On behalf of WP:Armenia, I would like to welcome you to Wikipedia. Consider joining the project or surfing through the page if you intend on editing Armenian-related articles. Feel free to ask me or any other user any questions you might have. Hope you enjoy your stay. - Fedayee ( talk) 03:37, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks Sardur for the welcome, but I’ve had some regrets coming here. I’ve underestimated the severity of all the conflicts on Wikipedia. I will summarise my points to the best of my abilities.
Messieurs Fedayee, Gazifikator, Grandmaster and Dbachmann have a really disturbing way of handling this situation.
First and foremost, Dbachmann’s language here is inexcusable (see here [1]). If I was administrating this place, quite frankly, I would have expelled him out of Wikipedia.
It is without question also that Grandmaster reply’s of pouring oil onto the fire was not a good idea either. He repeats here that No mention that most scholars do not support this dating. Didn't I quote in my reply Thomson admitting it is highly disputed; didn't I quote Hewsen withdrawing his support for Thomson’s position when he said the dating was uncertain? What's this hullabaloo of rolling back somebody else’s changes? Grandmaster made no attempt to even modify the newly proposed modifications. I was tempted to modify MarshalBagramyan’s edit to address issues (among one, the way the dating was presented) only to find out the changes were totally undone. I would have liked to have been given the chance to make the relevant changes.
Gazifikator came and reverted and only commented later. I'm an observer here and obviously I'd like to have some feedback of the editors before they fight over which version is accurate. Didn't I say that I was waiting other editors’ feedback before I presented my position? Why was I ignored?
Lastly, Fedayee came and made baseless accusations directed against another user. Even claiming that Grandmaster 'find[s] that [a] nationalist driven created article like a good article', as if an apparent hypercritic of Movses Khorenatsi would even consider Movses 'Kaghankatvatsi, who obviously copied Khorenatsi, any more credible (assuming that single source which Fedayee refers to is indeed Movses Kaghankatvatsi) the latter. Grandmaster's hypercritism of ancient scholars is obviously constructive and needed and Fedayee's allegation of double standard seems to be destinated to discredit Grandmaster (character assassination).
I will not go back in the talk page before things fix themselves, if ever things fix themselves.
Hello The Diamond Apex. Thanks for your compliment. I added some details to Abdaladze's biography, but I don't have much info on him right now. Your collaboration is always welcome. Warm regards, -- Kober Talk 04:44, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Please be aware of this request for arbitration: [2] Unfortunately, I had to take it to the arbitration, as any attempts at dispute resolution were unsuccessful. Regards, Grand master 06:21, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
