Evidence presented by User:Aivazovsky

User:AdilBaguirov violating Misplaced Pages:No original research

On various occasions, in various arguments on user talk pages, Adil has attempted to use references and twist them to his own point of view and to draw his own conclusions. He then attempts to "sell" these conclusions as undisputed facts to other users on the disscussion page. He has done this on the Qazakh article and on the Nakhichevan article where he insisted on including a reference to an HETQ piece that supposedly confirmed that the Armenians destroyed their own khachkars in Nakhichevan. However, the stones that were discussed in the article were not khachkars and nowhere does it back up Adil's assertion. Initally, I hastily agreed with Adil to include the HETQ reference in the article to prevent another major Armenian-Azeri dispute from emerging (Shah Abbas' deportations was the major issue at the time). However, as I looked over the situation again, I reversed my position and challenged Adil. Needless to say, he was unable back up his argument. See my full discussion with him on the dispute here and . Even after this, though, Adil continued to try and squeeze the HETQ reference in the article . -- Aivazovsky 19:24, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

User:AdilBaguirov violating Misplaced Pages:No personal attacks

Adil has attacked my credibility and has generalized the Armenians as Turkic-hating people . -- Aivazovsky 19:24, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

User:AdilBaguirov responsible multipule article closings

As proof of Adil's disruptive behavior on Misplaced Pages, I would like to point out that most of the articles he has participated in were closed due to edit-warring. These include: Karki (Azerbaijan), Koryun (not a recent example, but this illustrates what I'm talking about), Mammed Amin Rasulzade, Nagorno-Karabakh, Nakhichevan, Qazakh, Stepanakert, Tigranes the Great, and Urartu. Before his arrival, all of these were either stable or at least somewhat stable. I ask that the administrators look at the edit histories of these articles. -- Aivazovsky 20:51, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

User:AdilBaguirov evading his block

After being blocked, Adil, frustrated with his inability to continue creating tension, attempted to evade his block under User talk:158.59.89.27, User talk:158.59.89.27, User talk:70.108.130.75. -- Aivazovsky 20:54, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

User:Batabat

I ask that the administrators investigate User:Batabat. In this user's short tenure on Misplaced Pages, he has defended Adil's behavior of User:Khoikhoi's talk page and he created a user page that only consisted of the following text (also see here for evidence: ):

It should be noted that the Republic of Armenia has never laid claim to Nakhichevan, the autnomous Azerbaijani exclave seperated from the rest of Azerbaijan by Armenia's Syunik province. This was an obvious attempt to provoke a response from Armenian editors. His clear unconstructive attitude towards the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict is a violation of Misplaced Pages:Assume good faith. It has been claimed that Batabat is a sockpuppet of User:AdilBaguirov, though this has yet to be proven. -- Aivazovsky 21:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Evidence presented by User:Atabek

User:Aivazovsky violating Misplaced Pages:No original research

User:Aivazovsky has published a map and some material based on freelance blog at Qazakh page, claiming that it's from some Andrew Andersen, PhD ]. The article claimed that the entire Qazakh uyezd of Azerbaijan was part of Armenia up to 1931. When proven that these facts and the map were false at Talk:Qazakh, User:Aivazovsky quickly changed his estimate to year 1927 (again WP:OR), yet still refused to accept that Andrew Andersen, "PhD" is not a credible source.

Further User:AdilBaguirov provided a lengthy summary of facts, proving Andersen is not a credible source, to which User:Aivazovsky's response was:

Normally, I would respond to each of these, but this time, I don't think I will. Look, Adil, you're not helping the situation at all. I'm working on resolving it constructively with Atabek and Kober above.

So the evidence was simply brushed aside, when not in interest of User:Aivazovsky. Moreover, when presented with counter evidence, User:Aivazovsky simply ceased to respond to the evidence on Talk:Qazakh, further prolonging the blockage of otherwise important page. It shall also be mentioned here, that in parallel, User:Aivazovsky also reverted the March Days page from a lengthy article, which was mediated with User:Nareklm with help of User:Srose to a single paragraph version, removing over 25(!) book and article references.

