Disambiguation link notification for January 25
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Katherine Sarafian, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Armenian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Capture of Garadaghly
There's still a bit of work required at Capture of Garadaghly (particularly in the later sections), but do you agree that the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view tags can now be removed? The main concerns seem to have been very effectively dealt with by yourself. I have revised the introduction to provide a better fit with the new title. Skinsmoke (talk) 10:20, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
- The concern was (and still is), that the majority of the article is not based no neutral sources but on sources too closely associated with the subject and on primary sources like the Azerbaijani government or pro-government Azerbaijani news agencies. The main thing that was done, was changing the article title and deleting a few sentences which were unsourced or not verifiable. But as the NPOV problem is still not resolved I don't think one should delete the tags. --Markus2685 (talk) 18:43, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
- That doesn't necessarily constitute an article which fails to keep a neutral point of view. As I understand it, the incident is not denied by Armenia, though Armenian sources differ on the number of casualties, as is reported in the infobox (it's a pity the information in the infobox hasn't been incorporated into the text). The article also draws on the writings of an Armenian-American, who is detailing the life of his brother who was fighting on the Armenian side in the conflict, and is unlikely to be exhibiting pro-Azeri bias. Azerbaijan's claims are not presented as fact, but are labelled as coming from one of the parties to the conflict. While it would be nice to have some Armenian official sources, if they simply do not exist there is not much anyone can do. There is still probably a case for the sources too closely associated with the subject tag remaining, but I am not at all clear what your objection is to the removal of the neutrality tag.
