are no longer relevant, just keep them there for now till I can hopefully find accurate numbers.
Hi Anton me again, I just took a moment to try and start investigating the Uzbekistani Population of Zoroastrians that were deemed unverified.

To which Artsakh province did this community originally belong? Did it change province after 2020? I'm seeing confusing records. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 12:40, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
@ AntonSamuel: Hello again. So I found some information regarding this that you may be interested in. According to Russian Wikipedia page for Umudlu: "despite its actual location in the Martakert region of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, it was included in the Shahumyan region and from 1995 to 1998 it was its administrative centre, which was later moved to the city of Kelbajar." So, it seems Umudlu is indeed somewhat of an exclave and has even been the capital of Shahumyan Province until 1998. — CuriousGolden (T· C) 14:37, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure about this topic, so I ask you, since you have been on wiki for much longer than I. Villages and other territories controlled by Armenian/Russian forces seem to have an Azerbaijani name for some reason. For example the village Kherkhan /info/en/?search=X%C9%99rxan,_Khojavend should be titled Kherkhan, Martuni instead of Xərxan, Khojavend since Armenian/Russian forces control it. Here's proof: A short documentary set in the village. There are other examples /info/en/?search=Quzumk%C9%99nd /info/en/?search=C%C9%99miyy%C9%99t /info/en/?search=Muxtar. Shushi has been renamed Shusha since Azerbaijani forces now control it, but Stepanakert and Martuni haven't been since Azerbaijani forces don't control it. Do you know why in this case these villages have Azerbaijani names? KhndzorUtogh ( talk) 22:12, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Hello AntonSamuel. I find it very strange that you, being the author of so many proposals to rename articles concerning Karabakh villages and clearly aware of the practice given your message above, would go on and rename them without consulting anyone to potentially POV names (like you recently did to Kirov, Shusha,) and that you would actually endorse a new user, KhndzorUtogh, as he is renaming such articles en masse on his own will and believes that this was the way to go. Am I the only one who sees a consensus violation issue here? Parishan ( talk) 18:43, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
I believe, given the sensitivity of the issue and the fact that it belongs to AA2, it would be a better idea to present those same comments on the talkpage prior to renaming rather than in the edit summary (in any event, those who engaged in canvassing have been blocked a while ago). I for one do not instantly see how a "name used by the de facto administration" should absolutely be given priority, especially if the name is neither historical, nor Soviet-time, like "Hin Shen". You also do not seem to mind that a user who has only been on Wikipedia for 10 days and believes "Shushi has been renamed Shusha since Azerbaijani forces control it" is having a field day renaming other such articles under dubious pretexts. Parishan ( talk) 19:08, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
I am very sorry but "I have already explained" does not constitute an argument. Wikipedia articles are a community effort. If I had found your explanation convincing and your move uncontroversial, I would probably not have left a message here. I disagree that "English Wikipedia hasn't employed a general use of Russian names for neutrality purposes" as the article in question has featured the Soviet name "Kirov" since the day it was created, and this may perhaps be just the way to avoid sliding into POV. Again, excuse me for being blunt but you cannot come in and change titles in articles that are covered by two ArbComs that lasted for months and months just because you believe "you have explained it", especially when you admit that you have "much to learn about the historical context of the region". Nor can you claim that you "let admins deal with problemantic issues" and then do this, when an admin clearly stated that there was no consensus to rename the article. I suggest you revert the articles back to their consensus versions, and we can start working towards establishing a common practice to reflect the toponymy of the region.

