Dear Eupator, thanks a lot for your swift response. Well the inscription now becomes pretty clear. The first part indeed reads ΜΗΔΕΝ ΛΑΒΟΝΤΕΣ ΗΡΓΑΣΑΜΕΘΑ ("receiving nothing we toiled/laboured/worked" or more simply "we worked for free"). Beneath it you can see two figures and two names written beside them. ΩΚΕΑΝΟΣ (transliterated: OKEANOS meaning "Ocean") and ΘΑΛΑΣΑ, (transliterated THALASA meaning "Sea" - although, as it is common is such late inscriptions, the word is mispelled-the correct form would be ΘΑΛΑΣΣΑ=THALASSA with a double s). The two human figures are actually personifications of the ocean and the sea and the mosaic -if I am not mistaken- should probably date from the late 3rd or 4th century AD. Such mythological representations are actually quite common in the late greco-roman mosaics. They usually depict rivers, mountains even abstract notions such as ΑΙΩΝ (time or eternity), ΑΦΘΟΝΙΑ (abundance)etc. The objects protruding from the heads of the figures should have been crab-grips and wings as you can see in an earlier example from Zeugma here http://www.ubiquityinternational.com/newsimages/oceanus_tethys_mosaic.jpg, where Tethys (the mythological sister of the Ocean) instead of THALASSA = Sea is represented. These attributes would suffice for the identification by the ancient viewer. Of course the Garni mosaic is a later adaptation (maby 2 centuries later) of the same theme. Details have been largely schematized to the point of loosing their original meaning thereby making identification difficult and the explanatory inscriptions necessary (a fact also compatible with the probable late date of the Garni example). The first part of the text has probably to do with the fact that the artists constructed the mosaic without receiving any fee. Similar inscriptions come from mosaics in early christian Basilicas and were intended as a sort of dedication by faithful ΜΟΥΣΕΙΑΡΙΟI artists making the mosaics. In this case I am a bit puzzled because such pagan representations of the Ocean and the Sea would hardly be fitting to a christian establishment... but who knows. Thanks again for your gesture to show me these photos. Armenian monuments (especially the later monastic and church architecture) are absolutely ravishing and (unfortunately) largely uknown--Giorgos Tzimas (talk) 00:32, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just noticed that the mosaic comes from a bathing complex. The personifications of Ocean and Sea are more than fitting for such an establishment but in this case the first part of the text seems more of a complaint against a stingy boss... LOL--Giorgos Tzimas (talk) 00:42, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did you find any of that useful? Unfortunately I haven't managed to trace anything published but I am going to ask a friend who is specializing in epigraphy. Would you by any chance know who has conducted the excavations at Garni. This might help because then I can probably trace some relevant bibliography. I only hope that it won't be only in Russian...--Giorgos Tzimas (talk) 09:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding a more accurate link on the Gregory the Illuminator article. I was frustrated by the total lack of information on what Armenians might have been converted from, so I went the quickie route. 65.190.92.233 (talk) 16:34, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Eupator I don't think that you know me, so I'll introduce myself: I'm one of the few members of the Armenian project on fr, though I'm not Armenian (I'm from Belgium and have no Armenian "roots"). I'm mainly interested in Armenian history but, due to the low number of people interested about writing articles about Armenia on fr, I sometime work on other Armenian-related articles. By default, I'm also in charge of the Armenian Portal on fr. I recently launched a monthly newsletter relating to the Armenian Projects, Des Nouvelles d'Arménie; the idea is about providing members with information on the three projects, like new articles, votes on FA, important progress, ... as well as entertaining the link between each of us. As I said, our number is not very high (13, actually). I was thus wondering whether opening ourselves to the other wiki Armenian projects would be a good idea. In such a case, the en one would be a first choice. I saw that you're the founder of the Portal. Also, whenever I have a look at an en Armenian-related article, I see your name. You definitely seem to be a very good candidate. So here is my question: would you agree to be interviewed for our newsletter? If you do, I think we have enough time to use your interview for the September issue. In case you don't, I would perfectly understand it. So, what do you think about it? You can answer either here or on my talk page here, or on the fr one. In any case, have a good weekend, Sardur (talk) 23:29, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot wrap my head around why you regard the word 'opponent' used in a discussion as uncivil. If I am not mistaken, this is not the first time. In English, the word 'opponent' has multiple related meanings, not necessarily having to do with battlefields, and one of them is: "one that takes an opposite position (as in a debate, contest, or conflict)". [1] I hope that this would not cause any more problems in the future. Parishan (talk) 11:41, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have referred the matter to the Reliable Sources noticeboard and am thinking that we shall get an answer shortly. I truly have no idea if it's valid or not. Kingnavland (talk) 00:33, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think of Zlerman's suggestion to make kaghak=town, gyugh=village, and large kaghak=city? It seems to be the best idea so far. Since the size of kaghakner varies so widely (>1000 to <100,000) it makes sense to use either "town" or "city" for them. That way we are sticking to a consistent convention, but still using words that make sense in English. Kaldari (talk) 16:17, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Eupator I recently expanded fr:Matenadaran; I hoped I could bring it to the GA level, but I know now that this is not realistic, mainly due to the lack of established sources... whatever. One of the red links in the French-speaking article is Toros Roslin, an article you're working on. Do you think you're quite done with it ? I would like to translate it (and perhaps expand it a bit with French-speaking sources, if possible), but I would prefer to do it when the :en article is stable.

