Neutrality dispute

@TimothyBlue: Why is this article's neutrality being disputed? Jarble (talk) 00:34, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just from a cursory glance, the article appears to be a translation of the Azerbaijani page. I am curious and perhaps @Burlaçiçək can answer, why several of the sources were removed. Annwfwn (talk) 01:34, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: The article is almost entirely based on a single source,

Süleymanov, Mehman (1998). Azərbacan Ordusu (1918–1920). Baku: hərbi Nəşriyyatı.

Information on the publisher I found from the government of Azerbaijan is it is the ""Military Publishing House" of the Ministry of Defense and is described by the MOD as "one of the ideological branches"."[1].

The only other ref [2] has the same issues related to IS and NPOV and is only used to source a single quote.

The tone and content of the article is from one of the Azerbaijani perspectives, with other positions in the conflict being ignored. This makes sense since the source for the article is the ideological branch of the ministry of defense.

Based on this I think the article fails WP:IS and has problems with neutrality. It may also fail WP:N. // Timothy :: talk 03:46, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
