Thanks for the note, man. Yes, I noticed already User:Pocopocopocopoco trying to remove the images of Azeri children maimed and tortured to death during Khojaly Massacre. It's very hard to explain how contributors who strive for recognition of "genocide", actually try to hide the evidence of such.

Thanks bro, I appreciate it. Of course, we have been fraternal neighbors for ages, and I love Georgian culture and especially music. I am not in Baku actually :) but it does not matter. I resolved the issue on [4] now, so that image will stay.

Ossetians

Chuture? I noticed your notes on Kobers talk page. Indeed, there are more Ossetians who live outside of so called South Ossetia and majority of them ar enot hostile to their Georgian brethren, just yesterday there was a demonstration in Netherlands where both Georgians and Ossetians protested against Russian attempt of annexation. In 1992, many Ossetians went on hunger strike in Moscow and demanded Russia to cease its meddling in their affairs and provoking ethnic tension between them and Georgians, i remember delivering them Borjomi during their hunger strike in Moscow. You are correct, Ossetians are related to Iranic speaking peoples, as their ancestor Alans can verify. But they are not Persians or Iranians, however linguistically they belong to Iranic-Persian language group. Babakexorramdin can you help us on South Ossetia? Russians are storming that articles and implant POVs all over the article. Im gathering sources so i can correct many mistakes there. Khodakhofis! Iberieli (talk) 22:42, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

We did not say that Ossetians are Persians or citizens of Iran. They belong to the Iranian speaking ethnic groups. I will come to South Ossetia to see what we can do.Are these the Americans who use their biased sources to push their POV all around the world, these are Russians who do this in the former Soviet Union. Then it becomes an unfair game, those who control the Media have produced more sources and they create a fake sense of objectivity. --Babakexorramdin (talk) 06:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Colchis & A Question

Iberieli, I responded to you on my talk page, but I just wanted to make sure you got my reply, so I'm posting it here. I hope you don't mind:

I'm well, thank you. The term used in period in Latin (at least for the late Republic onwards) appears to have been "Colchis", and, sometime around the 2nd century AD, "Lazica". I think you can find mention of this in Polybius. The use of "Colchis" is attested in the Lewis Short Latin Dictionary with citations from ancient authors from which you should be able to pull dates (available online at the Tufts "Perseus" Project). Good luck!

The Perseus-Tufts online classics project will be really useful for you if you are not using it already. The system is not as well-designed as wikipedia, but there is a huge amount of source material available.

I also wanted to ask you a question. I posted an image of Shota Rustaveli to that page, and mentioned on the talk page there that I'm trying to figure out the origin of a kind of metal purse cover shaped like a shield that was common in the Caucasus up until the last 75 years or so. You seem to be well-connected with the Georgian community so perhaps you might be able to help. You can of course see the image I posted at the Shota article, but I should also say I've seen similar plates or plaques with religious imagery. I've even seen them with old photographs of family members. As best I can tell, they went on the cover of a small, flat, belt purse. If it is possible to find out more about these (as well as to find citations) I think this subject could form the basis of a very interesting article on one aspect of Caucasian culture. In fact I may even be able to get a few photos of a few more examples. If this sounds interesting to you, let me know what you think. --Picatrix (talk) 15:13, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Mirian III

Heh. :) I've contibuted very little to that article, but I presume this legend originates in the medieval chronicles. It is obviously false. We'll need to rewrite the article on Mirian to draw a clear line between reality and myths. Great that you noticed that. :) --Kober^Talk 06:27, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it is really confusing and it took me quite a while to summarize the conflicting views of Mirian’s origin here. : )) I don’t know any modern scholars who take Mirian’s descent from Khoseow I of the Sassanids (not Shapour as it is stated in some sources) as the historical truth. The early modern scholars such as Dowling and Brosset simply follow the medieval chronicles, which are frequently anachronistic and fused with mythology, especially in its portion related to pre-Christian and early Christian Georgia. Toumanoff believes that the legend which makes Mirian son of the Great King of Iran is a reflection of his descent from the Iranian Mihranids. The Mihranids were a noble house, but not a royal one. Hence, the medieval writers might have exaggerated Mirian’s Iranian ancestry so as make him of royal stock. One the other hand, Prof. Melikishvili and his followers in Georgia argue that Mirian’s Iranian ancestry, be it Chosroid or Sassanid, is a pure fiction and he was actually of local, Georgian, origin, whose descendants forged a legend of foreign royal ancestry to enforce their legitimacy on the throne of Iberia. Personally, I found Toumanoff’s arguments compelling, but still not sufficient to establish Mirian’s origin from the House of Mihran. The more you learn about Georgia’s history, the more mysterious it becomes, does not it? : )) Kober^Talk 20:14, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Here's a detailed discussion of Mirian's reign in Melikishvili's compilation. His criticism of Toumanoff's theory is in footnote 3. --Kober^Talk 20:18, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello Iberieli. the transelate will be შალომ ლექულამ! მა ნიშმა geagea? ათა მედაბერ ივრით? anyway youe Hebrew is very good. you made great job on the article of יהודי גאורגיה (იეჰუდეი გეორგია). are you learning Hebrew? can you read hebrew?

