Talk:Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic

message: I believe it should be included in the section under "Great Patriotic War" that a number of Armenians served in German military units. This is a known fact which has been documented by serveral sources. Its really no different thatn the Russians, Ukrainians, Latvians or Central Asians who also served in similar unites (such as the so called Russian Liberation Army of Andrei Vlasov) Piercetp 00:04, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I included this earlier (along with information on how some even helped save Jews from the Holocaust while part of it).  I re-added my earlier paragraph for now, but I'm still not sure if we should include it on an article about the Armenian SSR specfically.  Perhaps if there was an article called "Armenians in World War II" then we could do it.  Again, I'm not sure.  -- Clevelander 02:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Er, also, I'm willing to discuss topics such as these, but I prefer that you do not accuse me of "vandalism."  Remember, I have worked long and hard on this article too. Cheers, Clevelander 02:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK that works. Thanks. About that "vandalism", I actually posted a second time because I believed that was too strong a word. I tried to delete it as soon as I posted it but there is no way to reedit comment summaries here. Sorry. Piercetp 04:05, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: The "Armenian Legion"

message: I think this article is close to being a Good Article, but a few things remain, so I am putting it on hold and if these issues are fixed within the next week then this article can be promoted.
*Unfortunately the images are problematic and probably need to be removed:
**:Image:SchoolchildrenInArmenia.jpg does not qualify under fair use.  It would be fair use if you were writing about that specific photo, not what is illustrating.
**:Image:May1paradeYerevan.jpg is from the Armenian Soviet Encyclopedia which was published in the 70s/80s and hence is not Public Domain.
*I have spotted a bunch of grammatical and spelling problems with the aritcle.  I have fixed up a couple, but the article still needs a good copyedit to check the grammar.  Also, there are two mixes of English here - most words are spelt using U.S. English, but some words are spelt in U.K. English, just a couple of instances "metres", "civilisation" (UK) "neighbors", "theaters" (US)  (though this is a minor issue).--Konstable 08:38, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: One thing which is still a bit confusing: "Under the Soviet system, the economy of the country was highly centralized with little to no private ownership of income producing property."  I would fix this myself but I really don't understand what it's saying in the first place.--Konstable 02:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright I changed it, basically, what it's saying is that communism took over and capitalism was out of the window. The economy was centralized, controlled by the government so they banned all privately runned businesses. - Fedayee 02:42, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think there is still a lot to be done here.  It is not just a problem of grammar (still some oversized sentences that are hard to read here and there).  A lot of the time one sentence does not logically follow another, and some key dates are left out.  I will see if I can help fix some of these myself, though not sure if I will have the time.--Konstable 13:05, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the current version is good enough to be promoted to GA status.  I would do this myself right now, but I think I might have worked too much on this article to qualify as a reviewer for it.  I will leave a note on WP:GAC for someone else to confirm that it should be promoted.--Konstable 04:59, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: GA on hold

message: Any reason why Armenian SSR's existence dates in the box is written as 1936-1991?  Officially, the Republic was established in December of 1920, right?  Why do you refer to the disintegration of Union of Soviet Transcaucasian Republics as the establishment of Armenian SSR?  Thanks for the explanation in advance.  --Aynabend (talk) 14:55, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Date: 1936?

message: It seems that given that the formal name for this nation was "Armenian 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, Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic.  We wouldn't have an article about North Korea titled "DPRK", would we?  --Micahbrwn (talk) 09:54, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fine by me, but what about other 15 republics? They should all be named the same way. VartanM (talk) 18:46, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Proposed move to Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic

message: is the flag anecdote really relevant here? it seems to be included more as a putdown towards turkey in the ongoing saga of turkish-armenian animosity, more than anything else.

thread_title: File:Ussr Armenian Anthem.ogg Nominated for Deletion

message: The article, despite its GA status, contains numerous inaccuracies, weasel-worded statements, and unsourced assertions. Also, given the importance of the subject, the article should rely on more reliable and up-to-date sources. --KoberTalk 06:53, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur. Its GA status was given many years ago though, so perhaps the quality standards back then were somewhat lower. Not something that can't be solved though. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:49, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  More improvement needed 

message: There are certain users who have been editing other SSR articles on Wikipedia for the past year, by stating that the soviet republics existed until the adoption of their new constitutions in the mid-1990s. 
Armenian SSR declared itself independent and changed its name to Armenia in 1991, and there are absolutely no arguments to back up that this state existed until 1995. That would be rewriting history. A new state is not just a matter of all-new constitutions, but also of its status and form of government. Afghanistan has had a lot of states since the abolishment of monarchy in the 1970s: the First Republic (1973–1978), Democratic Republic/Second Republic (1978–1992), the Islamic State (1992–2001), the Islamic Emirate (1996–2001), the Afghan Interim Administration (2001–2002), the Afghan Transitional Administration (2002–2004), and the present-day Islamic Republic since 2004. Yet they have only had four constitutions since then: 1976, 1987, 1990 and 2004. Is that to say that we should change these yearspans totally as well, so that most of these states didn't exist? The People's Republic of Hungary ended in 1989, but an all-new constitution was first made in 2011. Should we also say that the PR of Hungary existed until 2011, then? That would make little sense. Although Armenia did not adopt a new constitution before 1995, there's no doubt about that it was a totally different state. It had a totally different form of government, its name was changed, it was an independent state (not a federated state), it was not a Soviet socialist republic. These factors are a lot more independent than the adoption of an all-new constitution. And although the constitution was not all-new, and formally the same constitution although heavily amended, it was amended to fit a new state and was not really the same constitution in practice. You'll have to agree that the 1991 transition is a lot more historically significant change in Armenia's history than the adoption of a new constitution.