At Talk:Qazakh, User:Aivazovsky was further requested to prove that Andrew Andersen, "PhD" is a credible scholar and indeed a PhD, but he did not provide a single evidence in the form of journal, conference or book publication or even link or quote to those. His reference was again to an archived website, and recently User:Mikkalai presented some more evidence at Talk:Qazakh that someone by the name "Andrew Andersen" could not have been a professor at Moscow State University. User:Mikkalai also presented a Canadian website, which shows that Andrew Andersen was actually fired from the University of Victoria in 2003 for racism. With all this evidence, User:Aivazovsky keeps edit warring, blocking Qazakh page and, in fact, using Andrew Andersen maps on several other websites. Atabek 01:30, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

User:Artaxiad/User:Nareklm violating Misplaced Pages:No personal attacks and Misplaced Pages:Civility

As we go through the arbitration, User:Artaxiad, here is the comment of User:Artaxiad at ] left just today:

Grandmaster you don't get a vote first of all, second these are all Turks so obviously they would want this deleted.Artaxiad 19:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Obviously User:Artaxiad cannot hold the uncivil racist outlash on other contributors of Misplaced Pages, who have equal rights. Atabek 22:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

And care to explain how calling some a Turk is racist? I'm Armenian so I just made a racist remark? Artaxiad 12:33, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

User:Artaxiad violating Misplaced Pages:NPOV

Article March Days was earlier mediated with User:Nareklm, who is now User:Artaxiad. The mediator was User:Srose. Now, using previous attempts by User:Aivazovsky, User:Artaxiad without any explanation or discussion on Talk:March Days is editing the content of the article and removing NPOV references. Moreover, he is attempting to rephrase(!) the precise original word-to-word quotes, such as the one here] from Michael Croissant. Also, here I have to quote the words of mediator User:Srose at ]:

It is my understanding that one user is continually reverting essentially the same block of text. I took a look at the removed text, and the only portion which should be removed is: "The telegram shows that Lenin, with his genius for appreciating people, felt the rashness of Shaumyan. Lenin's advice about diplomacy was nothing but a warning to be more careful and less provoking." This reads like speculation. However, the other parts of the article which are continuously reverted should be kept. They are very well-cited and not, to my reading, POV. I encourage the involved editors to respond here. Srose (talk) 17:50, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

After this mediation effort, User:Aivazovsky and User:Artaxiad have been constantly attempting to revert the page or remove the references particularly from Firuz Kazemzadeh, a prominent U.S. scholar of Persian origin. Particularly User:Artaxiad comments:

Not everyone knows this person. Nareklm 18:07, 26 January 2007 (UTC) OR

Do you own this article? now, I have the right to modify it, not every historian is reliable or NPOV.Artaxiad 01:03, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

It shall be noted that Dr. Kazemzadeh is a Professor Emeritus of History from Yale University and is a top expert on the region, who has published books on the subject. Dr. Kazemzadeh also headed for few years the U.S. Committee on Religious Freedoms. The book of his, which I reference, is from 1951 and has an introductory comments from Harvard professor Michael Karpovich. The references I presented from the book, present precise figures of both Azerbaijani and Armenian casulaties with the latter being referenced even from Armenian sources. What's amazing is that instead of grabbing a copy of the book from library and reading it, discussing further on Talk:March Days, User:Aivazovsky and User:Artaxiad, without scholarly qualifications close to those of Dr. Kazemzadeh, simply brush it aside calling it POV. Atabek 22:20, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

User:TigranTheGreat violating Misplaced Pages:NPOV

Here is a clear hate comment posted by User:TigranTheGreat at ], which clearly shows the intent and thinking of a contributor:

No, we admit that what is now Republic of Armenia, as well as half of Azerbaijan, has been populated by Armeninians since antiquity, whose percentage decreased only due to Turkoman invasions in 16-18th cc (except in Karabakh and some other areas). And much of the area began to become fully Armenian again after the Genocide and influx from Diaspora. And we fully intend to restore the Armenian population to the rest of these ancestral lands, bit by bit.--TigranTheGreat 14:37, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Atabek 18:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Evidence presented by Grandmaster

