::Azerbaijan was an independent state as of 1918 (the period spans over to 1919). Moreover, it was a country/region recognized under this name, see Keith Abbott's publication from 1863. ] 03:18, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

:::By that logic, we could say that these movies were made in Armenia, as the territory of Azerbaijan according to some 19th century sources, was Armenian territory.] 17:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
This article has been rated as List-class on Misplaced Pages's content assessment scale.
Impossible, the ADR was not founded until 1918. How could the movies between 1898 and 1918 have been made in "the country of Azerbaijan"?Hajji Piruz22:35, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Again, impossible, the area you are talking about was split up into governorates and none of them were called Azerbaijan. Also, Azerbaijan was wikilinked to the Republic of Azerbaijan, which is even more incorrect. These films were Azerbaijani films, but unless they were made in the ADR, Azerbaijan SSR, or Republic of Azerbaijan, they werent made in Azerbaijan.
If you want I can show you a map or give you the wikilinks to the governorates. Misplaced Pages has these articles already written.
I think movie page should not be a place for political or ethnic POV and OR. Movies were produced in the country of Azerbaijan (read 1863 article by Abbott for definition of "country of Azerbaijan"). Whether that country was part of Russian empire, Soviet Union or was independent has nothing to do with the location where the movies were made. Atabek19:20, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
This is ridiculous. I dont understand why the Russian history of the region is being undermined. These movies were not produced in the country of Azerbaijan. Baku Governorate, Elisabethpol Governorate, etc... where did these governorates come from then? Whats even more interesting is that its being wikilinked to the Republic of Azerbaijan (last I checked, it was founded in 1991).
Misplaced Pages is supposed to be as accurate and factual as possible, regardless of what article it is. Atabek, your statement "I think movie page should not be a place for political or ethnic POV and OR" is completely unacceptable as A) your are assuming bad faith and dividing along national lines, and B) you are saying that this article doesnt need to be improved. Thats basically what you are saying...Hajji Piruz19:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Again, WP:AGF. Movies listed in the page are Azerbaijani and they were made in Azerbaijan, which is not only the name of the modern state but also the name of the region, northern part of which was in Russian Empire. Atabek23:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
