MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC) Caste articlesHi, I am finding myself reverting stuff you have added to caste articles in the last few days. Are you aware, for example, that the "states" series of The People of India is not considered to be a reliable source? And that WP:INDICSCRIPT applies to many articles? You also seem to be changing infoboxes but not always providing a source for the subdivisions etc that you add, and there seems to be a surprising lack of understanding of WP:LEAD and the viability of snippet views. Or is it me that is misunderstanding your edits? - Sitush (talk) 18:13, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
Edit: Never mind regarding the sources "People of India" and "Census of India". Just read User:Sitush/CasteSources. Will try to be more careful for next time.Xenani (talk) 21:58, 1 October 2018 (UTC) I am also noticing some very close paraphrasing, eg: of Kathleen Gough at the Vellalar article and of someone else at the Konar (caste) article. You can't do that and I am having to rephrase things. Further, you appear sometimes to be using snippet views from Google books and that, too, is frowned upon - you have no great context when using such things. - Sitush (talk) 20:07, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
InfoboxesHi, your poor cite formatting is frustrating enough but your repeated condensing of infoboxes is really getting on my nerves, sorry. An example is at Mukkuvar. Is there any reason why we can't have one parameter per line, as most articles do? And is there any reason why every article you edit even needs an infobox? They are not compulsory and when the article is long-established without one you should perhaps seek consensus first because they can be problematic when it comes to caste stuff. - Sitush (talk) 20:51, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Sitush. I have perceived your opinion. Further I am awaiting respond on Paravar talk page, and also the removing of content on Kammalar etymology. Xenani (talk) 13:17, 14 October 2018 (UTC) Wider discussionHi, I've mentioned you in this thread at WT:INB. I apologise for not assuming good faith about the sourcing issue but I really am struggling now. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. - Sitush (talk) 05:19, 23 October 2018 (UTC) I will look into it. Xenani (talk) 19:47, 23 October 2018 (UTC) AmbattanHi. I moved your Ambattar article to Ambattan because that's the term used by the sources you've included in the article. Perhaps it should be merged with Nassuvan because they seem to be talking about the same social group? --regentspark (comment) 21:22, 29 October 2018 (UTC) Hi regentspark. The "r" ending is a honorific suffix, whereas the "n" ending is considered rude, thus I used "Ambattar" for the article (as they are known as in colloquial speech) instead of "Ambattan". But I don't mind your change. Regarding merging the Nassuvan article, they could be merged, however the article should still be named "Ambattan" as it is the most preferred name in most sources and the term "Nassuvan" mostly occurs in sources by Kumar S. Singh (which are apparently non WP:RS). Xenani (talk) 21:54, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

States seriesHi, the "states" series of The People of India is not considered reliable, per past discussions at WP:RSN. The "national" series, which was published by Oxford University Press, is ok. You may need to revisit this edit. - Sitush (talk) 17:19, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
Neutrality is requiredHi, further to my comments related directly to the article, there is a matter that is specific to your editing approach rather than to any one article, so I bring it here. You have made many edits on south Indian topics; I do hope your edits on south Indian language forms do not relate to any personal point of view that you may hold. May I remind you that strict neutrality is required by Wikipedia policy. This means that you must never be tempted to add anything about such language forms because, for example, you know a language or personally like or prefer that language. It is absolutely fine per policy to make use of knowledge to help locate relevant information and sources, but it is never all right to advocate any point of view or seek to influence the tone or coverage of articles to emphasise that point of view. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:45, 7 March 2019 (UTC) I try to only contribute my edits based on objectivity and not personality. But anyway, thanks for the info.

Thanks for your helpActually just went through the history of some related pages - thanks for removing a lot of unsourced content. I'm going to try and add more sourced information by reading through a few relevant articles about the Sri Lankan castes, as some of the articles are really short, and more information would be good on modern influence and history.