Hello there! I want to thank you sincerely for making me aware of the biased nature of the term "unrecognized". I personally have always felt that terms like "breakaway" or "separatist" were more objective than "self-proclaimed" (which has always evoked imaginations of Napoleon Bonaparte illegitimately coronating himself as emperor), which is why I naturally went for "unrecognized" as a compromise. As I mentioned on my user page, I am dedicated to ending edit wars by other users over mundane things like the aforementioned terms, and I will naturally change all my edits containing the word "unrecognized". Thank you once again for making me cognizant of this. BaxçeyêReş ( talk) 12:34, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi Anton, hope you're doing well. I had suspicions of Sockpuppetry from the user Creffel done by banned Sockmaster CuriousGolden. My initial thoughts regarding this came when CuriousGolden was banned, and I saw sudden activity in all the pages Curious edited, done by Creffel. If you look at Creffel's talk page, him and the Socmaster already knew each other even before the ban, and most likely off wiki too according to their talks [ [33]]. The reasons I'm alarmed is that after CuriousGolden's ban on April 3rd, Creffel had suddenly started to edit again the day after, and all of his edit comments and arguments very similar to CuriousGolden [ [34]] (see his edits before April and starting from April, it's like two different people). And all those edits done to CuriousGolden's edited pages, restoring his edits with very similar more advanced comments including rules/etc. (which he mostly didn't do in his previous comments of edits), and very alike to how Curious would talk/reason. My suspicions are that he is lending his account to banned editor CuriousGolden, or at the very least contacting/advising with him off wiki, as the similarities of his edits/comments, timings and pages edited are just too matching to be otherwise. Can you kindly take a look and let me know what you think? The reason I'm asking you is that you are a lot more experienced than myself, and would have better understanding of this situation. Waiting for your reply, thanks in advance! ZaniGiovanni ( talk) 08:29, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
@ ZaniGiovanni: @ Creffel: Unfortunately I don't have the time right now to look into this matter in-depth myself, in the mean time - please stop edit warring, that won't help anybody with anything. I thought I'd ping @ Jerm: that opened the sockpuppet investigation against CuriousGolden and @ Cabayi: that closed it, and ask you what your thoughts are regarding the matter? If it's not ok to raise the matter here I understand, and I see that it would have been better if a proper sockpuppet investigation was opened. From a cursory view, Creffel and CuriousGolden do seem to have a similar style and editing patterns [35] and Creffel does not seem like an inexperienced/new editor - this may be because of a mentorship of sorts as was mentioned earlier, or it may not.

Hi there Anton, hope you're doing well. Wanted to ask a question, maybe Laurel Lodged can answer as well as I've seen them edit in AA area. Where does the "de jure / de facto" come from in articles like Farukh, Khramort, etc? Basically the towns that have always been part of NKAO and were not connected to the 7 regions that UN declared for Armenian troops to leave. I also don't see any reliable third-party sources for the "de jure" part in all of these articles, am I missing something? ZaniGiovanni ( talk) 13:19, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
Just wanted you to know that there are no "hard feelings" in regard to your bold page move, Farux → Farukh. Wasn't really invested in any of the titles discussed in the RM, and I moved the article to "Farux" strictly in line with the article titling policy. While I don't totally agree with the MRV closer's comments, particularly his use of NOGOODOPTIONS, which did not apply at all, the outcome does make good sense. So this situation has become what I think is a valid use of the WP:IAR policy. Have to commend you for "sticking to your values" and for your obvious expertise in these areas.

Hey, I've seen that you've notified several editors of GS/AA by means of using general Twinkle warnings with a message about GS/AA added at the end. Because of the rather long and rote text prior to the added information about GS/AA, which in some cases may not even obviously apply to the edit (e.g. "unconstructive"), I imagine that most editors aren't getting to the part where you explain what GS/AA is. I would recommend using the standard {{subst:alert/first|aa}} CTOPS notification and add a GS/AA explanation to the bottom of that, as the CTOPS alert notification more immediately clarifies the stakes of editing in the area and establishes that failure to follow all rules carefully will result in sanctions. signed, Rosguill talk 19:33, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