Edit warring at Paytakaran

Every time I tried to edit this article my edits were removed by User:TigranTheGreat, User:Eupator and User:Fadix. These people simply deleted all the references that I provided under various pretexts, and prevented me from editing, which is a violation of WP:OWN. I think no diffs are necessary, it is enough to check the history of this article from the very beginning to see what was going on. The most glaring example is this revert by Eupator: , which undid all of my recent edits. Note that no explanation was provided in the edit summary for deletion of a large text, every single line of which was fully referenced. When I restored my version, it was again reverted by Fadix, who expressed his disagreement with the intro, but reverted all of my edits.

I tried to resolve the dispute by discussing the issue by talk, but when extensive discussions with the above users on talk gave no results, an admin User:Khoikhoi filed a request for the official mediation with regard to the dispute on Paytakaran at Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_mediation/Paytakaran, and while me and other involved editors on both sides agreed, it was User:Fadix who rejected it, and mediation never took place. After that I filed an AMA request at Misplaced Pages:AMA_Requests_for_Assistance/Requests/January_2007/Grandmaster, and the issue is currently being mediated, please check Talk:Paytakaran.

Edit warring at Caucasian Albania

The same pattern of undoing of all my edits can be seen in the history of this article. As soon as I made edits to this article, each one of which cited its reliable third party sources such as encyclopedia Iranica, User:Azerbaijani reverted all of my edits under the false pretext that I removed referenced info, which I did not. When I restored my edits, they were removed again by an anon IP and then by a sock of banned user User:ArenM. After the revert of vandalism my edits were reverted by another sock of the same banned user , and then by User:Artaxiad without any explanation whatsoever: So you can see here very strange coordination of actions between User:Azerbaijani, banned User:Ararat arev and User:Artaxiad, who reverted in turn my edits to this article. Grandmaster 07:59, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Edit warring by User:ROOB323

This person has been edit warring at various articles, but History of Nagorno-Karabakh is the most glaring example of his unmotivated reverts. This article is extremely poorly written and is in desperate need of a complete rewrite. As soon as I made some edits to this article, which included new sections, removal of unsourced or improperly sourced info, links to existing articles, and additions of sourced info about Mihranid dynasty, etc and other fixes, all my edits were reverted by an anon IP. After my version was restored by another user, it was reverted by User:ROOB323: ], then by an anon IP: , and when the article was semi-protected to stop anons from reverting, it was reverted by User:Artaxiad: , and again by User:ROOB323: . After repeated reversion of my edits he made some typo fixes, and now accuses me of revering them, as if it is OK to remove referenced information and other edits by other users and then make your own minor changes. On 18 February 2007 he made 3 rvs on this page, calling edits by other users “vandalism”, which resulted in page protection. . As of now, he still prevents other editors from adding the info to the article without any explanation on talk. Grandmaster 08:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Also accusation of this user of me nominating the articles for deletion without any good reason is false and holds no water whatsoever. I explained that the article I nominated for deletion at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Khachkar destruction was a POV fork of other articles, and as such should be deleted. It is not like I go around and nominate for deletion every article created by Armenian users, this is the only one I nominated and it certainly was created as a fork to existing articles on the same topic. Grandmaster 08:57, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Incivility and personal attacks by User:Fadix

This editor makes on a regular basis personal attacks and incivil comments on other Misplaced Pages users, who happen to disagree with him. It is hard to find such a discussion where he did not mention the editors he is in disagreement with in a negative context. Such users can find their names even in the headers of the talk threads that Fadix starts, such as this: Talk:Nakhichevan#I_see_Wikipedia_is_much_of_a_game_for_Grandmaster_as_it_is_to_Adil Such behavior continued for quite some time now, and numerous incivility blocks of this user speak for themselves: I think Misplaced Pages admins can provide more details on why they blocked this user if required. I supported an RfC on this user’s conduct, which was also endorsed by Misplaced Pages admin InShaneee, please see Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Fadix. However, as usual RfC did not generate much response and did not result in any change of this user’s behavior. Grandmaster 11:40, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Incivility and racist comments by User:TigranTheGreat

This person made nationalistic and racist remarks on a number of occasions.

