Ah, I forgot. Some of the articles are [[Azerbaijan]], [[Azerbaijan (disambiguation)]], [[History of Azerbaijan]], [[South Azerbaijan]], [[Azerbaijanis]], [[Azerbaijani language]], [[Aran (Azerbaijan)]], [[Shervan]], and [[Persian language]]. Some of these I can't revert anymore because of the three reverts policy.

There's been a recent wave of possible vandalizing or at least very pointed edits (heavy removal of information, wiki links, and disputed notices) on Azerbaijan and Iran related articles. Since I can't see proper reversions or NPOVization, it seems that only very few people care about the articles, and even from the short list, some of them may be partial (like myself, I live in Iran).
This is rather important since the situation is rather bad now, and while the two countries are in a good relation in the surface (the Iranian president is visiting Republic of Azerbaijan as I'm writing this), there are hot issues being discussed in the independent or non-official newspapers and websites, published in Tehran, Baku, or Tabriz, accusing "Persians" of anti-Azerbaijani behaviour (which includes Iranian-Armenian relations), asking for autonomous status for northwestern Iranian provinces, or accusing the ROA of funding separatist movements in northwestern Iran (which the separatists call "South Azerbaijan") and common maneuvers with the USA in the disputed water borders in the Caspian Sea.
I would wish to ask people to give some Wiki love to some of the pages, so we could really get some NPOV in the articles (google searches leading to the articles may be increasing) and more people could watch of the articles to help reduce the vandalizations. It's always hard for likes of me the distinguish vandalization and very pointed major edits that don't consider Wikipedia policy.
