Regarding Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Jaqeli. Jaqeli has not edited since 24 January, so it's unlikely they will respond to the complaint. Also I notice that you have made only one post to his talk page in the last six months. This may suggest that the possibiities of normal discussion have not been exhausted. Shall I just close this for now? Then if you see that Jaqeli starts to edit again, you can let me know and we can decide what to do then. Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 18:33, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Vladimir Putin. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
3 reverts in just a couple of hours. Yes I know not technically a 3RR violation. But hey! Didn't you recently report someone for similar? Volunteer Marek ( talk) 06:38, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
No, there was no "tag teaming". You could easily single out a lot of other editors, X and Y, who are active in the same subject area for years and happened to agree on something. Yes, I occasionally check edits made by many contributors, including VM. It does not mean I "wikistalk" them or "tag team" with them. I frequently disagree with them (can provide diffs), and if I make an edit, this is my edit. I know the subject, checked the sources, and think this is good edit. No one recently complained. My very best wishes ( talk) 13:29, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
You and User:My very best wishes seem to be in a dispute. He made this recent edit, which you reverted. While this material about cluster bombs is well-sourced, it is up to editor consensus whether it belongs in Putin's own article. Have you discussed this on the talk page? I am considering if the article should be under a WP:1RR restriction or full protection. Another option is to issue page bans to anyone who reverts a lot and doesn't seem to be actively seeking consensus. Thank you, EdJohnston ( talk) 17:12, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
Hallo Etienne, I need a favour from you. ;-) On itwiki I added on the article about Kinaliada the fact, supported by this Turkish official source, that the island has since the 19th century a predominantly Armenian population. Talking about OR, I know the island, and actually when we were there we met several Armenians, had dinner at an Armenian club and visited an Armenian church, and so on. Now there is a Turkish editor who affirms that it is not so anymore, and that nowadays the island is "Turkish" as the others. Do you have info (and sources) about this issue? Thanks Alex2006 ( talk) 10:51, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi EtienneDolet,

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Vladimir Putin". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 11 March 2016.
Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Hi Étienne (and pinging User:Adam Cuerden). I've only just now seen Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Dydd Gŵyl Dewi, which closed this morning – which is a pity as I can offer an answer to some of your questions. The photo is, in my opinion, a good illustration of the main St David's Day parade in Cardiff and as such has EV. It does relate to St David's Day more than to any other Welsh event; the druidic costumes for the National Eisteddfod of Wales are a little different from this, with long white, blue, purple or green robes; see e.g. here or here. Parades like the ones in Cardiff and Aberystwyth aren't the only way St David's Day is celebrated – schools hold an eisteddfod on the day – but they are the most public. Very sorry not to have spotted this as Category:Featured pictures of Wales is looking very empty! Ham II ( talk) 08:21, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Just for the record, if you check this editor that just recently reverted me on this issue, he was the one that right when he removed the date of Armenian history, he immediately went to the Jewish people article and changed their history to 1000 years older then what was previously on the article, which is to 2000 BC.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. 109.108.250.225 ( talk) 23:42, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Firstly, we don't question our sources. As for your "Kars-related concerns" (as I know it's because of that); it purely depends on whether Kars is included in the definition or not, whether all or most of eastern Armenia was ceded in 1828. Kars can be considered both part of Western as well as Eastern Armenia. "Portion" is a nonsensical term regarding this matter and no academic or historian has ever used the the formulation "a portion of eastern Armenia" (or anything alike) to refer to the 1828 event. What portion? 10%? 20%? 90%? 80%? 33,3%? The lesser or the greater portion? "Almost all" or "most of" are the sole correct wordings here given that only Kars fell outside the Qajar reach. Mind you though, a lot of academics simply keep it on the entire territory of eastern Armenia that was ceded in 1828. - LouisAragon ( talk) 18:47, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Since I did not wish to clog up the Arbcom with off topic matter;
If my exceedingly poor understanding of Turkish is correct, Ayse does not say "Armenian Genocide", but "relocation event". Ergo, the sentence as it stands right now is factually incorrect, since Ayse does not say Armenian Genocide. It is all a matter of perspective.
What would be better, IMO;

Thanks for uploading File:Damadian MRI.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nthep ( talk) 16:25, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

It says "Erivanskaya Guberniya" Yerevan governorate thus Igdir was not a governorate then, the census is about city center. Cheers. Beshogur ( talk) 18:52, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

This comment violates both WP:NOTAFORUM and WP:BLP. It links to an unreliable source and even that is cut and cherry picked. It concerns a trivial slip up.

