Nair

Hi! I noticed your edits to the Nair article. Nairs are not known as a tribe in the actual sense. They are a Caste. --vi5in^[talk] 15:27, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, the problem is that in Wikipedia, things need to be attributable. I believe that most anthropologists consider Nairs to be a caste. There really is not basis to call them a "tribe". It might be true that they were a "tribe" before the Namboothiris came to Kerala. But I think they are currently known as a caste. So we probably have to go with what is current. If you have a source that states they actually were a tribe (in the past), then you are welcome to add the information. Thanks for the site, though. It has some very interesting info! --vi5in^[talk] 16:25, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, your edit most probably must have gotten lost in the recent edits. Someone was adding a "Sexual Life" section that had nothing to do with the article. Why don't you start a discussion in the talk page with your concerns? Just be warned though. A lot of people will come there with opinions/conjecture/original research. What we want is (attributable) facts. --vi5in^[talk] 17:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, don't be disheartened :). I have posted my thoughts on the issue. As always, I maintain that we need a reputable source. On Wikipedia, we usually describe or label a topic according to what it is known most commonly. This usually also means that we go with what something like Encyclopedia Britannica says. Britannica calls Nairs a Hindu Caste (although on Britannica, Nair is spelt as Nayar and so one could argue that the name needs to be changed. However, almost everyone spells it as "Nair"). What I propose is that we could have a paragraph or a section somewhere that describes Nairs as a community, perhaps from the perspective of Nairs themselves. Since we cannot allow Original Research, we need to make sure that this perspective is backed up by references. --vi5in^[talk] 19:40, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bharanickavu Devi Temple , Onattukara (September 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Most of the references are unreliable, such as Facebook and YouTube. This draft does not state specifically that the template is in India or what modern state of India the temple is in.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

February 2020

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to North East Delhi riots, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at North East Delhi riots, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. ⋙–DBig Xrayᗙ 05:57, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at North East Delhi riots. ⋙–DBig Xrayᗙ 06:02, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did on North East Delhi riots. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ⋙–DBig Xrayᗙ 06:09, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at North East Delhi riots, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. ⋙–DBig Xrayᗙ 06:15, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at North East Delhi riots. ⋙–DBig Xrayᗙ 06:23, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at North East Delhi riots shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

See the last thread on talk page. ⋙–DBig Xrayᗙ 06:38, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
