Sarkis Martirosyan moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sarkis Martirosyan, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Sarkis Sogomonovich Martirosyan.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Sarkis Sogomonovich Martirosyan.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:42, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Sarkis Martirosyan

Hiya - it's looking WAY better - but look at sections like this -

Martirosyan was born on 21 September [O.S. 8 September] 1900 to an Armenian family in Mədrəsə; his father was a priest. His education consisted of schooling in a rural school followed by attending the Etchmiadzin Theological Seminary. In May 1918, he joined the 19th Battalion of the Red Guard of the Baku Commune, where he participated in battles against advancing Turkish. After the collapse of the Baku commune, he relocated to Armenia, where he was drafted into the military and assigned to the 1st Armenian Cavalry Regiment. When the Red Army reached Armenia in November 1920, he joined the Red Army. He subsequently served as a machine gunner during the Armenian Civil War, participating in the suppression of the Dashnak uprising and the Erivan operation.

The citations could really do with being used to stand up assertions like "his father was a priest" - where is that sourced to? "In May 1918, he joined the 19th Battalion of the Red Guard of the Baku Commune, where he participated in battles against advancing Turkish." Where is THAT sourced to? Facts in the article should have sources to match them. A bit of a tidy - if you don't mind me making the observation - could make it a great article.

@Alexandermcnabb: That entire paragraph is sourced to the warheroes.ru page. In fact, warheroes.ru has released the content by some of their authors under a Creative Commons license so that it can be put directly into Wikipedia. I did not put a citation by each statement because it would get very very repetitive. You can read the page for yourself if you use a machine translator.--RespectCE (talk) 17:22, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia Asian Month

Hello, have you thought about signing up for Wikipedia Asian Month? I notice that quite a few of your articles deal with the USSR, that would more than qualify them to be used for the Asian Month competition. Unfortunately, you can't submit past articles, but if you have some in the hopper or that are not yet created, it could be a fun thing to contribute them. I'm not affiliated with the Wiki Asian Month, but I've contributed over the last few years. Oaktree b (talk) 19:28, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
