Let me express my objection regarding your deletion of my and previous edits made by other users. Your removal of source is unacceptable and it will be much appreciated you do not repeat that again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fmelikov (talk • contribs) 23:37, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Lavash‎ shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.--Fmelikov (talk) 03:28, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• What foreign languages are taught to schoolchildren nowadays in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:46, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Do you look at http://news.am ? (Armenian news web site). It posts articles in Armenian and Russian and usually English and sometimes Turkish. At the ends of some news articles is a place where readers can post Facebook comments :: many such comment messages from Armenians are in Russian. I have found there a few Facebook messages in Armenian or Russian languages in the English alphabet. Google Translate is useful to me here. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:01, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, many mid-aged people in Armenia who attended Russian schools (i.e. schools where Armenian was taught as a foreign language) in the Soviet era are not fluent in Armenian and are unable to make complex sentences in Armenian. Also, hundreds of thousands of Armenians live in Russia. Just curious, how is Google Translate helpful in translating Armenian or Russian written in Latin script? --Երևանցի ^talk 02:42, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Google Translate needs Armenian to be in the Armenian alphabet, and Russian to be in the Russian alphabet, and so on. For example, Armenian ե is Unicode code hexadecimal 0565, and its Roman alphabet equivalent 'e' is Unicode code hexadecimal 0065, and they are different things to a computer program. When Google-translating some Facebook comments added to news.am by Armenians in the Russian language, sometimes the translater refused because the author had replaced a Russian letter by an English letter that looks the same on the screen but has a different Unicode code.

Is the young generation successfully being brought back to using Armenian as their first language? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:13, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply
  ]

Russian has always been spoken in Yerevan as a native language only by a small minority. Today, Russian words are often used in colloquial Armenian (might wanna take a look at Yerevan dialect for more on this). Yes, those educated in independent Armenia especially since the late 1990s (the early and mid-1990s were a time of deep socio-economic crisis and schools were barely functioning) are more or less fluent in Armenian. Russian retains its status as the primary foreign language, although English has become increasingly influential especially in the past decade with the dramatic rise of the internet. --Երևանցի ^talk 04:05, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't he be considered a student and not a visitor?

Good question. I think it's best to leave him in the visitors section since he wasn't an actual student (i.e. a seminary student). Also, most sources I've read so far (both Armenian and English) call him a "visitor" or describe his "visit" to the island/monastery. --Երևանցի ^talk 02:41, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dear User:Yerevantsi,

I see you do a lot of good stuff on behalf of the Armenian related pages, well done ;) However I have one sincere question; could you please update the numbers for the Armenian diaspora in Iran? Currently, the Armenian diaspora page shows one number for 70,000 - 80,000 (which is a very very low underestimation) and the reference for it is a dead link. The other number 120,000, is from an 8 year old source and should nowadays be a minimum estimation. Don't forget the Iranian population has grown significantly since then.

I have here some more recent sources that you could perhaps put there. I have no idea how to put them correctly myself, so I wondered whether you could put them for me?

This is a 2009 source that mentions them ranging between 110,000 - 300,000.^[1]

Here a 2011 source that mentions them to be (about) 200,000.^[2] And here a 2010 source doing so as well.^[3]

Famous Babak Rezvani, specialized in Caucasian-Iranian history and ethnic groups in his 2014 book (using a 2008 source) mentions 250,000 Armenians.^[4]

Another source, 2006, about Ethnic Groups in West Asia, mentions them to be more than 250,000.^[5]

Another source 2013, mentions them to be 200,000 as well.^[6]

Another source, 2012, mentions them to be 500,000.^[7]

A 2013 post mentioning 150,000.[5], and the same by a 2014 post.[6]

The estimations range somewhat, but as of 2015, we can definetely say a low estimation would be 150,000-200,000 while a high estimation would be 300,000-500,000, knowing that Irans populations numbers some ~ 80 million nowadays.

Thanks in advance dear Yerevantsi. I would appreciate it a lot if you could edit that page and the diaspora map accordingly :)
