WARNING: ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIES

The article Nagorno-Karabakh is currently subject to active arbitration remedies, as laid out during a 2007 Arbitration case. Per a 2012 complaint at WP:AE about apparent sock editing, Nagorno-Karabakh is under a single reversion restriction. This is a modified 1RR restriction to limit the power of newly-created accounts to prevail in disputes, while still leaving the article open to editing:

All editors are under a 1RR per day restriction.
Editors with less than 500 article edits, less than three months old or are anonymous editors are under a 1RR per day restriction with no exceptions.
Editors not subject to the #2 above can revert edits by those who are subject to #2 without breaking 1RR, but are still subject to the general edit warring policy.
Violations of the special 1RR by any editor can be reported at WP:Arbitration enforcement or to any admin.

Isn't this Senekerim-Hovhannes Artsruni, who has his own page? If so, please do repair the link. 2001:1C04:4706:EC00:E0BA:D74D:F7D8:D563 (talk) 22:39, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

the lede should mention ethnicity

The lede says nothing about "ethnic Armenians live here along with some ethnic Azeris", the reader is left wondering "why is Armenia involved with the Artsakhians?" 2603:8001:D300:A631:0:0:0:1D29 (talk) 05:35, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, you're right; it says that Armenia and Azerbaijan have been negotiating over it but doesn't explain why Armenia cares. Could definitely be improved. --Golbez (talk) 16:55, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 19 September 2022

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Hereby I want to ask a permission to do a small edit, which I like to add one citation for the history section, specifically regarding the decision to exclude as many as Azerbaijani settlement from NKAO to ensure its Armenian majority.

If the permission is given, I will change this ^{[citation needed]} to Potier, Tim (2001). Conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, A Legal Appraisal. The Hague, Netherlands: Kluwer Law International. p. 5. ISBN 9041114777.

Looks upright biased towards Armenia

First, the name "Artsakh" is rediculous. Made up names to justify Armenian occupation. Second, Armenia is governing and supplying lifelines to these Azerbaijani territory. So literally Armenians are breaking the UN conditions here. They don't care about Azerbaijani sovereignty. Three, the government of Artsakh runs from Armenia. Says it all.

To conclude, Azerbaijan should take the autonomy of that region and save Azerbaijan from invasions. 2400:2651:2381:7200:F007:71D4:4450:A262 (talk) 05:22, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:NOTFORUM, this is not a forum for general discussion about the topic. If you have any specific suggestions about the content of the article, you can make it here. Revolution Saga (talk) 09:33, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a forum or a soapbox or a place for Azerbaijani supremacism and nationalism and Anti-Armenianism. And anyway, your statement isn't even justified, since the argreement outright states "As agreed by the Parties, within the next three years, a plan will be outlined for the construction of a new route via the Lachin Corridor, to provide a connection between Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia, and the Russian peacemaking forces shall be subsequently relocated to protect the route." AKA Armenia is allowed to supply NK so the Azerbaijanis don't kill them all through blockades. Just improve the article from a neutral point of view with reliable sources.