I made the article in the Hebrew wikipedia so I can help. some notes:

• first the georgia jews were divided to Ashkenazi Jews ( the local jews call them აშქენაზიმები) that came during the World War II and setteld in Tbilisi, and the local georgia jews.

• the תפליסיים (თიპლისიიმ) are Karaim. the are minor part of the jewish people and it omly assumed thet they were from tbilisi because of one of the name of the founder "musa al-zafrani" was "musa al-tfilisi". I made artice about them [:he:תפליסיים]]. anyway it is not a major issue.

• in the Middle Ages: Marco Polo visit Georgia in 1272 and mentioned a small community of jews in Tiflis. the Georgian chronicle tells about didi vachari (დიდი ვაჭარი), Zankan Zrubavel, thet been send by Tamar of Georgia to Russia to bring her son-in-law that it belived he was jew.

in 1328 bestow Alexander I of Russia to the katolokos patriarkh Dimitrius, 27 femilies of jews according to the feodal custom. this alexander repression the jews. the jes in that period were Serfdom and the masters were the authorities the church and the feodal master. the value of jew as Serfdom was big because they engaged in commerce and labor and not only farmers.

• there were two major blood libel in Georgia, that generally have no tradition of blood libel. in 1850 in Surami and in 1878 at Parvisi near Sachkhere, the was famos. after the blood libel in Sachkhere were riots in Kutaisi (1895). The writers Sergey Meskhi and Anton Portseladze condem the riots anainst the jews.

• the letrer of 18 jewish families (not 17) started the first groupe that make Aliyah from the Soviet Union. it "opened the gates".

thats for now. sorry for the English. if you read hebrew you can see articles of reserches in Hebrew her. also I made articles about jews by city in Georgia he:קטגוריה:יהדות גאורגיה, for example the jews of Lailasi - he:יהדות לאילשי, the jew of Akhaltsikhe - he:יהדות אחלציחה ect...

1. Peter the Iberian (the same pic)

2. Vakhtang Gorgasali

3. David the Builder (let’s have the Gelati image, rather than the currently used 19th-century one)

4. Queen Tamar (I’d prefer the Vardzia mural which is the earliest and best preserved of Tamar’s extant portraits)

5. Shota Rustaveli (stays…)

6. Erekle II ([9] or [10]

2nd row:

1. Ilia

2. Vazha

4. Mikheil Javakhishvili

5. Pirosmani (let’s have at least one painter)

6. Zakaria Paliashvili

3rd row:

1. Kote Marjanishvili or Sandro Akhmeteli

2. Ivane Javakhishvili

3. Kakutsa

4. Sergo Zakariadze

5. Merab Kostava

6. Paata Burchuladze

Please make the changes in this list you deem necessary. :) --Kober^Talk 19:40, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Excellent job, Iberieli. Thanks a lot,--Kober^Talk 15:55, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Abkhazia map

"And why is the color different between Georgian proper and Abkhazia?" - Because subject of this map is ABKHAZIA, independently it is autonomy or independent state. More so, I don't correct border line (border between Abkhazia and RF is another than border between Abkhazia and Georgia!). And so I don't see POV in my map.--Bestalex (talk) 17:27, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Hi Iberieli, hope evrything o.k. with you. Geagea (talk) 23:30, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Question

Hi, I noticed you've been involved in editing the Ethnic cleansing of Georgians in Abkhazia article. I discovered that it says "Between 10,000 to 30,000", but it's hard to verify the two sources that are cited. In fact, the second one, Federal Practice: Exploring Alternatives for Georgia and Abkhazia doesn't seem to mention the 30,000 figure at all (p. 32, [11], [12]). Do you know whether the majority of third party sources say this? I was looking at articles from the International Crisis Group and Human Rights Watch and they don't seem to go this high, and was wondering if you had any sources confirming this figure. Khoikhoi 04:10, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Thoughts? Khoikhoi 05:42, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey no problem, I didn't know you were busy. I actually didn't notice that the article also included 1998, maybe we should clarify between the years.

