Census data update

Dear Wikiproject members, most of the articles for cities and villages in Armenia are still using the 2011 census data in the infobox, lead and body as the latest information. The 2022 Armenian census results are accessible here (you have to download and unpack the .rar file under "CHAPTER1. POPULATION DISTRIBUTION"). Based on the numbers used in the current articles, the statistic that should be used is "permanent population/մշտական բնակչություն". The data for individual villages apparently requires you to open each individual province's file here. Please help add them so the articles can have the most up to date information on population.

Thanks for sharing that, Revolution Saga. I had a look at your links and think that the administrative organisation of villages is certainly up-to-date (in regards to hamaynks), though I'm unsure if the population number reflects the 2022 census. In the Syunik file for example, there is a footnote in the header "Number of permanent population as of January 1, 2023, person" (page 371, or page 10 of the PDF) stating the following:

"The pօpulation of cities/towns are presented according to the current population statistics based on the RA 2011 Population Census."

In the following page, pertaining to non-urban settlements, the footnote in the same header states the following:

"The sources of these data on RA villages are statistical annual reporting forms «Age and Sex composition of rural population» provided by the communities. According to this source the total permanent population of RA 953 villages, as a whole and by marzes (regions), have some deviation from the same data of current statistics of population, which are based on the administrative registers of the Civil Status Acts of the Ministry of Justice and the Police (Adjusted by the Results of Integrated Living Conditions Survey), while the latter is statistically adjusted by the migration results of ILCS (as of 01.01.2023 the deviation comprised 8.7% for the Republic). The deviation is mainly due to the lack of a system for registration, exchange, comparison and verification of the given information between the villages at the level of nominal data."

Let me know your thoughts. Best, – Olympian ^loquere 02:28, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Armenian hamaynks (municipalities/communities)

​​Hi all, I'm wondering if we can come up with a template for articles of the Armenian hamaynk's, which in the late 2010s were consolidated to somewhat resemble the rayons of the Armenian SSR, though remaining under a marz. I've added information in many Armenian villages' infoboxes and ledes regarding their hamaynk (and wikilinked it pending their creation), but I think it would be a good idea to get a template out of how the hamaynk articles may best be written/formatted. Accordingly, the marz articles' administrative divisions section would need to be adjusted to reflect the consolidated hamaynks. Also, I think it's worth noting that at least one hamaynk (i.e. Gorayk Municipality) was abolished since their introduction in the late 2010s, according to the 2022 census, so it'd be helpful to have a list of the most up-to-date subdivisions. On another note, though more semantic-related, should the hamaynks be referred to on wiki as "community" or "municipality"? Let me know your thoughts.

Women in Green's October 2024 edit-a-thon

Hello WikiProject Armenia:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Indeed, there doesn't seem to be any evidence that a noble house by this name (Ճիճրակացի) existed. There was a single 5th-century noble, mentioned only in the history of Movses Khorenatsi (Book 3, Chapter 56), named Nerses Chichrakatsi. But old Armenian noble family names were not formed like this. The names ending in -atsi indicated a person's place of origin or a place they were otherwise associated with.