At the end of this thread this user made racist comments about Azerbaijani people.

Admin User:Francis Tyers, who mediated the dispute, removed some of them and pointed Tigran to their inappropriateness:

In the bottom of this thread he attacked the ethnic background of User:Aivazovsky, formerly known as Clevelander and made racist comments. I’m not providing diffs, I suggest the arbitrators read that thread.

Sockpuppetry by User:Artaxiad and others

There was definitely some sockpuppetry and possibly meatpuptery involved. User:Artaxiad/Nareklm and his sock User:Mikara were reverting pages to support Armenian and Iranian editors. Mikara being sock of Artaxiad/Nareklm was officially proved by checkuser: Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Nareklm This was not his first sock, previously he used another sock called HayasaArmen to violate wiki policies. Moreover, banned User:Ararat arev was also reverting the contribs of Azerbaijani users to Azerbaijan-Armenia and Iran related articles using socks (for example, User:ArenM and User:Tutmoses8) and countless anonymous IPs. Of course, this led to edit wars becoming more and more intense. In addition, User:Mardavich and User:Artaxiad supported each other in reverting the articles and voting on various pages. Mardavich voted: Narek voted too: While I can understand Fadix voting here, because he contributed to discussions previously and after voting, Narek never neither edited nor discussed this article, so it cannot be considered a good faith vote. This activity was definitely coordinated outside of wiki, and reverts by Ararat aren strangely coincided with those of some of the aforementioned users. It is also interesting to note reappearance of another permanently banned Armenian User:Rovoam and his vandalism of the arbcom page. Somehow he instantly became aware of this arbcom case and turned up for support.

It is also not nice to see your edits being reverted by people, who never contributed a singe line to the articles they rv or their talks, and you can only guess what their real motives are. User:Azerbaijani and User:Mardavich deserve special attention. If you check their contributions, you’ll see that in addition to edit warring on various Iran related articles, these people have been actively involved in edit wars on Armenia – Azerbaijan related articles, undoing edits by Azerbaijani users. Just a couple of examples of their rvs:

Azerbaijani:

Same for Mardavich:

In addition, these 2 have been edit warring on such articles as Atabeg, Azerbaijan, Arran (Azerbaijan), Musavat, Safavid dynasty and many others.

Please see Grandmaster 12:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

You could see that while some Iranian users were reverting for Armenian ones, some Armenian users returned the favor. Some examples:

It is also interesting to see the way Artaxiad tried to clean up Misplaced Pages of images related to Azerbaijan. Check his recent contribs: He tagged for deletion almost every single image uploaded by Azerbaijani users, and many of them have been deleted. It would not be a problem if he was so critical with regard to the images uploaded by users of other ethnic backgrounds, including Armenian, but such selectiveness makes me think that this user tried to make a certain point. Grandmaster 13:36, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

A comment on Golbez’s comment

It would be good to provide some background as to what started an edit war on that article in the first place. Nagorno-Karabakh is a very troubled article, it was protected many times even before me or Adil joined Misplaced Pages. So obviously one should edit such articles very cautiously, considering that it has a very delicate balance of words and any unilateral change may result in serious debates and edit wars. The intro of that article was disputed many times, and eventually the dispute was resolved when after many months of debates, RfC, etc an admin User:EI_C proposed a statement with which the involved parties more or less agreed. The article was stable for a while, until this edit by User:TigranTheGreat, who returned after the long absence:

He changed the intro, and the debate instantly resumed. This is when Golbez joined the dispute. I respect Golbez as an admin, but unfortunately he is not that good as a mediator, in my opinion he should stay out of such troubled articles as this one. Instead of restoring the status quo and inviting the parties to discuss the issues before making changes, he supported Tigran’s action. Moreover, he even reverted the admin User:EI_C, who tried to restore the compromise version. Golbez admitted on the talk his sympathy for separatist movements, which did not increase his credibility with Azeri editors, and in general his involvement resulted in further aggravation of the situation. I asked Francis to join and help resolve the problem, and eventually by joint efforts the dispute was resolved, but it took another couple of months before the parties settled on the current version of the intro. All in all, I think that such troubled articles should be mediated by more experienced mediators such as Francis, and while I’m sure that the intentions of Golbez were good, the result of his interference into that particular article was really negative. Grandmaster 14:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Evidence presented by AdilBaguirov

Original research by User:Aivazovsky and personal attacks and incivility by User:Fadix and User:Artaxiad (aka User:Nareklm)

Unfortunately, some of the editors never lose any time for making counter-productive falseless accusations -- despite themselves being the initiators of personal attacks, the 3RR, as well as violating the Original Research and Verifiability clauses of Misplaced Pages. For example, user Fadix continued his harrassment campaign against me . User Artaxiad (aka Nareklm) continued his groundless charges of sockpuppetry and IP anon, etc., without any proof -- despite the fact that the check user proved that I am who I am, whilst my accusers, like Artaxiad (Nareklm), use socks and are IP vandals .

Moreover, Artaxiad (Nareklm) threatened to Dmcdevit revert wars, going for IP anons: "if you guys want to play this game i will to, im not stupid i know how to find these things out, and i promise you its not going to be nice rv wars will start, im not threatening but alot of us are becoming inpatient"

He also expresses his intentions to Fadix: "Hmm you are right i agree, but we should learn how to fight back because that is what we are known for i have a few tactics but i can't list them here, you remember that email?" Fadix made another extensive personal attack on my persona on 02:42, 18 February 2007 (UTC), that was removed by admin Khoikhoi and Fadix temporarily blocked

User Artaxiad (aka Nareklm) continued to make more attacks on me, such as generalized allegations of me supposedly being anti Armenian and what's funny, anti-Iranian:

Because of this, I've accused my attackers to be anti-Azerbaijani and anti-Turkish -- which user Artaxiad (Nareklm) never denied. I've addressed this accusation here and . It's easy to see that my accusations holds water -- as opposed to my accusers' accusations -- they constantly meddle into Azerbaijan-related pages, despite not knowing much about the subjects and not discussing any changed on the Talk pages, such as the case with Artaxiad (Nareklm).

I can go on and on about the transgressions, violations and insults of my accusers. However, it does not do much good, as the intentions and contributions of mine vs. those who accuse me are open and visible, and it's easy to see whose contributions are mostly facts, and whose are mostly finger-pointings.

Yet let me finalize on Aivazovsky's ironic khachkar recollection, which he for some reason put under Original Research category, whilst its clearly not, as its verifiable and was not interpreted in any way. Aivazovsky was adamant to include, in the main Nakhichevan (Naxcivan) article, stories of khachkar destruction allegedly in Naxcivan and allegedly by Azerbaijanis. To this, I've included a story from Hetq about Armenians' destroying their own khachkars and cultural heritage -- and since the Hetq story compares this to khachkar (cross-stones or head-stones, common to Armenians and Caucasian Albanians of the region) destruction in Naxcivan, it was relevant. Aivazovsky, as he admits, initially agreed, but later reversed his decision (which he often does, including on that page about Naxcivan, an interesting flip-flop, which makes discussions and agreements with him nearly impossible, as he self-admittingly reverses his promises easily).