User:AntonSamuel you seem obsessed with Chaldeans who are our own ethnic group. You keep filling up our Wikipedia pages with false information and propaganda labeling us as Assyrians. Seems like until we file hate charges against you, you will refuse to stop. You are mentally sick, Anton, and need help. Chaldeans are not ethnic Assyrians, this is propaganda being pushed by Assyrian nationalists such as User:AntonSamuel and User:LacrimosaDiesilla. Chaldeans are the majority of Iraqi Christians. Assyrians are a very small minority in Iraq and overall, the Assyrian population is no more than 350,000. While Chaldeans are 1.5 million. Users such as User:AntonSamuel are the ones causing problems by falsely filling and changing all Chaldean pages to refer to us as Assyrians, which is false propaganda. The "ethnic Assyrian" identity was created by the British Anglican Church in the late 19th century in Urmia, Iran and Hakkari, Turkey and does not correlate to the true history of Neo-Aramaic speakers.
Hi Anton. I have some concerns regarding such removals [1]. Of course, the term "Assyrian" is an umbrella term for all Eastern Neo-Aramaic speakers, there is nothing wrong with that. However, censoring "Syriac" and using simply "Assyrian" is not constructive. I am partly Syro-Aramean living in Turkey (now using VPN, because Erdogan blocked Wikipedia). Syro-Arameans have different culture, clothes, etc. For example, Iraqi Assyrians celebrate Akitu, we do not. Things like that. Language and ethnogenesis are also not the same at all. Assyrian Neo-Aramaic has Akkadian substratum, Turoyo and other Syro-Aramean dialects do not. They are purely Aramean. I am against removing "Assyrian" and using only "Syriac". HOWEVER, I am also against censoring "Syriac"!! It is aggressive and not constructive. Syriac is commonly used for describing Syro-Arameans living in Tur Abdin. Even in Turkey, where the Tur Abdin is located, we are known as "Süryani" which means "Syriac". It is common name for those from Tur Abdin. "Assyrian" is also shared identity as well. So, to compromise, can we use both, instead of pushing only one term? "Syriac/Assyrian" is a good term and reflects both Assyrian and Syro-Aramean identities. (The term "Assyrian" includes many sub-groups, e.g. Chaldeans. The readers must know that those from Tur Abdin and North Syria are not Chaldeans, etc.) 107.190.38.35 ( talk) 16:59, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

I am living in Antioch ( Hatay). Father is Arab Christian from Antioch, mother is Aramean from Mardin. Many Syriacs/Arameans moved to Istanbul as well as Europe. Some moved to Syria, Lebanon, etc. Fayrouz's family was from Mardin. 107.190.38.35 ( talk) 17:57, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
Really sigh [2]. Can you find sources that mention "Syriac/Assyrians" "Aramean", "Syro-Aramean", etc. Because it is his only excuse to remove the content. Also there is no consensus on the talk page. Also I think the article should be moved to "Democratic Federation of Northern Syria". Because according to their constitution, they OFFICALLY define themselves as such. Also, the area has been expanded and many of the places are not considered within the pre-Syrian War definition of Rojava. For example Manbij, Raqqa,... They are not considered as Rojava. So it is misleading to mention them under the Rojava. Even PYD/YPG/SDF does not define the area as Rojava anymore. So can you please move the page? 107.190.38.35 ( talk) 12:50, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
Thank you friend. Because some of the sources the user cited are also confusing. For example Encylopedia of the World's minorities by Carl Skutsch states “The modern group known as the Assyrians traditionally incorporated those affiliated with the Assyrian Chruch of the East (or simply church of the East). At the dawn of Christianity, these people lived in Mesopotamia (an area modern-day Iraq)...Among a portion of Assyians there has also developed a nationalistic type sentiment, one that includes other Syriac-speaking peoples (Jacobites/Syrian Orthodox, Syrian Catholics, Chaldeans and Maronites) under the definition of Assyrian”. It is confusing and using "Syriac/Assyrian" is better for NPOV. 70.26.205.84 ( talk) 19:39, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I understand that you let you lead by the 2017 summer announcements for the DFNS subdivision system. They indeed 'delayed' mentioning the newly liberated area's to ease possible Turkisch outrage. But in all new more recent and ohter sources Manbij area ruling members of the DFNS call Manbij part of Shabha Canton/region and the de facto representation is also present in this way. Newer sources overrule olders ones saying 'not yet'. I'll hope you'll understand. We need to report the most recent and de facto reality, not an outdated communication prudence of the DFNS.-- Niele~enwiki ( talk) 23:00, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions. But please only add Assyrian villages or towns that have substantial Assyrian inhabitants in the list of Assyrian settlements page. Do not add ancient Assyrian tribes that have little or Assyrians in present day. You added a number of Western Assyrian settlements in Turkey that had no links. If they are ancient tribes associated with Suroyos, please feel free to relocate them in the List of Assyrian tribes page where they would belong. No, it's not controversial. It's just that there should be a clear distinction between the two articles as they convey a different subject matter, but people have conflated them by adding tribes and cities in both articles, confusing a lot of readers. But I don't blame them, because the titles are similar. I'd suggest a change in their titles for this to be resolved. ~ Meganesia ( talk) 13:45, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Assyrian vs. Syrian naming controversy First of all the medievals and other people when calling the assyrians syriacs, didnt mean aramean. Sure, the assyrians were both called by and outside the ethnic group aramean and assyrian, maybe you should state that the syriac word mean assyrian? We now know the word syrian means assyrian, cineköy stone, were ashur meant sur, in the cineköy stone, with two different languages with the same meaning. By the way, the source he gives you said the exact same thing, that assur meant sur, assyrians meant syrians. Check the source he gave you from aina. Please change aramean to assyrian.
It isnt linguistically, historically true that we are "arameans", we are assyrians, we come from northern mesopotamia (assyria) and we speak east aramaic, the official language of the assyrian empire! While the melkites, the real arameans, speak western aramaic, the closets language to what jesus spoke and the closets language to the aramean language. West aramaic was developed in syria, the heartland of aram, while the east aramaic was developed in mesopotamia. We must also not forget that the chaldeans and persians spoke aramaic, does it make them arameans then? Also we are not genetically related to syrians (arameans), we are more related to marsh arabs in southern iraq, which is considered to be descendants of the sumerians, all is written in genetics of assyrians in wikipedia. Please change aramean to assyrian.

