message: Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory.  This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.  B2T2 15:07, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I think we would benefit from reaching out to other branches of the academic and Armenian community instead of hoping they stumble upon us by accident and decide to contribute (like in my case). I propose reaching out to Armenians because they will be highly motivated, having a personal interest in the project. I suggest reaching out to the academic community so that we can benefit from a rigourous, academic level peer review of our work and to benefit from HIGHLY knowledgable contributors and scholars. Objectivity, credibility, and unimpeachability are important objective to attain. I have already spread a few bread crumbs around at the Myspace forums. Gregkar 19:44, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Fishy? Outreach cannot hurt or am I missing the obvious? Why Myspace? Only because it happens to be a central location for English speaking people of Armenian descent. A good many of the people there are students at CSUN, UCLA, UCSB, UCSD, and UCR. I don't suggest that as the exclusive recruiting ground, only as one of potentially hundreds.

text: I'm not sure if Myspace is the best recruiting ground for potential motivated editors. -- Augustgrahl 20:40, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I concur. Read my reply to Eupator supra. Myspace is not necessarily the happy hunting ground for academics, but there are a good many Armenian-Americans students there. It doesn't have to be perfect. It only has to be progress. There are enough people already ensconced here who can do clean up and editorial work if we have a good crew of workers who can generate the raw work product in the first place. And finally, it couldn't hurt to do some soft advertisement of Armenian culture and our cause among non-Armenians. The more awareness there is, the more people will put a "human face" on the word "Armenian;" ergo, the greater the likelyhood that genocide recognition will reach political critical mass and start move as an agenda in the world community. But I digress. I don't wish to steer the conversation off topic. My main objective is to identify and recruit people who can flesh our the articles that need to be created for the project.

replies: text: Are we both looking at the same flag?  The SA Encyclopedia version looks just like the SVG version (of course, the scanned flag looks a bit darker and grainy - but that's expected from a scan).  The consistency of using SVG flags is something that Wikipedia has been long-striving to achieve (almost all flags on Wikipedia are now in SVG format and if not PNG format).  I really don't see how SVG flags "forge realism."  The grapes on the coat of arms from the SA Encyclopedia are shown in the same color as the grain and the hammer and sickle are (that is they're all supposed to be gold).  This is accurately represented on the PNG CoA which is currently in use. -- Clevelander 00:14, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The "darkness" of the uploaded flag is not a byproduct of a poor quality scanning;it is the true color of the Soviet Armenian flag - Communism heavily emphasized the color red and all but it wasn't such a bright red like the SVG file but a mixture of red and more pronounced, orange hue. I'm willing to let all this subside but I can easily change the formats to .png extensions but its one thing whenever the official encyclopedia shows something different to what's being used here.--MarshallBagramyan 05:02, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If it's the tone of the current Armenian SSR flag that's the issue, then that can be changed.  In fact, I'd be more than happy to fix the color myself later today (I'll admit, the red is a bit bright).  Kindest regards, Clevelander 09:25, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors.

message: I would like to ask for any help in tracking down sources documenting the identification of the Armenian mythical figure Hayk with the Greek mythical figure Orion per the interpretatio graeca.
The more scholarly sources on the subject seem to point most directly to the Old Armenian Bible's translation of "Orion" for the constellation, and give the similarity between the god Orion and the god Hayk as the reason for this translation.  There is a suggestion that this reflects a broader identification, but little detail on this point.  See this site and also pg. 32 of Hackiyan's The Heritage of Armenian Literature (available in limited preview on Google Books): By virtue of his being a valiant prince of fine stature "strong and accurate in drawing the bow," and "a skillful archer," Hayak became a couunterpart of the Greek Orion, perhaps because, like Orion, Hayk has fine features and was a night hunter.  No ancient records documenting Hayk's apotheosis into a constellation survive, but in two instances in the Greek Bible that mention Orion, the fifth-century Armenian translators have replaced Orion with Hayk.

One Turk simply questioned it, and the very same day another user immediately removed it without any discussion.

It's amazing to me, and I hope some of you are actually around to vouch for the site, as these folks don't seem to have actually even visited the site, or really care if it's of any value, instead asking irrelevant questions like, "what if there was a Turkopedia, would we include that??".

message: Discussion at Talk:Alan Hovhaness has indicated that the ethnicity of Armenian and Armenian-Americans is being added or deleted from the lead sections of the subjects articles against policy found at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)#Opening paragraph (WP:MOSBIO):
*"Ethnicity should generally not be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability."
Ethnicity has been added to lead sections without demonstration of relevance, indicating either a pro-Armenian agenda or an unfamiliarity with policy and pracice. Worse yet, ethnicity has been removed from articles entirely, not simply moved from the lead to the body of the article, indicating an anti-Armenian agenda.

