Orphaned references in History of Azerbaijan

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of History of Azerbaijan's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Lang":

From Middle Ages: Loyn "Language and dialect" Middle Ages p. 204
From Qajar dynasty: Lang, David Marshall (1962), A Modern History of Georgia, p. 38. London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 10:20, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Information

The content on this page is incorrect. History has been fabricated to eradicate and rewrite what is commonly known as Armenian lands. BlondieKnot (talk) 21:55, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First sentence

@CuriousGolden: I don't agree with the way the first sentence of the lede is written. This article is meant to elaborate about the History of the Azerbaijan Republic, discussing everything that happened in relation to its soil, from prehistory to contemporary times. This concept doesn't equal to the history of ethnic Azerbaijanis. We are both well aware that the entire article needs to rewritten (I might do it myself at some point in the future), but the first sentence of the lede is just too misleading for it to remain as it is. - LouisAragon (talk) 12:30, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's similar to the lead in History of Armenia. The sentence you added here doesn't sound very nice in my opinion (it's quite short), but if you can improve it, then we can definitely change it. (Perhaps it could be made similar to how it is on History of Turkey?) — CuriousGolden (T·C) 14:30, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ref bombs

I've been working on History of Azerbaijan#Prehistory. There are four ref bombs in the section, some of this should be moved to the Further reading section. I have enclosed the three instances in notes; this is not a good long term solution due to ref chasing. Does anyone have thoughts on these four instances, and what should be moved to further reading. Since if I go forward I'll be moving refs I wanted to post a discussion first. // Timothy :: talk 19:38, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