Hello, I see that you have worked actively on the Yazidis page and that you have greatly improved it. I think a vandal is intentionally inserting incorrect or problematic information into the article. You may be able to remove the information "Armenian Apostolic Church, Evangelicalism and Islam" from the Infobox and paste it into the "Religion" section instead. A small sentence such as "A minority of Yazidis converted to Armenian Apostolic Church, Evangelicalism and Islam." is quite sufficient in the section "Religion". I would be very grateful if you could do this. Friendly greetings 89.135.141.23 ( talk) 14:11, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

I think there has been a misunderstanding regarding my edit of the article Pahonia. I meant no offence in using the word “defaced”. In vexillology, the study of flags, the word “defaced” is the correct term to use when a coat of arms or similar device is placed onto an existing flag. Therefore I did not breach any NPOV policies as I did not use the word “defaced” in a derogatory manner, I was just using the correct technical term.

Hi Anton, please don't let Azeri people distort the reality by editing the articles about Artsakh villages, most of them are not under Azerbaijani control, don't let that Aliyev or Azerbaijani sources mislead you. For example.. Hadrut is not under Azerbaijan control by today. Villages like Mataghis aren't either, the Armenian sources are totally ignored and whole Wikipedia articles rely only in Azeri sources which is laughable, due to the high risk of propaganda and falsification (this is not me who say it, also you can check press freedom index of Azerbaijan) Please mind the Armenian sources aswell which is usually more partial than Azeri.

Hi there, I have recently noticed that a user has added the Azerbaijani translations of Armenian cities (within the territory of Armenia) to several articles including Goris, Sisian, Pambak, Gegharkunik, Shatvan, and Kapan (possibly others as well). To me, this makes no sense since these cities are within Armenia proper, the Azerbaijani names are not official names of the cities, they are not used by the current populations of these cities, nor are they used by government officials. I was hoping you can provide some advice/feedback on what would be an appropriate course of action (if any?). @ Laurel Lodged: This may be of interest to you as well. Any advice is appreciated! Regards, Archives908 ( talk) 20:37, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
@ Archives908: @ Laurel Lodged: I've explained a bit of what I interpret Wikipedia guidelines to recommend regarding including alternative names, in the debate regarding including the Armenian place name Shushi in the lede of the Shusha article: [14]
To summarize: Wikipedia guidelines recommend per MOS:LEADALT that "...Significant alternative names for the topic should be mentioned in the article, usually in the first sentence or paragraph. These may include alternative spellings, longer or shorter forms, historical names, and significant names in other languages. Per WP:OTHERNAMES/ WP:NCPLACE that "The lead: The title can be followed in the first line by a list of alternative names in parentheses, Relevant foreign language names (one used by at least 10% of sources in the English language or that is used by a group of people which used to inhabit this geographical place) are permitted."
I interpret these as inclusive guidelines - that historical and significant alternative place names may be placed in the lede of an article, or in its etymology section if the amount of names become too numerous for readability, if either 10% of English language sources use the name or if it's used by a people that used to live in the locality - the existence of a large diaspora community from the specific place for example. Historical context should also be taken into consideration - what significance/connection a city has for a people historically, culturally/religiously, while recognizing the various national narratives that exist and staying inclusive. The matter of including material that is controversial should be raised and discussed individually on the talk pages of the articles. Sometimes a Request for Comment (RfC) may be advisable.

