On 30 August 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ashiq Peri, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Ashiq Peri was the first prominent female folk poet in Azerbaijan? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ashiq Peri. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Ashiq Peri), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

art of Azerbaijan
Thank you for quality articles about arts in Azerbaijan and the world, such as Ashiq Peri, Evening Bells (painting) and The Great Wave off Kanagawa, supported by language expertise, for engaged quality reviewing, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Hello Golden, I wanted to let you know that I nominated the article Communication for featured article status, see Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Communication/archive1. So far, there has not been much response from reviewers. I was wondering whether you are inclined to have a look at it due to your interest in poetry and literature. If you have the time, I would appreciate your comments. Phlsph7 (talk) 09:50, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi Golden, some time ago you left a message on my talk page about the article on Jessie Murray, and how you would like to have seen her partner also get their own article. She has now. There’s even less on her than Murray, but at least there is something. Hopefully in the future some paper will be published with more information we can use, but this will have to do for now. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 07:37, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
The following sanction now applies to you:
You are indefinitely topic-banned from all pages about Armenia, Azerbaijan, and related ethnic conflicts, broadly construed.
You have been sanctioned because you have failed to abide by your narrower topic ban from conflicts involving Armenia or Azerbaijan, broadly construed
. I cautioned you in May to be very careful straying anywhere in the vicinity of your existing TBAN
and that the existing TBAN should be read to include conflicts of predecessor states to modern Azerbaijan and Armenia.
In June I said I wish you wouldn't get so close to the bounds of the TBAN
. In that discussion I found that you had not violated the TBAN, but did clearly put you on notice—a final final final notice—that you were playing with fire by editing so close to thouse bounds.
This brings us to Special:Diff/1186503734, where you removed the statement From the 16th century up until the 18th century, Armenians formed the majority population of the capital, Shamakhi
and a related image caption. The population of a region prior to a conflict falls within the topic of that conflict, broadly construed. (Consider, say, statistics about Jews in Poland in 1938.) If it were just this, I would maybe cut you some rope, but I and other admins have made it so so clear over the months and years that you do not have much wiggle room here, and sooner or later push must come to shove. I wish you happy editing in other topic areas.
This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan 2#Final decision and, if applicable, the contentious topics procedure. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.
You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you.
As a procedural note, this is a standard AA2 TBAN, not one of the special appeal-only-to-ArbCom TBANs under AA3 R5.2, because it does not involve edit-warring. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|she) 04:57, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
conflicts involving Armenia or Azerbaijan. That there was a large Armenian non-majority presence in the 16th–18th century population isn't exactly disputed, and the sorts of facts here predate the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict by hundreds of years. The Poland analogy would probably hold if these were statistics about Armenians in Shamakhi in, say, 1987, but they're not. (What would be more analogous is saying that it's a topic ban violation for someone who's "banned from making edits related to the Holocaust in Poland" making an edit about the proportion of the population of Warsaw that was Jewish in 1750, and that's clearly not a TBAN violation).
Armenians retained a significant presence in the Shamakhi district until the First Nagorno-Karabakh war, which resulted in the forced displacement of the remaining unassimilated Shamakhi Armenians to Armenia. The two sentences were clearly related, and removing the first affected the meaning of the second. This was not a tough call, at least not on the policy side. (On the personal side it was unpleasant to implement, because I do think Golden is here in good faith.) As to your suggestion on my talkpage of a ban from Armenians, no. I'm not going to go from one half-measure to another. Even now there's the temptation to be the nice admin and carve out some exception, but no: Every effort has been made, by myself and multiple other admins, to give Golden some amount of room to edit in this topic area, and each time it hasn't worked out. Enough is enough. Golden of course retains the standard options for appeal. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|she) 16:16, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
