November 2011[edit]

This is your only warning; if you add an inappropriate image to Wikipedia again, as you did at Eduardo Iturralde González, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to Armenia-Azerbaijan and related conflicts. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in further inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read in the Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan 2#Final decision section of the decision page.

Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page.

July 2012[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to List of Azerbaijanis, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place "{{helpme}}" on your talk page and someone will drop by to help.
The following is the log entry regarding this warning: List of Azerbaijanis was changed by Rs4815 (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.919659 on 2012-07-05T08:52:00+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 08:52, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Karabakh[edit]

Hi Rs4815, I happened to notice that another editor has reverted your last edits to the Karabakh article ([1] and [2]). They didn't give any explanation for the revert ([3]), and did it in a way that you wouldn't be notified. I thought you might like to know. I don't really have any knowledge about the subject, but I did read the source you added. If what you said in your edit summary is true, then it seems to me it's something that should at least be discussed on the talk page, in order to determine how to present the conflicting citations and population figures. I wouldn't advise just reverting it again - the citation of Cornell is to a 2001 Routledge-published book so the presumption is that it's reliable, and there would need to be some discussion about just removing it altogether. According to WP:NPOV, we should try to explain all significant published viewpoints. Anyway, I'll leave it up to you to decide if you want to do anything about it or not... --IamNotU (talk) 17:07, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

IamNotU this guy continues to engage in vandalism (and POV-pushing based on original researches) in articles (look at his edit history). I think we need to contact the administration for sanctions. Unfortunately my English is not as good to do it by myself --Rs4815 (talk) 20:55, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you decided to revert again, rather than discussing it on the talk page as I advised, so I'll advise you again to do so! A new section has already been started. There's some talk about "vandalism" that I'd suggest that you just try to ignore, avoid using the word "vandalism" etc. yourself, and focus on the content issues, though I can understand that's not always easy. See WP:ATWV. If you're not able to find some consensus about it on the talk page, you can follow one of the options in WP:DISPUTE resolution. It's possible that administrative sanctions might be required at some point, but that can't happen before you at least make an attempt to discuss the issues on the talk page. Thanks for your understanding... --IamNotU (talk) 23:32, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

October 2019[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. MrUnoDosTres (talk) 21:15, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is you, who going to be blocked my friend, for vandalism and falsifications (like here) MrUnoDosTres. --Rs4815 (talk) 21:18, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are the one heavily pushing an agenda here. You seem to delete any sources you personally don't like because they don't fit your POV. And falsely claim that "they aren't reliable" without providing an alternative source. Or providing proof. Like how you changed the figure from 8.4% to 34.8% in the Karabakh article without providing an alternative source. Yes it's true that in 1832 the Armenian population was 34.8%, but the first sentence is talking about 1823, that's a difference of 9 years. So changing it to 34.8% is wrong. Besides that in the same paragraph that figure is also mentioned: "Russia's population policy changed the figures, and therefore, Armenian population formed 35% of the population in 1832". So you're vandalizing the article, because you apparently don't like what the article says. MrUnoDosTres (talk) 21:28, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'd ask that both of you stop talking about "vandalism" and try to focus on the factual issues and questions about the content, and the contradictory sources. Please do so on the article's talk page, thanks! --IamNotU (talk) 23:40, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Iranian Azerbaijan[edit]

Hi Rs4815, I would refer to either one of the below references about lands that considers part of Iranian Azerbaijan. The reference that you are citing (Britanica) is a general dictionary and probably have no say in detailed political geography of part of Iran. So if possible please stop reverting the article and changing it without discussion in discussion page of article. There is a section in discussion page about this. Thank you.

September 2022[edit]

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Parthian Empire, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. HistoryofIran (talk) 17:07, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

HistoryofIran, now provide me with an authoritative source that Armenia was part of the Parthian state in 94 BC. The map is obviously misleading. Even during the time of the Armenian Arsacids, Armenia was a separate state from Parthia. --Rs4815 (talk) 18:00, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to read Mithridates II of Parthia as you've already been told. Everything listed in the map is sourced, you would know that if you clicked on it [4]. --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:04, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you understand the difference between a tributary (vassal if you want) kingdom and a province. In your map, Armenia is shown as a territory of Parthia, no different from Empire's provinces, which is fundamentally wrong. The same king Tigranes II was independent enough to annex Sophene in 94 BC. For example, in this map of the Roman Empire of 117 AD, Armenia is indicated as part of Rome, because Emperor Trajan conquered and made it a province of Rome, Mithridates II never conquered Armenia, but only made the Armenian king his tributary. --Rs4815 (talk) 18:20, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it is not the same as the other provinces. Look at the map again, the name of the ruler is listed there. If you want it to be more detailed, feel free to do the work yourself instead of removing a valuable map. Also, per Mithridates VI and the Pontic Kingdom (starts from page 168), Tigranes was acting as a Parthian vassal during his conquest of Sophene, etc. --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:27, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"feel free to do the work yourself", It's not me who defends the correctness of the map and the need to use it in the article. It's not me who calls the map "valuable". If you consider this map indispensable (in which I disagree with you, since there is a map for example of the period of Mithridates I, or for 1 AD), then please edit it by adding the borders of Armenia (and also preferably Iberia and Albania) by coloring them in a different color (or shade) so that it is clear that Armenia wasn't an ordinary province of Parthia. In the meantime, the description of the map should be changed in the article to - "Parthia and its dependent kingdoms in 94 BC." --Rs4815 (talk) 19:00, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How convenient that you suggest a map that doesn't include Armenia. There is nothing wrong with the map though, and with your logic we should remove a lot (if not the vast majority) of maps in Wikipedia, e.g. Seljuk Empire, Khwarazmian Empire, Ilkhanate etc. I disagree with the caption (writing 'map of x' is completely normal), and edit the map yourself. --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:05, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Mushegh I Mamikonian. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

HistoryofIran I have a better idea: maybe you'll start basing your edits on Armenian history articles on reliable sources rather than random maps downloaded from the internet. I add authoritative sources to the article, you remove them and come up with made up naratives. --Rs4815 (talk) 18:15, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please follow your own advise first, Mushegh was not mentioned in the source, and you omitted the bit where it said "briefly", so I fail to see how I am the one making up "narratives". It can't be right that GA and even FA have to suffer in quality because you want to overemphasize random information about the extent of Armenia. I'm just one of three veteran editors who have reverted you for this, so it's clearly not just me. If you want to add information about the extent of the Late antiquity Armenian kingdom, please do it at Kingdom of Armenia (antiquity).

Also, please see how other GA/FA articles are written. Hewsen is a good source, but the way you added it did not improve the article. Compare it to how Revolution Saga did it [5]. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:37, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