Hey, I appreciate your recent contributions, adding the Armenian-majority. Though, can the wording be changed since the current one is a bit unclear for the users to understand? Perhaps it can be changed from The village has an ethnic Armenian population, and had an Armenian majority in 1989
to simply The village has an Armenian-majority
since none of the villages that were Armenian-majority in 1989, that are now controlled by Armenians has changed its majority, they're all still Armenian-majority. Or you can change it to something else, that's clearer and easier flowing than what it is now. Cheers. —

Hello, I am curious why you want to move de jure Azerbaijani places to their Armenian exonyms. If Germany occupies Scania and calls it by its German exonym Schonen, will you also move it? -- Geysirhead ( talk) 09:23, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I've removed the sentence about Armenian-majority of several villages in Nagorno-Karabakh that you added, as they were not present in the source you provided. If it's somewhere else in the given source and I somehow missed it, then feel free to correct me and I'll self-revert my edits. — CuriousGolden (T· C) 21:21, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

@ Diannaa: I hope the passage on Yeghegis is sufficiently rewritten now [27], by the way - do you have a cutoff percentage when looking at Earwig's Copyvio Detector for considering material to be in violation of copyright? Or do you look more closely at the text for each case? The previous version was marked "Violation Unlikely" with a 39.0% percentage [28] while the rewritten version stands at 6.5% [29] AntonSamuel ( talk) 12:07, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
I found out according to this source, 200 Zoroastrians reside in Afghanistan, it could be something to add if factual to the case. https://www.refworld.org/docid/3ae6aabdcc.html#:~:text=Information%20on%20the%20treatment%20of%20the%20Zoroastrian%20community%20in%20Afghanistan,1994).

Anton, sorry to mention but something doesn't seem right with the new page setup. Is there a way to make it more simpler and straight forward instead of having a larger chart? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SCPdude629 ( talk • contribs) 02:55, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
Thank you Anton, in the meantime, I'll find a way to gather better sources, Afghanistan has indeed changed over the last 30 years so there's a chance those numbers are no longer relevant, just keep them there for now till I can hopefully find accurate numbers.
Hi Anton me again, I just took a moment to try and start investigating the Uzbekistani Population of Zoroastrians that were deemed unverified. If this count is true than we need the best source to back it up. May I suggest examining this link to see i it works? https://zoroastrians.net/2013/08/21/uzbekistan-zoroastrian-association-registered/
Mmm, I will try to do research on this in hopes of uncovering clues to a more precise count but I personally believe there's something there, a community of the remnant faith. It may take time but I should find something soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SCPdude629 ( talk • contribs) 23:29, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
Sorry for double messages but I found an odd claim, this page for Uzbekistan claims to have 7400 but it still is strange, is there any source that's more reliable? /info/en/?search=Religion_in_Uzbekistan — Preceding unsigned comment added by SCPdude629 ( talk • contribs) 23:32, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