Hi, Etienne. Your arbitration enforcement request has been closed with no action. [4] Thank you for voluntarily abstaining from participation at WP:AE for six months (other than filings where you're a named party). Bishonen | talk 21:46, 2 January 2017 (UTC).
Hi, I have a small sample (I loaded a full size, but the site reduced it) here [5]. Part of the field was removed (but the essential was kept), because the picture was too much emphasizing on it. The image received several modifications
See the problem with pictures in general, is that it goes against the spirit of free editing, because those who have expensive camera's would take better pictures, and they will be less prone therefor to have failures of the kind shown here.
True free editing would require to obtain the same results no matter which camera (even regardless of the resolution) one uses.
Take a small picture, increase its size, then add a filter like oil painting. No matter the initial resolution, if there is a size of the strokes (for oil painting filter), it is that which sets the end result (and resolution). The same goes with adding noises.
Each camera reproduce colors in an unique (and biased) way. Here is where glazing comes in... traditional paint pigments have their equivalent color values (example, #E30022 for cadmium red). If we glaze elements in the picture with their closest traditional pigment values, we assure that no matter the camera, the colors will be similar.
Of course we run at risk of having different labs setting different values, and here is where lowering the brightness of the pictures comes in. Color variations are less perceivable at lower intensity.
There are other biases, such as lens aberrations and sizing of pictures which are all prone to material bias. There is a solution with this too, by using size constants like closest to a Fibonacci number etc.
If you like that picture, I will be loading the full size. But I advice against it, because I have not yet finished developing the standardized method (but close to it).
My plan was to start with every Armenian related pictures (and texts also, but using same strategies).
Any manipulation techniques developed would be developed AND will be running on minimal hardware, that is, an embedded system with ARM architecture. Any new projects survives because of its supporters, it does not take a genius to understand why Armenians (ARM) will associate themselves with ARM embedded systems :). Anything which is developed in those systems can be developed anywhere with minimal resources.
Here lies my interest with Armenian articles. Yaḥyā ( talk) 02:54, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

As you well know this was discussed extensively last year. You tried to remove it then because... I don't remember. Regardless, you waited till people stopped paying attention to the article, came back and stealthily removed the info against consensus. I have restored it. Your reasoning this time appears to be that "it's outdated". Forgive me if I don't buy that. You wanted it removed last year. You want to remove it now.
If you do wish to remove the material, which is long standing and which had consensus in discussion, please start a new discussion on the talk page and get new consensus. Otherwise you're behaving disruptively.
Of course you know all of this.
If there is new data (can you provide a link?) then you can add it. But the economic decline in 2015 is *still* relevant for geopolitical reasons - the sanctions are still in place, the conflict in eastern Ukraine is still there, and these economic outcomes were a direct result of Putin's foreign policy. So yeah, it still needs to be there. Volunteer Marek ( talk) 02:31, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.
A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.
General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jean Althen, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Armenian. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You can not dismiss a source solely because you disagree with its conclusion. His position regarding those events are those of a strategist (he was heading the Research and Analysis Branch of the Office of Strategic Services during WWII). He is therefore mostly interested in the strategies used by Armenian revolutionary groups. Did elements in those groups use those strategies? Obviously YES! Is it the whole story? Of course not, humans are just more complex than using entirely preplanned mechanical strategies.
To have an accurate representation of an event, the four representations of Cognitive functions have to be taken into consideration (Those were first explicitly referenced by Carl Jung, but they existed in a form or another for ages, prior to all those modern know-it-all academics):
It takes 5 minutes to read the biography of any given author, draw the personality profile (from the above) and from it guess the thesis that person would be defending in any given subject (à priori bias)!
Authors are like individual colors, they represent saturated colors (bias), they’re not the painting which represents the whole masterpiece. Academics can never be neutral, because they have a position to defend, unlike the simpleton who is the only viewing the world like it is, without using any glasses biasing his view.
Ideally each authors have to be identified according to their cognitive functions so that the editor knows that he has to provide coverage for each functions. Thinking is the one which takes most resources, because it is fed by institutions. For this reason people tend to believe (wrongly) it’s the most important.
Are there paintings, music, cultural artifacts which depicts the event, oral stories ? If not… thinking is overrepresented… there should NOT BE any article on the subject ! If an event was worth mentioning… the entirety of human existence should document it, not only institutional artifacts which entirely rely on material resources to ensure their existence and can all be fabricated.
There is nothing new in what I am writing. It’s like guessing the depiction of events by each evangelists in the Christian Bible based on the icons they represents (winged man, winged lion, winged ox/bull, eagle), and the attached bias of each icons (based on the meaning behind each symbol). For anyone who knows at least a little on this, he will predict easily why an event is depicted by one evangelist and not another (the scripts had just to choose one of each element to compose a Bible). Either four representations of an event are presented (like the Bible) or less details, more abstract words (allowing wider interpretation) are used (like the Quran).
I apologize to write this in your talk-page, in personal talk-pages I can not be accused of WP:OR or any similar things for simply presenting the obvious truth (of the idiot). Yaḥyā ( talk) 16:22, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
I suggest you talk to the blocking administrator and ask how they determined it was a proxy (I assume they mean an anonymous open proxy but can't be sure). AFAIK, the ultimate question you have is unanswerable except by the provider itself.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 14:44, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Also, your edit summary is ... umm... "misleading". You did not "keep" some of it, you pretty much performed a blind revert.

.. but I always hesitate in particular to block a user without a previous block log. If it wasn't for that, you'd now be blocked for linking without warning to a horrible video, which I'm not going to link here, see this discussion. Your casual and callous non-apologies don't impress. (" Didn't think that sharing another similar video would cause much grief. Come to think of it, I should of at least warned users before they clicked on it. My bad y'all" " However, as I have mentioned earlier, I should've warned users before they clicked on it even though there's no policy in that regard"). Please think before you link, and then think before you speak. Don't be in a hurry. Bishonen | talk 16:56, 27 May 2017 (UTC).
