Greetings Folantin, I saw your post on
user:VartanM's talk page and I humbly disagree with your take on this wikiproject. I think it's a very useful means to collaborate on articles related to Nagorno-Karabakh. I have an interest in Nagorno-Karabakh (as well as other unrecognized countries) and I joined WikiProject Karabakh to improve articles on Karabakh. I belong to neither WikiProject Armenia or WikiProject Azerbaijan. I invite you to join WikiProject Karabakh as I've noticed that you have knowledge and interest in the Caucases and there are many
areas where this could be helpful.

Salut! I don't if you can really call Les Abencérages, ou L'étendard de Grenade « Cherubini's last serious opera » as you have in the beginning of your article. Ali-Baba, ou Les quarante voleurs is a tragédie-lyric. I haven't heard it or read the score, as you may have, but I'm very suspicious that the statement is incorrect, and that Ali-Baba is it. - - And by the way, do English speakers really translated « étendard » as « standard » ?? Isn't « flag » better? (I was taught that « standard » was a hyper-correct, obsolete English word for « flag », but what do I know! Is this a word you hear every day? I though a « standard » is what you call elementary school levels in Britian.) Tchao! Charvex ( talk) 12:48, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you! Brianga ( talk) 11:16, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

First off, *I* added that reference and have read the book. While I didn't write the entire article and can't guarantee that every fact is from that reference, I can confirm that the topic itself is not a hoax by any means. The book was later reviewed by reputable journals who bemoaned its lack of larger maps, but never hinted that the book didn't treat a scholarly topic. I'd have no problem removing the details the anon created, but I do have a problem with the entire article being tossed out because no one disputing the current article wants to bother correcting it. Its also scary that a string of 4 redirects has now been created from the original article. Shell babelfish 22:35, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Folantin
Just thought I'd drop a quick note to point out that I have suggested at Talk:List of events named massacres that having helpfully set out your concerns, it would be great if you could suggest a solution. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 01:36, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
While I appreciate your opinion that the GA process is flawed, I suggest the comment that you've recently added to your user page goes against wikipedia's guideline on civility. Would you please consider rewording it? Thanks-- jwanders Talk 23:34, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
As you've seen I've added a lot of titles. My suggestion is to limit it to one work per composer so it clearly represents a new approach to extending coverage. How about that? Best. -- Kleinzach ( talk) 09:17, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
How about (premiere) dating the individual operas in the list (e.g. Die Jagd ( Johann Adam Hiller, 1770)? One possible approach would be to present the list - for CotM - purely by date, e.g. Operas of the 1770s and 1780s. -- Kleinzach ( talk) 01:44, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Hiya, I'm trying to get caught up on the whole Geir Smith situation now. I see that there's some ranting about me on French Buddhist sites, [1] and that PHG seems to be involved somehow, but I'm unclear on the exact link. Do you have any insight? PHG definitely copy/pastes the image of the Dalai Lama all over the place when he gets upset, and I see some messages on PHG's talkpage about "Thank you for posting the Buddhist perspective." [2] I'd like to bring this up at the current ArbCom case, but I'm not sure exactly what to say! Would you be interested in offering a statement, just to make ArbCom aware of what's going on? -- El on ka 09:38, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Salut! I just read your Rossini article about his opera « L'inganno felice ». I believe the English translation of the title is not quite correct. It is translated as "The Fortunate Deception", which in Italian would be « L'inganno fortunati ». (My dictionary translates the English meaning of "fortunate" as "good, unforeseen, and auspicious", which not quite right, I think.) The word felice means "happy" or "merry", which is simple and clear. Considing this opera is a simple farsa, I believe these words are closer to the true meaning. - - Perhaps you will agree that « The Merry Deception » is better than « The Fortunate Deception. with my best regards, Charvex ( talk) 10:20, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

dear Folantin. I think I came with a good solution. Still refering to your sources for the general picture but leaving behind the disputed detailles. What was written in the article contradicts itself. 1- Nader Shah was an Afshar and was a Shia. 2- The city of mashad is a holy Shia city, and placing the capital there simply is in contrast to your claim that he did this in order to appease the Sunnis. 3- He did not favor Sunnis. As you wrote is that he lobbied for Shias in the Sunni circles, letting them go to Hajj. 4- Afterall the Afghan attacks (supported by the Ottomans) was A Sunni assault on Iran. He defetaed them and restored the order. What I and all sources DO AGREE is that he tried to appease the Sunnis (and other religious minorities e.g. jews) by lifting some intolerant Shia practices of the late Safavid era. By emphasising the Kolah-e Naderi you depict a picture which is wrong if one does not sees the context better or names many other different policies/ inventions of his. So I hope we can come into agreements.-- Babakexorramdin ( talk) 17:53, 18 March 2008 (UTC) I forgot to say that Jafari school is the same as the twelver Shia school.-- Babakexorramdin ( talk) 17:55, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