Ah yes, sorry about that. This someone already told me that I was mistaken. :-) I thought you could have been Soso because he left at around the same time that you joined, but I assumed bad faith and I apologize for that. BTW, you will probably not be hearing from the Laz vandal (Kolkhianboy) for awhile since I have blocked his entire IP range. All the best Giorgi, Khoikhoi 00:46, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Byzantine empire map

Hi. Thanks for your compliments and I want to apologize for answering you so late. My map of the Byzantine Empire in 1045 was inspired by a Romanian map of 1981 which showed Apkhazeti (there named Abkhazia) and Georgia as two sepparate countries. User Kober, who also wrote on my talk page about this map, said that Apkhazeti was by that time united with the rest of Georgia. I have made some modifications but I'm still not fully convinced that it is correct. I want to know your opinion about the current version of my map. Thanks and please feel free to use the map anywhere as long as you credit me for making it.

Hey man, I could tell you were Georgian because of your page. I just wanted to ask you to keep an eye on the Rustavi 2 page because it had been attacked by the sketchy Russian POV-pushers. KOBA (talk) 00:02, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Ethnic cleansing of Georgians in Abkhazia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Thank you. — Satori Son 16:54, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Trolling?

So it becomes trolling when someone shows the facts to a nationalist Persian who does know nothing about Georgian Turks but loves to comment about them. Nice.--hnnvansier (talk) 14:36, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

I have nothing to do with this dispute, why are you involving me or blaming me for something I have not done? how else should i qualify your messages if not trolling? Help me in understanding this. Im not a Persian or a nationalist. I'm Georgian Iberieli (talk) 03:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Merhaba. I am so sorry. I did not want to write to you. I mean, I thought you were some other Wikipedia user whom I was mistaken you as being him. Sorry again for this mistake. I was not aware that I was writing to someone else's page. Also thanks for the support. I like Georgia and Georgians, no problem with them. It is too late for us to return, we had been exiled before Stalin. But it is just me, not all exiles living a good life, they are stateless. And exiles got exiled again after the fall of USSR... I've seen many Ahiskan Turks in Turkey doing 'low' jobs such as library keeper, cleaner while actually they were teachers, doctors, academicians back in Soviet era.--hnnvansier (talk) 06:14, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

About Lazs, in Turkey, a large group among the people who call themselves 'Lazs' are actually ethnic Pontus Greeks. I am not talking about the real Lazs. That was a misunderstanding, sorry.--hnnvansier (talk) 11:30, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi

See Talk:History of Georgia (country)/Archive 1#Protected. Both sides should not have been warning one another for "vandalism." Secondly, simply because it is protected on your version does not mean that you don't have to discuss the issue with Aregakn. The article will remain protected until the two of you can resolve the conflict. An important step is to stop the name-calling and try to focus on the content instead. I know you have the ability to do this, so please try to work this one out. Thanks, Khoikhoi 19:08, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

The Official Mediation request for the Roman Map case

A request for formal mediation of the dispute concerning Historical map of the Roman Empire in the article "History of Georgia (country)" has been filed with the Mediation Committee (MedCom). You have been named as a party in this request. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Historical map of the Roman Empire in the article "History of Georgia (country)" and then indicate in the "Party agreement" section whether you would agree to participate in the mediation or not.

Mediation is a process where a group of editors in disagreement over matters of article content are guided through discussing the issues of the dispute (and towards developing a resolution) by an uninvolved editor experienced with handling disputes (the mediator). The process is voluntary and is designed for parties who disagree in good faith and who share a common desire to resolve their differences. Further information on the MedCom is at Wikipedia:Mediation Committee; the policy the Committee will work by whilst handling your dispute is at Wikipedia:Mediation Committee/Policy; further information on Wikipedia's policy on resolving disagreements is at Wikipedia:Resolving disputes.

If you would be willing to participate in the mediation of this dispute but wish for its scope to be adjusted then you may propose on the case talk page amendments or additions to the list of issues to be mediated. Any queries or concerns that you have may be directed to an active mediator of the Committee or by e-mailing the MedCom's private mailing list (click here for details).

Please indicate on the case page your agreement to participate in the mediation within seven days of the request's submission.

Thank you, Aregakn (talk)

Pls put your agreeing sign on the mediation request to take this issue forward. I want to remind you that you were "threatening" me with this process, so that is why I am sure you eager to participate. Aregakn (talk) 22:01, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Commencing mediation

I am willing to mediate. Please make an opening statement here. Sunray (talk) 05:49, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Iberieli, we are ready to begin the mediation. Aregakn has made an opening statement. Hope to see you on the mediation case talk page soon. Sunray (talk) 21:15, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Would you be able to give me a date by which you will be available? Sunray (talk) 20:24, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