I'm in two minds about how to approach this Philip Baird Shearer. At first I thought they were the actions of an newbie idiot, but now I think they might be well planned. However, well planned or not, I don't see them succeeding. Personally, I think he is a lone gunman type: no support, bee under his bonnet, and a lot of WP:OWN issues. His success here will depend on how much support he gets. I don't think the usual suspects will want to be involved in supporting him because they will know a lost cause when they see it. It might depend on what advantage his admin status gives him. Meowy 15:55, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The above-linked Arbitration case has been closed and the final decision published.

PHG's mentorship and sourcing arrangement is both revised and extended; the full list of new conditions are available by clicking this link. Furthermore, the original topic ban on editing articles related to medieval or ancient history has been rescinded. PHG is prohibited from editing articles relating to the Mongol Empire, the Crusades, intersections between Crusader states and the Mongol Empire, and Hellenistic India—all broadly defined. This topic ban will last for a period of one year. He is permitted to make suggestions on talk pages, provided that he interacts with other editors in a civil fashion.

Any particular article may be added or removed from PHG's editing restriction at the discretion of his mentor; publicly logged to prevent confusion of the restriction's coverage. The mentor is encouraged to be responsive to feedback from editors in making and reconsidering such actions. Furthermore, the Committee noted that PHG has complied with the Committee's restrictions over the past ten months, and that PHG is encouraged to continue contributing to Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects. PHG should be permitted and encouraged by other editors to write well-sourced suggestions on talkpages, to contribute free-content images to Wikimedia Commons, and to build trust with the community.

Dear Eupator, hope all is going well. I'll leave the article to you, since I do not have time, but I did not deny the Armenian culture of the dynasty. Just wanted to add they had Iranic origin. Anyhow, have a good one. --Nepaheshgar (talk) 19:33, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the prompt response. I'll let you make the edits and see how it turns out as I am not claiming to be an expert in the region (and you probably know more on the ancient history) but I was just mentioning some sources. --Nepaheshgar (talk) 19:47, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By the way Iranica mentions Zoroastrian Armenians existing up to the 20th century and also the Armenian Zoroastrian calendar. I think these would make interesting articles. --Nepaheshgar (talk) 19:49, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I am not sure if it is related but I am reffering to this:[3] "But a small group of Armenian Zoroastrians, the Arewordikʿ “Children of the Sun,” never converted to Christianity,... In the early 20th century, the Armenian quarter of Marsovan was called Arewordi; there was a cemetery outside the town called Arewordii grezman, and the Armenian owner of a nearby vineyard was named Arewordean, i. e., Arewordi-son (Letter from Mme. Maricʿa Metakʿsean, Ēpinay-sur-Seine, France, 4 July 1979, in response to an article by the author in Haratch, Paris, 1 July 1979). ". Do you know if this group still exists possibly?--Nepaheshgar (talk) 20:02, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By the way here is an example of Orontids: [[http://books.google.com/books? id=9y7nTpFcN3AC&pg=PA23&dq=orontids+iranian&lr=]]. Note their remnants were culturally Armenian and culturally they adopted Armenian Christianity and etc., but their origin seems to be Iranic. I usually thought Iranian influences in the Caucasus can only bring the Caucasus and Iran/Iranian people closer, but usually it has been having the opposite effect for all three countries.  :( --Nepaheshgar (talk) 21:40, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By the way what you mentioned was very interesting. Are the Mehr worshippers recent converts from Christianity or actually Armenians who have contiously preserved the religion?--Nepaheshgar (talk) 21:40, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

many thanks to everyone for the editings only 2 points: 1. Sicily became majoritarian latin speaking and RC Catholic between 1240 and 1300, possibly later then 1300 (1400-1500 the greeks became a negligible minority and the last speakers disappeared probably in the XVI century, the last basilian monks dismissed the last remnats of greek between 1700 and 1761 - in 1761 the monastery San Michele Arcangelo di Troina was rebuilt and reorganized as fully western and roman), when Frederick became the King the RCs were the dominant group but possibly not yet the majority, may be "dominant" could be more correct 2.

