message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

message: ...are not a reliable source.  We go by what reliable sources say and nothing more.  The reliable sources say the province is majority Kurdish. Athenean (talk) 05:26, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, It gives you an idea. The population consist of both peoples. Beshogur (talk) 11:28, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the article currently mentions there are Azerbaijanis.  But the reliable sources point to a Kurdish majority.  As did even the election results.  HDP won Igdir. Athenean (talk) 00:23, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree election results are not reliable. People generally do not vote according to their ethnic identity. Moreover HDP won the elections right but one of the candidate from HDP was Azeri as far I remember.--Abbatai 10:24, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  the Turkish elections 

message: states that the demographics in Igdir province was historically Azerbaijani. Can you please provide the source for that? If that is indeed the case, we should work on a compromise together. For example, we can add something like "The province was historically Azerbaijani, and the its capital city was majority Armenian" or something.Étienne Dolet (talk) 20:17, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: That's fine. So as a compromise edit, do you think we can add something like: "The province was historically Azerbaijani, while its provincial capital city was majority Armenian."? Étienne Dolet (talk) 22:04, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Iğdır Province was a mixed region till Turkish-Armenian War. Armenians and Muslims (Azerbaijanis and Kurs) were neighbor on each other. Actually it's quite surprised to hear that Armenians were majority in Iğdır Province. Because, majority means more than half. Some years Armenians became majority due to Russian policies but they never become a vast majority. Some cities and towns were consisted of Armenian majority but if we include rural areas, it's impossible. Because most of Armenians were merchant and craftsman in Ottoman period. On the other hand, Azerbaijanis (interestingly they are regarded as Tatars in all Russian census records) and Kurds were farmers and specialized in animal husbandry. Of course I regard after 16th century. I wish I could know Russian, thus I could reach more sources :(--Sabri76'talk   20:43, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: ED sorry for late reply. No I still do not think the Armenian population of city has place in this article. There is already a separate article on Iğdır City and it is written there. Thanks --Abbatai 09:25, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Igdir Province/City demographics 

message: @37.155.68.33 Dear IP, please acquaint yourself with the Wikipedia policy "Original Research" – Basically, since the original source doesn't explicitly say Tatars (the Russian Empire's term for Azerbaijanis) or Turks, we cannot interpret 100% of the "Shia Muslims" and "Sunni Muslims" written in the source to be Azerbaijanis and Turks, respectively. However, if you found a reliable source that interprets the Caucasian Calendar's "Shia Muslims" and "Sunni Muslims" to be Azerbaijanis and Turks, that would provide sufficient grounds for change. To be clear, if you reference a source which simply states that most Azerbaijanis are Shia Muslim and most Turks Sunni Muslim, that may be considered WP:SYNTH to apply it specifically in the case of the Caucasian Calendar. If you still have any more questions, feel free to post them and I will try to answer. – Olympian loquere 10:22, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
