Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    If you want to start calling people autists, go to 4chan. They welcome that there and the site is full of them. I can assure you, I am not autistic.

    Stop projecting as well. Being autistic is okay, theres nothing to be ashamed of my little minecrafter.


    Hilarious. Ive only been posting on this forum for a few days, and Ive already been accused of being an ARF agent, a Turk, a woman, a Russian bot, and an autist.
    Lol welcome to the forum. Don't take it personally.

    That I can address

    Originally, the article listed 102 T-72s. A user then added 200 T-72s, using a source that did not actually specify the number of T72s (It claimed that there were 200 tanks in general, but not 200 T72s. This was pointed out by another user, who had reverted the edit.) I believe armnuke increased the number to 250, with no source cited. He also added in information regarding the actual number of T72s in NKR, however the numbers he provided did not coincide with the source, that he failed to provide (but referred to)

    I found the article, added the source, adjusted the numbers etc. Because the NKR Defense Army and the Armenian Army are the same thing (NKR command structure is like a Soviet front or German Army Group), and inspections are not possible in NKR...its quite difficult to determine what number of tanks Armenia has and what number of tanks the Armenian Armed Forces in NK have. I just put the original number with an addition sign that indicates that there is more. The information in the chart notes should be sufficient for readers.

    As for the BMPs - The source says 50 were repaired, not 100 or 50-100. Perhaps the person who read it, couldnt read the PDF properly because it was in Russian?

    There are way more BMP-2s than that, especially in NK.

    Armnuke jan, most of the sourced information you provided is still there - just not the pictures. No reason to act like a child over it. Its just pictures.

    Users adding information, reverting edits, deleting false info, etc is what makes an article good. Don't be discouraged or personally offended because I'm removing and editing some of the things you are adding.

    By the way, there are many many people who edit military equipment articles as a form of agenda-pushing.


    Ill say it again - If you want to address the issues of the wikipedia article use the article's talk page, not this forum. There are at least 5 other users who actively edit the article and monitor it. They would have removed all the information you added along with the pictures. They also deserve to be informed on what you are doing to the article - Be considerate and post in the talk page.
    Not getting into Wikipedia again. I have my military page on Facebook to discuss military stuff with people from all around the world. Way cooler than having to go through useless arguments to convince people.

    You spent hours finding photos not part of public domain and uploading them to wikipedia - I suspect they will soon be removed due to the issues i spelled out for you several times.

    Unlike your edits, I based my edits off the pre-existing information and charts. You can read that in the talk page. You can also look at previous version of the page - I took all the information already in bullet points and converted it to chart form - I then added information regarding the recent arms deal with Russia. Thats it.

    When it comes to information, I hardly changed or added anything to the page. You were adding unsourced information, adding bogus figures (In the T72 section especially) that did not coincide with the sources you listed. (Sources that you didn't even bother to formally reference. You cannot just put "According to Razm.info" Find the article, and cite it.)

    Don't imply that I am hypocrite for simply removing inappropriate images. The weapons you listed are still there.
    Are you even in Armenia?
    I've left my good life in another country and have moved to Armenia to contribute to the country while getting 1/3 the income I had.
    Don't speak left and right without knowing the person you're talking to. I did not label you to start with.
    Actually, this thread was very interesting without your presence.
    Looks like your world revolves around Wikipedia. Do what you like with it then.

    No wonder you argue with everyone since you've joined this forum.
    If we can't agree on a Wikipedia page, how are we going to win wars? Of course not with people like you on board.

    Theres nothing wrong with your edits - They are all made in good faith. They are just not optimal for the article.

    Im also working on getting the equipment section turned into its own article, as it is way too long. Continue your edits then, and collaborate with other users.
