I reverted insertion of picture which claimed that it was showing Azerbaijani soldiers of SS, while in fact it were "Muslim volunteers in German army in Berlin" [1] --Grandmaster 11:57, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I reverted a sock of the banned user. Banned users are not entitled to edit Wikipedia. --Grandmaster 06:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed move to Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic

It seems that given that the formal name for this nation was "Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic", the soviet prefix abbreviation (-"SSR") shouldn't be in the full article name. Therefore, I propose to move the article to its full form, Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic. We wouldn't have an article about North Korea titled "DPRK", would we? --Micahbrwn (talk) 09:52, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

The move makes sense, but should be synchronized with the titles of the other 14 articles about Soviet republics. If we move one, we need to move them all. Grandmaster (talk) 12:48, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Please discuss this multimove here --Lox (t,c) 11:47, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Soviet-woman-veil.jpg

Image:Soviet-woman-veil.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Azerbaijan/Azerbaidzhan?

Obviously, "Azerbaijan" is the correct transcription now (and should have been then), but during the Soviet period the usual spelling in English-language sources was the transliteration from the Cyrillic, "Azerbaidzhan". Should this article not therefore use the spelling "Azerbaidzhan" with reference to the S.S.R., so as not to be anachronistic? RandomCritic (talk) 01:50, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sumgait pogrom

The death toll is likely to be much higher than the figures stated in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.152.178.95 (talk) 13:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