What is interesting, there are more admissions of khachkars being destroyed by Armenians themselves, especially around their capital of Yerevan -- for example, at this specialized khachkar website -

"Endangered Khachkars in Armenia and Artsakh It is particularly tragic that khachkars are also endangered in Armenia and Artsakh. They are disappearing, being damaged or moved. Most endangered are the old khachkar fields located near today’s graveyards, where khachkars are being eradicated for the creation of new burial space. The “crown of thorns” belongs to the khachkar field in Arinch near Yerevan. The situation is threatening in Noratus as well, where new burials are encroaching upon the khachkar field from at least three sides. The old graveyard of Areni is in almost the same situation. The movement of khachkars voluntarily by different individuals is a widespread practice. In some cases this is done to allegedly create a new holy place, for example, the case of Karmir Dalakner of Gegharquniq region where the khachkar was brought from Karvachar. Another case of moved khachkars is due to the decoration of new offices and especially entertainment establishments, as for example in the Vank village in Karabakh. The third and the most condemning practice is when khachkars are merely disappearing to decorate individual yards and houses. Khachkars are being damaged also by believers, worshipers and casual visitors, who light candles on them or write their names on them or engage in rituals that are damaging the carvings." See gallery of photos here -

Moreover, the destruction of cultural heritage (or Cultural Genocide, as some Armenians dubbed it) in Armenia, like elsewhere, has reached dangerous proportions and led to many protests both in press and in streets -- , , , and

Hence, if the Armenian and pro-Armenian view on destruction of khachkars by allegedly Azerbaijanis and allegedly in Naxcivan is to be included in the main article about Naxcivan, then a contrarian view should be included too -- not just Azerbaijan's denial of wrongdoing by the government, but Armenians' own admission of breaking, destroying and otherwise mishandling their own khachkars.

• Admins thats grade A stalking right there. Artaxiad 12:03, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

No mention of your socks? User talk:158.59.89.27, User talk:158.59.89.27, User talk:70.108.130.75 Artaxiad 12:07, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Artaxiad (Nareklm), unlike you, "my" socks were never proven and cannot be, as that's not me -- in fact, since when did I start working for the Government of the State of Virginia, as one of the IPs shows? In fact, admin Khoikhoi admitted that there is no direct evidence and of course Check User revealed that I post only under my name, use no anons and socks -- which seems like your prerogative, as you got pretty good at it with user "Mikara" and IP anons. Meanwhile, the second IP is mine - and I've never concealed it, I've always posted under it and expressed bewilderment and amusement that posting under it would be used against me by some. I've discussed it at length on my Talk page and other pages. --AdilBaguirov 12:52, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I only reverted about 4 times on that sock, which I was warned the next time I do it I would be blocked so I stopped, and you live in Alexandria, Virgina If I'm not mistaken who else would it be? I never used anons to revert only "Mikara" which I apologized to admins. Artaxiad 12:37, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Edit warring and constant reverts by User:Fadix and User:Artaxiad (aka User:Nareklm)and others

There was edit warring by several users against my edits on at least 3 pages. Despite my edits being completely compliant with verifiability clause of Misplaced Pages's policy, as well as being from authoritative sources and in fact, in some cases, these bibliographic citations were supplied by unrelated third parties like user Ali Doostzadeh, nevertheless, they were constantly removed and supressed by the triumvirat (sometimes quattro- and penta-virat) of editors, against the evidence presented on each talk pages and even agreement to it by admins, such as Gobez on the Nagorno-Karabakh page.

1) Here's from the Tigranes the Great page, from which the comprehensively discussed (on Talk page), fully sourced and verifiable reference was constantly removed (by users TigranTheGreat, Eupator and Artaxiad) -

Ironically, on the Nakhichevan page, these editors inserted a reference from the Jewish Encyclopedia about Armenian and Jewish families transferred from that region to Persia, but in the article itself it also mentions that Tigranes the Great's family origin was Parthian ("When Vagharshak, brother of the Parthian king Mithridates I., and the founder of the Arshak dynasty, ascended the throne of Armenia 150 B.C.") -- which I pointed out twice in my edit summaries

2) Here's from the Nakhichevan page, from which my and other traditional references were removed (by users ROOB323, Eupator and Artaxiad) but ironically, agreed to by user Aivazovsky

3) Here's from the Nagorno-Karabakh page, from which my expanded demographics-census table (to include all known censuses and not start the date from arbitrary POV), despite being fully sourced, discussed and approved by such admins as Golbez and not reverted by other active admins such as Khoikhoi, is being removed by most notably Fadix - --AdilBaguirov 12:52, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Constant reverts by User:ROOB323

User ROOB323 is mostly doing reverts, on pages that he never discusses, such as here and here .

