[edit] Middle Eastern theatre of World War I

Please see Talk:Middle Eastern theatre of World War I#Rename? --Philip Baird Shearer 10:33, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1917 - All is Quiet - (General Yudenich)

"The new government removed the Grand Duke from his command and reassigned General Yudenich to a meaningless position in central Asia (he then retired from the army)."

Excuse me, could you name that "meaningless position in central Asia"? As I know, Yudenich refused to start new offensive in the Caucasus and was fired by the Provisional Govenrment. RamBow 22:49, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is this a personal attack??

I do not get what is going on with this page.. The editorials are become personal and one user makes editorial changes based on "I am switiching to this version by Khoikoi because Ottoman Reference did not provide sources and wrote up god knows what" Could someone help me to understand the logic behind these??? Thanks. --OttomanReference 03:10, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

By the way; I was just wondering the deleted section. The sections deleted do not even belong to me. If you look at the history of the article you can recognize that the text was in the article before my first edit... this version. I wish I was the guy who wrote those sentences than I could claim "god knows what" Wierd... --OttomanReference 03:32, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mistake

This article is faulty in that the Iranian frontier consisted of basically western and northern Iran, not only up to Tabriz. See: Persian Campaign.Hajji Piruz 14:08, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The total redesign by a banned user

Hajji Piruz pointed out a problem that is reflected through out the article and its subsets. User user:Hetoum I is the banned user user:Hetoum. Either not really knowing the military terms and military history, s/he tries to turn this campaign into a front. Front is composed of campaigns and turning a battle and its military operations (sub-conflicts or coordinated battles into a military campaign) see her/his beginning edits move the century old battle into a campaign against a city.. He renames the articles using Russian terminology and not wikipedia naming rules. It is also true that he does not really understand why there is a Persian Campaign and tries to turn this campaign and its military operations part of "Caucasus Campaign". Most of the changes s/he performs are basic historical revisionism. I have had many problems with this user in the past. He does not listen, and he does not accept other views. he gets his resources from political propaganda sources, and tries to back them with citations from websites. What he is doing is wrong, but I do not see anyway to deal with him. Thanks. --OttomanReference 17:21, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Hetoum is not banned. Hetoum I is on vacation. OttomanReference you're in violation of WP:NPA, comment on the article not the contributor. --VartanM 17:27, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your response, I did not personally attach the user in line of WP:NPA. AS stated redefining "Caucasus Campaign" is the argument here, not him/her and it is a major issue. It is just not one article but all the battles are redefined. I was simply stating a fact that historically established facts are constantly modified by this user, such as presenting an operation against a city into a Campaign. And hope you as a user who claim that you have an WP:NPA, would understand the size of the problem. I personalty quit trying to present citations to this user. Thanks--OttomanReference 18:42, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

As I stated with the first message; I personally not going to take on this issue because of the given reasons. I wanted to remind you that ""there is no dialog between him/her and me"" and I'm not trying to establish one :-)). For the other argument I was simply pointing to check this. Thanks --OttomanReference 18:56, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Calling him banned user while he was never blocked,[1] [2] questioning his knowledge about military history, calling his edits historical revisionism, their all personal attacks. I'm not saying these to defend him, I just want you to understand the wikipedia rules. --VartanM 03:43, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Russianeda.JPG

Image:Russianeda.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