To which Artsakh province did this community originally belong? Did it change province after 2020? I'm seeing confusing records. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 12:40, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
@ AntonSamuel: Hello again. So I found some information regarding this that you may be interested in. According to Russian Wikipedia page for Umudlu: "despite its actual location in the Martakert region of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, it was included in the Shahumyan region and from 1995 to 1998 it was its administrative centre, which was later moved to the city of Kelbajar." So, it seems Umudlu is indeed somewhat of an exclave and has even been the capital of Shahumyan Province until 1998. — CuriousGolden (T· C) 14:37, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Stop reverting the page. You shall not publish biased info. For such issues, there is a Talk Page. Use it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fmelikov ( talk • contribs) 11:04, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
I'm not sure about this topic, so I ask you, since you have been on wiki for much longer than I. Villages and other territories controlled by Armenian/Russian forces seem to have an Azerbaijani name for some reason. For example the village Kherkhan /info/en/?search=X%C9%99rxan,_Khojavend should be titled Kherkhan, Martuni instead of Xərxan, Khojavend since Armenian/Russian forces control it. Here's proof: A short documentary set in the village. There are other examples /info/en/?search=Quzumk%C9%99nd /info/en/?search=C%C9%99miyy%C9%99t /info/en/?search=Muxtar. Shushi has been renamed Shusha since Azerbaijani forces now control it, but Stepanakert and Martuni haven't been since Azerbaijani forces don't control it. Do you know why in this case these villages have Azerbaijani names? KhndzorUtogh ( talk) 22:12, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Hello AntonSamuel. I find it very strange that you, being the author of so many proposals to rename articles concerning Karabakh villages and clearly aware of the practice given your message above, would go on and rename them without consulting anyone to potentially POV names (like you recently did to Kirov, Shusha,) and that you would actually endorse a new user, KhndzorUtogh, as he is renaming such articles en masse on his own will and believes that this was the way to go. Am I the only one who sees a consensus violation issue here? Parishan ( talk) 18:43, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
I believe, given the sensitivity of the issue and the fact that it belongs to AA2, it would be a better idea to present those same comments on the talkpage prior to renaming rather than in the edit summary (in any event, those who engaged in canvassing have been blocked a while ago). I for one do not instantly see how a "name used by the de facto administration" should absolutely be given priority, especially if the name is neither historical, nor Soviet-time, like "Hin Shen". You also do not seem to mind that a user who has only been on Wikipedia for 10 days and believes "Shushi has been renamed Shusha since Azerbaijani forces control it" is having a field day renaming other such articles under dubious pretexts. Parishan ( talk) 19:08, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
I am very sorry but "I have already explained" does not constitute an argument. Wikipedia articles are a community effort. If I had found your explanation convincing and your move uncontroversial, I would probably not have left a message here. I disagree that "English Wikipedia hasn't employed a general use of Russian names for neutrality purposes" as the article in question has featured the Soviet name "Kirov" since the day it was created, and this may perhaps be just the way to avoid sliding into POV. Again, excuse me for being blunt but you cannot come in and change titles in articles that are covered by two ArbComs that lasted for months and months just because you believe "you have explained it", especially when you admit that you have "much to learn about the historical context of the region". Nor can you claim that you "let admins deal with problemantic issues" and then do this, when an admin clearly stated that there was no consensus to rename the article. I suggest you revert the articles back to their consensus versions, and we can start working towards establishing a common practice to reflect the toponymy of the region.