For Alan Hovhaness, it's central to his life's work, whereas for Eric Bogosian it's not. For Atom Egoyan, it's somewhere in between. This should be evaluated by editors on a case-by-case basis, not on an "enforcer" basis as has been going on with the blanket removals (and refusal by such "enforcers" to consider discussion from editors skilled in the respective fields of those articles).

A guideline is not written in stone, so it is up to the, hopefully good, judgement of the individual editor. I think you will always have people inserting it for their own reasons and other people deleting for being "against the rules".

message: As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level.  The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
*The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.  
*The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.  
*A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.  
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at :Category:C-Class_articles.  If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages.  The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles. 
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme.

The Armenian censuses use Քաղաքներ=town and Գյուղեր=village. I could imagine someone arguing, however, that the more natural English translations would be Քաղաքներ=city and Գյուղեր=town.

You can see this for yourself in the PDFs. I think this may explain the 952 and 953 figures.

thread_title:  Need original Armenian text from constitution 

message: Here's what I've been able to decipher. Please correct anything that seems wrong:
*Bnakavayrer (բնակավայրեր), sing. bnakavayr (բնակավայր) - translated as either "residential area" or "settlement". Kaghakner/towns and gyugher/villages are two types of bnakavayrer/settlements.
*Hamaynkner (համայնքներ), sing. hamaynk (համայնք) - usually translated as "community", occassionally translated as "district". When used in Armenian statistics seems to equate to municipality, i.e. a self-governing settlement or group of settlements. All hamaynkner/communities consist of one or more bnakavayrer/settlements according to the Armenian constitution. A hamaynk/community is the typical unit of government below a marz/province. Hamaynkner/communities are classified as either urban or rural. Yerevan has the status of a hamaynk.
*Kaghakner (քաղաքներ), sing. kaghak (քաղաք) - usually translated as "town", sometimes translated as "city". A kaghak is a type of bnakavayr/settlement.
*Gyugher (գյուղեր), sing. gyugh (գյուղ) - translated consistently as "village". One or more gyugher/villages can combine to form a single hamaynk/community. Thus not all villages are communities, but all villages are part of a community. A gyugh is a type of bnakavayr/settlement.

text: *A new law, "On Local Selfgovernment and Territorial Management in Yerevan" ("О местном самоуправлении и территориальном управлении в Ереване") passed first reading in December 2007 and is now awaiting second and third readings in Parliament. As far as I understand from news reports (in Russian), according to this law Yerevan will lose its current "marz" status and will become a municipality (i.e, a "community"). Today Yerevan is divided into 12 "communities" (boroughs, "quarter communities") and elections for community mayor are held in each of the 12 communities separately (see here ). This process somehow leads (or will lead according to the new law) to the creation of a "Council of Elders" for Yerevan, which elects (will elect) the mayor of the city (see here). It seems that the purpose of the law is to make the status of Yerevan consistent with the Constitution (as quoted above). The wording used for Yerevan by Kaldari in Armenia#Administrative division is fully adequate given the current state of information and should be kept until after the adoption of the new law. --Zlerman (talk) 02:27, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Based on a search of Wikipedia's articles related to Armenia, I've found some articles that I believe are about places in Armenia, and could usefully have geographical coordinates added.
The articles in question are listed in :Category:Armenia articles missing geocoordinate data.  At the time of writing, some examples included:
# Bagrevand
# Daranali
# Dariunq
# Hanzith
# Khachkar
# Maku (Armenia)
# Shushi (province)
...and there are many more, as well. At the time of posting this notice, there were 95 articles in this category needing geographical coordinates.
=== Why add coordinates? ===
By adding coordinates, a Wikipedia reader can easily view the location on a street map, nautical chart, topographic map, by satellite photo, realtime weather map, and in many other ways. Coordinate data makes an article eventually appear in various services such as Google Maps' Wikipedia overlay, Google Earth, and Wikipedia's own internal map service.  Coordinate data also helps readers looking for geographically-based data, such as locations near a reference point, or related information.
=== How can I do it? ===
The articles are all marked with  tags, which need to be replaced with  tags that contain the location's latitude/longitude coordinates; or you might be able to add coordinates to an existing infobox. You can find out how to do this at the Wikipedia:Geocoding how-to for WikiProject members.

message: Could somebody take a look at the recent anonymous edits to Armenians?  Two IP editors are changing Armenian population figures, I don't know who's right.  Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 21:42, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello! The article on the Roman–Parthian War of 58–63 over Armenia was just brought to A-class status. I would like for it to eventually get to FA level, but am concerned that it presents a too Roman-centric view. If anyone is interested to provide additional information from an Armenian perspective, it would be most welcome. Regards, Constantine   ✍  19:42, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