Harassment by User:Eupator

User Eupator initiated a campaign of harrassment against me (by posting my photos, articles, links to other information that was unrelated to any of the discussions) on several pages, including on my own Talk page, for which got a verbal warning from admin Khoikhoi to stop it. --AdilBaguirov 02:34, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Evidence presented by user:Dacy69

Personal attacks and Edit Revenge by user:Fadix and user:Fedayee

On page Armenian Revolutionary Federation I made edit based on the referenced information. I wanted add more sources and more information but the page got protected. Without much discussion user Fadix insulted me 2 times and threatened with edit revenge on other Wiki pages . User Fedayee also insulted me, in supporting Fadix claim . I filed 2 complaints about personal attacks but no measure has been taken except warning for 1st insults after which Fadix insulted a second time. I requested assistance on that dispute . No feedback thus far.

Edit War by user:Eupator and user:TigranTheGreat

On page Urartu I requested Assistance, got it and resolved my dispute. (We argued about a section of Ethnic Composition) But then my opponents (user:Eupator and user:TigranTheGreat) made another attempt to reintroduce their arguments and created another chapter (Urartu and Armenian Ethnogenesis) and for that purpose continued deleting my edits there.

Other pages

There are other pages which needs DR - Monte Melkonian, where I have requested third opinion and made mediation offer to user:Vartanm, and Armenians where user:ROOB323, user;Vartanm and user:Eupator made rv of well-known facts and reputable references.

Evidence presented by user:ROOB323

False Accusations, Blinde Reverts and Revange against Armenian related articles by User:Grandmaster

Like I said in the page I'll say it in this page also. User:Grandmaster doesn't even read what he is reverting as long as he sees that an Armenian user has added information he blindly removes it without even examining and reading the content just like in this article . I did some re-arrangements and spell checks and improved the article, but it was reverted back by User:Grandmaster without looking what he is reverting. This shows that User:Grandmaster reverts Armenian users edits without even reading the content that he is reverting. It is disrespectful when you put a lot of efforts to an article and someone comes and reverts it back to their own views, without even reading the content that they are reverting. Also, User:Grandmaster accused me of coordination with banned user by saying "coordination of your rv activty with banned user" but he doesn't even have a prove of his false accusations towards me. Furthermore, User:Grandmaster is now using a new strategy against Armenian related articles by listing them for deletion without giving and solid reasons only stating it is POW and should be deleted and all the other Azeri users supporting him . Since that article was created by an Armenian user he wans it deleted in revange of this Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict.

False Accusations and Misplaced Pages Rule Violation by User:AdilBaguirov

User:AdilBaguirov sometimes tried to force his views with telling lies that his version is "discussed version with compromise wording reverting it is not the option" , but if you look at the discussion page, there was still no compormoise. He tries to achive his goals by pressuring other users to accept their points of view. Furthermore, User:AdilBaguirov in this page violated the 3RR , and and accused me of vandalising the page, and , just because his views did not match with the viwes of mine and I was only reverting to an older version which was there before until a comprimise could be made.

Blinde Reverts and Cordination of his Reverts with Azeri users against Armenian users by User:Atabek

User:Atabek also does blinde reverts with his friend User:Grandmaster without paying attention of the content he is reverting this shows that this two users cordinate their edits together and revert anything back that was added by an Armenian user.

Evidence presented by user:Fadix

I request from the Arbitrators to wait until a significant part of my evidences are presented so that they start deliberating. There is just too much, new evidences are comming on the organization by some members too.

The edit warring was stopped by an administrator by locking the article. . This was what user:Golbez had to say about it.

Conclusion

So on... The articles user:AdilBaguirov touched were closed one after the other. I have searched in previous arbitration cases to find a user who had such a correlation between him editing an article and it, as a consequence, being locked. My search in previous rulings didn’t give any results if I exclude vandals.

