april utc request for mediation in removing mclellan and the marine corps from manookian's page armenian issues i have tried to informally resolve the editing issues on arman manookian to no avail as a matter of fact i requested mediation with no response moreover a consensus of assisting editors informed me when i tried to include arman manookian on the list of historically notable marines that arman manookian was merely a clerk and nothing more and did not warrant such inclusion and was not part of marine corps history based on that guidance i deleted references to mcclellan a marine corps historian on manookain's page now i note the very same editors who opined that manookian did not warrant inclusion on the list of historically notable marines insist on including mcclellan's name and the marine corps on manookian's page for propaganda purposes i have repeatedly pointed out that this type of inclusion detracts from manookian's accomplishments independent of the united states marine corps history it appears as though a double and convoluted standard applies and it is very offensive to armenians moreover linked references to mcclellan and the marine corps confuse the readers as to who really the article is about is it about manookian or mclellan or the united states marine corps although i am assuming good faith several witnesses are absolutely dismayed at this type of conduct and it should be noted that it gives the appearance of bias for a pov and propaganda i don't believe mediation is consistent with an editing war moreover as i stated before in assuming good faith it appears as though manookian's page is being collaborated to sell art and recruit for the marine corps yet when simple solutions are offered such as including manookian and mcclellan on the list of historically notable marines it is ignored because his last name ends in ian and the fact that he committed suicide as a self imposed martyr despite the fact that on the editor assistance page the question posed was not answered and then listed as answered i followed the guidance of those editors who in essence stated that the reason manookian was taken off the list of historically notable marines was because he was a clerk and mcclellan only said nice things about his name and fame are intertwined with it marine corps history him because he felt sorry that manookian committed suicide and not because he had anything to do with him being the first marine corps historical artist illustrator i followed their guidance and hope you follow their guidance as well this type of conduct cannot stand and it will be noted or publicized moreover there seems to be a concerted effort by so called volunteer editors who have a keen eye either on my edits or on marine corps history that have a problem with historically notable marines whose last names end in ian or who volunteered for suicide missions apparently it has something to do with recruitment of armenians for martyrdom during wwii and the marine corps' subsequent treacherous conduct of ignoring those very same armenian american marines for political and financial reasons at this point i ask that an administrator watch this page very carefully as it relates to an armenian american marine who cannot defend himself from scavengers