Please weigh in on the Marz documents. I found them via the Persian Wikipedia at fa:باردیدزور. Are they comprehensive? Is there a machine-readable list of their names for cities, towns, and villages? Uncle G ( talk) 05:21, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
Hello there! I want to thank you sincerely for making me aware of the biased nature of the term "unrecognized". I personally have always felt that terms like "breakaway" or "separatist" were more objective than "self-proclaimed" (which has always evoked imaginations of Napoleon Bonaparte illegitimately coronating himself as emperor), which is why I naturally went for "unrecognized" as a compromise. As I mentioned on my user page, I am dedicated to ending edit wars by other users over mundane things like the aforementioned terms, and I will naturally change all my edits containing the word "unrecognized". Thank you once again for making me cognizant of this. BaxçeyêReş ( talk) 12:34, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi Anton, hope you're doing well. I had suspicions of Sockpuppetry from the user Creffel done by banned Sockmaster CuriousGolden. My initial thoughts regarding this came when CuriousGolden was banned, and I saw sudden activity in all the pages Curious edited, done by Creffel. If you look at Creffel's talk page, him and the Socmaster already knew each other even before the ban, and most likely off wiki too according to their talks [ [33]]. The reasons I'm alarmed is that after CuriousGolden's ban on April 3rd, Creffel had suddenly started to edit again the day after, and all of his edit comments and arguments very similar to CuriousGolden [ [34]] (see his edits before April and starting from April, it's like two different people). And all those edits done to CuriousGolden's edited pages, restoring his edits with very similar more advanced comments including rules/etc. (which he mostly didn't do in his previous comments of edits), and very alike to how Curious would talk/reason. My suspicions are that he is lending his account to banned editor CuriousGolden, or at the very least contacting/advising with him off wiki, as the similarities of his edits/comments, timings and pages edited are just too matching to be otherwise. Can you kindly take a look and let me know what you think? The reason I'm asking you is that you are a lot more experienced than myself, and would have better understanding of this situation. Waiting for your reply, thanks in advance! ZaniGiovanni ( talk) 08:29, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
@ ZaniGiovanni: @ Creffel: Unfortunately I don't have the time right now to look into this matter in-depth myself, in the mean time - please stop edit warring, that won't help anybody with anything. I thought I'd ping @ Jerm: that opened the sockpuppet investigation against CuriousGolden and @ Cabayi: that closed it, and ask you what your thoughts are regarding the matter? If it's not ok to raise the matter here I understand, and I see that it would have been better if a proper sockpuppet investigation was opened. From a cursory view, Creffel and CuriousGolden do seem to have a similar style and editing patterns [35] and Creffel does not seem like an inexperienced/new editor - this may be because of a mentorship of sorts as was mentioned earlier, or it may not. AntonSamuel ( talk) 07:22, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
I already opened a sockpuppet investigation as I was told by other users [ 1]. ZaniGiovanni ( talk) 08:55, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, it's been a while since our talk and trying to update information in regards to Demographics of the religion. I have done all I can with scoping sources so far and the information adds up.

Thasnks for all your recent work on those villages still in Artsakh. Do you intend to Anglicise the spelling of those remaining villages? A few like Aşağı Yemişcan still have turkic characters. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 10:33, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi Anton, You'll recall the editor Curious Golden. He was banned for using socks. He was not banned on Commons. He still operates there as Golden. He has been up to his old tricks there, renaming the category pages of villages using Azeri names and Azeri font. In the case of Drmbon, Nagorno-Karabakh, he has renamed it to Heyvali. Could you advise how to deal with this? Thanks, Laurel Lodged ( talk) 14:04, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

--Armatura ( talk) 22:03, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi there Anton, hope you're doing well. Wanted to ask a question, maybe Laurel Lodged can answer as well as I've seen them edit in AA area. Where does the "de jure / de facto" come from in articles like Farukh, Khramort, etc? Basically the towns that have always been part of NKAO and were not connected to the 7 regions that UN declared for Armenian troops to leave. I also don't see any reliable third-party sources for the "de jure" part in all of these articles, am I missing something? ZaniGiovanni ( talk) 13:19, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
Just wanted you to know that there are no "hard feelings" in regard to your bold page move, Farux → Farukh. Wasn't really invested in any of the titles discussed in the RM, and I moved the article to "Farux" strictly in line with the article titling policy. While I don't totally agree with the MRV closer's comments, particularly his use of NOGOODOPTIONS, which did not apply at all, the outcome does make good sense. So this situation has become what I think is a valid use of the WP:IAR policy. Have to commend you for "sticking to your values" and for your obvious expertise in these areas. Thank you for your instruction, as I learned some new things during our exchanges. Best of Everything to You and Yours, and... Stay Healthy! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'r there 09:33, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Hey, I've seen that you've notified several editors of GS/AA by means of using general Twinkle warnings with a message about GS/AA added at the end. Because of the rather long and rote text prior to the added information about GS/AA, which in some cases may not even obviously apply to the edit (e.g. "unconstructive"), I imagine that most editors aren't getting to the part where you explain what GS/AA is. I would recommend using the standard {{subst:alert/first|aa}} CTOPS notification and add a GS/AA explanation to the bottom of that, as the CTOPS alert notification more immediately clarifies the stakes of editing in the area and establishes that failure to follow all rules carefully will result in sanctions. signed, Rosguill talk 19:33, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
