Aggressive editing by Freedom Wolfs
editFreedom Wolfs recent edits to this article unacceptable for a number of reasons. For one, he goes to extreme lengths to minimize or remove completely any mention of Armenians and their historical presence in Agulis. He inserts irrelevant text about how supposedly the Russians transplanted the Armenian population to the Caucasus, even though there isn't any indication that Armenians even settled in any great numbers in Agulis in the nineteenth century. Second, he has stuffed the article with official Azerbaijani sources, sources which most scholars consider of dubious quality and who advise that readers and other historians avoid or shun completely based on how blatantly biased they are. These sources are wholly inadequate to substantiate the arguments being made or brought forward, including the mention of fantastic figures of tens of thousands of Muslims being killed in a region during a short span of a time in a period where their population probably did not far exceed it. Third, he is being overly aggressive with his edits, even going so far as deleting reliable sources like Hovannisian and the information found in his books (published by the University of California Press), and edit warring to retain his version.
New edits are always welcome, but only when the sources and information are presented in neutral language and not made to reflect the official Azerbaijani version of the history of the Caucasus. --Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 09:15, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
Freedom Wolfs's edits are disruptive to say the least. To add to the comment above, the content he repeatedly adds is blatant POV (all are recent publications in Azerbaijan, a country nothing is published without government consent). Also, we do not need paragraphs on small 17th-18th century bridges that are not architecturally significant. --Երևանցի talk 21:32, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