December 10, 2006 AdilBaguirov back from vacation, edit warring resume

On that date he starts back from where he left.

First article he touch after his vacation, result: LOCKED

Urartu, he starts edit warring , . The edit war two days later ended up with the article being locked. The last lock before that was on May 26, 2005 which was because a banned user was edit warring.

Second article he touch after his vacation, result: LOCKED

Armenia , , locked two days later. . But being honest, this time he shared the blame.

Third article he touch after his vacation, result: LOCKED

Mammed Amin Rasulzade, AdilBaguirov started contributing on January 24, 2007, , , , , , , , , , . To stop the edit war, the article was locked. This article was never locked before.

Fourth article he touch after his vacation, result: LOCKED

Azerbaijan , , , , . The article got locked.

And so on and on, result: LOCKED

And so on. It is at this point needless to say that near all articles AdilBaguirov started editing were soon locked as a result. But I will restrict here some example from the articles he has locked before he took his vacation and later what happened to them when he came back of his vacation. Nakhichevan, AdilBaguirov contribute on January 27, 2007 , , , , , . The article gets locked the same day.

He touch Stepanakert , , , , , , , , , , , , , . The article get locked. The last time before that the article was locked was May 26, 2005.

I will be skipping many articles which were locked, if the Arbcom needs further example to justify my position that only this alone should be enough to indefinitely block AdilBaguirov I will furnish them. And this is one the first part of my evidence.

Another case is Nagorno Karabakh article; hard reached concessions brought some peace to the article until AdilBaguirov decided to contribute back. , , , , . The article gets locked. for a week. AdilBaguirov continue later against the consensus version which took months to reach. , , . The article got locked again.

Again, again and again. LOCKED, LOCKED and LOCKED!!! Other examples necessary???

I will not start drawing regression curve, for R and R2, on the correlation between AdilBaguirov presence and the closure of an article, neither the causality, but suffice to say that when AdilBaguirov touch an articles namespace there is at least 50% chances that the article will get locked as a consequence!!!

Note on Golbez comment on the conflict situation: The reason why the conflict seemed to calm down was not only because it spread, but also because AdilBaguirov took a vacation, when he left there was some fragile peace. He later brought with him Dacy69 and Atabek. This part will be covered in the second part of my evidence.

Evidence presented by User:Golbez

I only have this old diff from July 2006, the background of which was already mentioned in Fadix's evidence: . It contains a log of reverts (unfortunately not linked) while I was away from the article, leaving it without a real moderator for a few days. I considered Adil and Grandmaster the primary issues then, though in my experience since, Grandmaster seems to have tempered a bit. Adil has not. I suggested arbitration seven months ago to get him to stop editing the article, but things seemed to calm down. It would appear the conflict simply spread to other articles that I was not involved in. --Golbez 12:09, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

• I would like to highlight here that barrage of accusations brought up against User:AdilBaguirov ignores a simple fact, any edit warring by definition has two sides not a single side of the conflict. The objective of this barrage concentration on this particular user is clear. User:AdilBaguirov made the most cited and sourced contributions, in particular at Talk:Nagorno-Karabakh, we have all witnessed User:Fadix trying very hard to remove the well sourced table at ] presenting percentage of Armenians and Azerbaijanis residing in the region for the last two centuries, including Armenian sources. It's interesting to note that User:Golbez was actually reverting the page from User:Fadix and not from User:AdilBaguirov indicating that there is an edit war ]. While, the comment ] clearly shows that User:AdilBaguirov was cooperating with User:Golbez. Also User:Golbez's recent revert of ] removing a small but important link in reference section, raises some eyebrows about NPOV in this regard. Khojaly Massacre committed in 1992 in Nagorno-Karabakh has a direct relationship to the Nagorno-Karabakh topic, as it was committed in the course of communal warfare, which defined NK. This would sound rather similar to removing a reference to Auschwitz from a Nazi page as an irrelevant reference. Atabek 18:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