Dear Eupator, would you consider reversing your edit that reversed your earlier edit that removed the link to the Azeri-language wikipedia. In other words , would you remove the link. As you may know, the problem of Wikipedia linking to propaganda websites has come up before (for the khachkar entry). I'm interested in seeing what happens when it is removed again.

I'd like to inform you about a new discussion opened on the talk-page of the Armenian Genocide article. I proposed adding a new paragraph about Patriocide, along with other losses due to Genocide. Would be glad to see your participation.

The article Hayasa-Azzi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Honestly, some references in this article is just made up, good example could be reference - AM 130-3. There is not even 1 relevant evidence about this article in internet, which makes whole concept of this article - doubtful.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. NovaSkola (talk) 01:47, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 16:06, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I believe you are interested in contributing our efforts to disproof the lies in the so-called Kohjaly Massacre article and here. In the History section of Baku article we read: "Muslims suffered a crushing defeat by the united forces of the Baku Soviet and then felt the whole unbridled ferocity of Dashnak teams. Some 12 000 Azeri became the victims of the massacre carried out by radical Armenians and Bolshevik troops". Thanks. --Kevorkmail (talk) 14:45, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Democratic Republic of Armenia Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan

You might be able to help, I'd like you to come check this out. I want to include a map of the first republic of Armenia (from 1918-1920). From 1918 to 1919, Armenia and Azerbaijan were at war. Borders were not set. Therefore, it's difficult to have a map that's accurate. I made a comprehensive map that shows all the territory that Armenia had stable control over (Yerevan, Kars, Sevan and Gyumri). The rest of the territory that Armenia claimed is separated into two parts. Regions that were mostly under Armenian control, and regions mostly under Azerbaijani control. These are territories that both Armenia and Azerbaijan claimed, and warred over, and the borders often changed. This includes Zangezur, Nakhichevan, Karabakh. My map is sourced by a non-Armenian source, and it even uses contemporary maps of the time to prove it. This site perfectly explains the situation of the time (non-Armenian source): http://conflicts.rem33.com/images/Armenia/disp.htm

A user named Neftchi continuously removes my map using the usual "Nakhchivan, Zangezur and Karabakh have always been Azerbaijani" rhetoric. But I have material to prove him wrong, therefore, I started a discussion on the article to argue about it. I presented all of my arguments, and he hasn't written a word to discuss with me. Instead, he just started an edit war with me, and when he realized I'm not giving up without an argument, he decided to put a map of Azerbaijan that includes ALL territories Azerbaijan claimed at the Paris Peace conference. That map is extremely inaccurate, as it completely ignores the territories Armenian militia controlled. Borders weren't recognized at the time, only the governments were, because Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan were all at war. Only proposals were made, and they were still being discussed when the Soviet Union conquered the Caucasus, and set the borders themselves. So I removed his map using the argument that it is biased, and that it ignores the Armenian side.

Please compare: I could have done like him and posted a map that includes all territories Armenia claimed, but that would have been biased. Instead, I posted a map that shows what each side controlled. At least my map doesn't assume that everything Armenia claimed actually belonged to Armenia. My map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:D_R_Armenia.png His map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Azerbaijan_Democratic_Republic_1918_20.png

Tell me which one is more objective? And he says my map is not sourced. He clearly hasn't read the "Source" of my map. Plus he doesn't even take the time to discuss, he just imposes his views without a single word of argument. Something must be done here. I don't mind making an objective map of Azerbaijan as well. But it would be good if it wasn't ignorant people with a political agenda, but those with an interest in historical facts to make the final decisions on what maps should be used. Kentronhayastan (talk) 17:39, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Azerbaijan was a non-existent nation until the Soviet Union. Historically speaking, Armenians were the only nation that was sandwiched between the Greeks and the Persians. The Persians even had Armenian Generals, so did the Greeks and Romans. Going back on topic, during the Soviet Union Era there was a lot of corruption and that worked against the Armenians. The Azerbaijan history is fabricated, to say the least. The Azerbaijani people claim that they are descendants of Albanians, which is inaccurate--that region was Armenian and the Albanians were also Armenians (Armenians had more than 60 kingdoms stretching from the border with the Greeks and Persians). Though after the Turks invaded that region they did mix with the Armenians and then they continued their bloody conquest. The Turks raped, killed the men, kidnapped women and took orphans and that is a fact--there are millions of "Turks" who are being told that they are part Armenian, but sadly it is all kept hushed-up (this is why when the European Journals published a Genetics paper on that region noted the similarity between the Armenians, Turks, and Azerbaijan people. To recap: the Turks and Azerbaijanis( people who are mixed between the Turkish invaders who already mixed with the Persians before coming and mixing with the Armenians) both forcibly mixed with the Armenians who were already present there). These are facts, and it is funny how I, who am not Armenian or middle-eastern, have done extensive research of that region and the current occupants and know the facts and the current occupants don't. -Researcher — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.208.165.81 (talk) 19:10, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
